here is a love story in quiet words: she pressed her hands to my heart and her palms came away dusty.

chaos theory

I soaked your butterflies in vodka and buried them alive. I planted yellow daisies in the 20-proof dirt and waited for the sunshine to make us all golden. Sometimes when the winds are angry where you are, I think of your butterflies and wonder if we're all still fighting to get out. If they ever named a hurricane after me I would call you up just to say I told you so.

Ephemeral

1. i wake up and tear the sun from the sky like this is a grade school art project and i am supposed to share something worthy of myself-- i think there is a black hole nestled betwixt my lonely ribs, devouring anything alive. on days like these, my greatest weakness is weakness and i am my own fatal flaw. we live by mantras and my ears ring ‘i hate every piece of me’ (he put his head to my chest and heard me dying; call me beautiful now) 2. we are the false ends of sunken universes, we are pieces of dead galaxies and you are stardust, god, you are beautiful. i believe that this is all just a dream by someone with an

Guilt that eats

Maybe I should have questioned why your teeth always chattered like fingers clicking on a typewriter, and why your fingernails looked as though faint, blue ink had bled through but who questions anything but hair, makeup, and boys at the age of sixteen and maybe I should have noticed the lunches you spent doing homework, or listening to music, as you gave away your lunch, because you said you were not hungry- and I silently thought more for me and maybe I should have wondered why you walked through the hallways with pockets of graphite under your eyes, as your knees knocked together like keys on a lanyard: clink clink clank and maybe t

You're Not?

You're anorexic if you're thin You're not? Then you're obese. If you're different, you're insane You're not? Then you're a fake. If you're happy, you're hiding something. You're not? You must be emo. If you're dating, you're a slut. You're not? You must have no friends. If you're popular, you're a jerk. You're not? You're a nobody. If you're quiet, you must be disabled. You're not? You obnoxious freak. If you're you, you're wrong. You're not? Then you must be perfect.

Ashes on a Grave

Hand rolled cigarettes, yellowed fingertips liver overworked, waiting outside in the cold sunshine reception desk, awaiting request, clipboard and swinging hips "This is your mother?" Yeah, that's mine nurses with red ruby lips, stomp embers out, it'll all be fine swallow the cup of bitter pills, fifty second visit of 1959 Weekly, my mother gets to see me ever since I became a made man I made time dementia makes her lose track, she's old and weakly she doesn't remember her own five sons, in her mind I never did a crime I'm paying all her bills, but family doesn't come freely she thinks I'm my father, a deadbeat I never knew, she's staying here on my dime! A man who failed to raise me, that's what I get, every tender moment ends with her asking for her husband throwing the knife into my heart like spit I kill myself to drive out here, to channel the dead go back and channel violence onto any poor mook's head break bones, break safes, break bottles and then break bread and I mean

My Life Story Isn't A Poem

This is what it feels like to crumble down in a blazing squall. You are muffled gunshots wrecking yourself in high speed collision with his brass armor. You compress every eruption by choking ashes and swallowing shatter glasses because god forbid you are a frostbitten girl with hitched breath and messed up mascara and god forbid you are explosive and god forbid you crumble down because no, you are an inspiration and you are clenched fist and sculpted chest, you are concrete and you are statue, you are the ice cold dusk and YOU DON

Why Books Suck

Let me write you a story of all you want to hear. Of intercourse and romance, drugs and beer. Of simple plots and story devices, where no thinking is required. I'll even make it into a series, everything you've desired. Pick it up in the middle, why not? It's all the same. So-and-so get together, there's sex on every page. It's the best story in the world, and it only took me six days! Don't worry about morals, there's none to be learned. If you hate life-long lessons, then enjoy every word. The characters are flat with the basic of descriptions, with no voice of their own. If one dies, no tears will be shed, there's another just arou

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub.

i. to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub: in the magazine I own that published your story, they blurred out the crime scene photographs, erasing your face and the full curves of your breasts. some part of me wonders if you would have wanted this, or if you would have liked for the public to see you in your final moments, half-soaked in grey-looking water, your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain, eyes closed and mouth gaping, no breath stirring, no bubbles rising. ii. sometimes when I look into the depths of my bathroom sink, I hear your voice (or what I imagine it to be-- after all, we never met). you sit on the edge

I read a lit piece a few weeks ago, in fact I think it was a DD, that analyzed the stages of dA addiction. I've had this idea bouncing around since then, and it really applies to any website - tumblr, facebook, dA, even email sometimes - we become hard-core addicts to the internet.

Edit: here's a link to the lit piece I was talking about! fav.me/d5a0y12
