the meatloaf sizzles and the silence
feels warm against my skin, tensed
and trapped inside scream against
scream against…

my heart-suffocation never felt so
good. just forget about crying, just
let yourself lay against the regrets;
push yourself, dizzy against this
current of trying to be who you are.

who you are. you are who-

is this girl with the burning mascara
eyes. whispers echo

“this just isn’t right”.

no but its our sick game, right?

wouldn’t want to give up on something
that consists of blue eyes and the color
green meshes well with the tips of
your fingers and this is what we live for.

this is us but it’s the only thing that

resembles a part of me –

a part of this smile makes me want to
dance even when i’m not sure of any
thing at this moment,

my heart-suffocation never felt so
good. just forget about crying, just
let yourself lay against the regrets;
push yourself, dizzy against this
current of trying to be who you are.

i’m convinced butterflies can’t fly in
the rain. i’m convinced fire flies
have a bigger heart than all of us;

i’m convinced –

that my little girl just doesn’t want to
come out and play right now. but i
miss being myself with your heart
tied around your hands, i could mend
the bruises and everything would be

alright –

if i knew what that was, maybe the
pictures wouldn’t burn wounds
against wounds against my chest.

everything’s starting to hurt but
the eyes staring into the back of
my neck is dripping with goodbyes
and –

this is us but it’s the only thing that

resembles a part of me –

the meatloaf sizzles and the silence
feels warm against my skin, tensed
and trapped inside scream against
scream against…

i could be an accident, but i'm still trying.

nice.
I like your style and connections, because they aren't your general connections. like how you mention meatloaf. so off the wall, and I love it.
Nice piece here.
