It's Easier 03:37
It’s Easier. It’s easier to just burn a bridge Than admit you’re wrong To say I’m sorry I hurt you Instead you just cut and run It’s easier to pretend That you’re in the right Than take responsibility For ruining other ppls life It’s easier to believe In a story you made up Than looking at the facts And starting to own up Can we go on ignoring The hurt that we cause ? Can you sleep at night? Cuz I can’t sleep at all.
2.
A Case For Silence All you do is talk A tap that won’t turn off Flood ever place you are We drown in your mess And when you speak You make a case for silence The things you’ve done The dishonesties and lying I can’t look at you With out uncontrollably crying And when you speak you make a case for silence You never ever shut up You say but never do Only running your mouth Thinking we wait in your breath No peace Except when I’m asleep Pointless noise Echoes through the house.

Guttering I sit outside my new place on the bench in the rain, Crying, too scared to go in Cuz if I go in, it means it’s real If I go in, it means this isn’t a dream Water falls From the two holes in my face The two holes in my roof The overflowing guttering I sit and wonder where dose it go? The love we had and the rain water flows I wish I could shrink down and float away Hide in the sewer for the rest of my days Falls from the sky Runs down the street Drops into drains Water leaving me,

A Pink Moon 03:27
A Pink Moon It keeps changing, I don’t know where I am What day what year is it, Where are all my friends? I keep waking, Up and keeping going, But I’m not sure for how long, I can’t keep it up, We keep breaking, Apart growing back together, I hope I pray it doesn’t matter anyway, Cuz it’s never up to me It’s different now, It keeps changing It’s difficult how, Nothing’s where I left it, I believe in, A new and ever lasting love We’ll grow it protect it never neglect it I believe in, A new and everlasting love I want to redefine what that means for us It’s better and worse, than ever before But I know that It’ll change, I’m scared and I’m hurt, Like never before, But I know we’ll be ok Cuz I love you, And you love me, And that is beautiful, And it has to mean something.

I See So Much Beauty In The World, I Just Don’t See Any In Me Is it a window or is it a mirror Can you see yourself in me Or are you looking through? Is it a door or is it a hallway Cuz on one of them will set us free Will you help me,make a difference? I want to see what you see in the world I cry I crack, When I see my reflection I lift I rise, When I know you’re with me Together, Maybe we can Together, Fill each other’s cup Is it a forever or a fling? Cuz I can’t really tell the difference Do you see yourself with me? Or are you just a little high right now I see so much beauty in the world I just don’t see any in me There is so much beauty in the world I just don’t think there’s any in me

A Natural Disaster. I’m on fire I’m in flood I’m all burnt up Covered in mud I am broken Trying to heal I am hoping For clear skies and a meal That’s all I need A sleep and bit to eat all I need Is for you to be next to me, And I still Can’t see your face You covered up Masked your pain But I’m still here By your side We are a team We will be fine.
7.
A room full of unwell people Putting poison inside themselves Wondering why they’re so lonely Wishing anyone could love them A person gets on a microphone And publicly flaunts their trauma We clap and cry and hold them up They are our our god their word is law Do you wanna help other people Or just want to further yourself? Ask yourself in the mirror everyday Am I just serving myself? You want it you got it Total narcissism now None of us will get better We don’t want to know how, You asked for it now deal with it Total selfishness now Applaud them enable them But don’t you dare help them
8.
There Is Probably Love Inside Of You There is probably love inside of you Buried deep in the bottom of your lungs There is probably love inside of you Pushed out in a breath when we hug There is probably love inside of you Lining your stomach leaking from eyes There is probably love inside of you You don’t look you never tried There is probably love inside you Put there by your mother when you were born, there was probably love inside you, There was once but now it’s gone. We both know you’re empty We’re two hollow ships And if we ever touch again We’ll break into thousands of pieces There is not any love in you I know I looked and I tried To see the best in what you do But I know that is a lie.

Sink. (For Maddy) Your breath falls out of sync with mine Your lungs expand, our ribs entwine I can feel you sinking into me Please don’t stop I want you here Your body it twitches, heaves significantly Can’t feel the passing of the time I can feel me sinking into you I can’t stop I don’t want to, Our pieces work together maybe better than they do separately, your chest moves with mine, perfect, repeatedly, Can you feel us sinking into each other? Lightening strikes into another, We collapse, we fall in real time Six days in a row, can you please be mine Completely sunk into you now Can I say it? I know you feel it too.

about

When love is gone where does it go?

Is a healing love possible?

Are we able to write our own narratives outside of the mundane?

Will we ever be truly free of the cis hetero restraints that pollute our lives?

I am doubtful.
