Half way home
is a long way
from all the way home
half way back
from a heart attack
in a halfway home
just means you're not dead yet
maybe you're right
i'm just being over polite
when we half way talked
i think it's the right call
cause i fucked it all up again
she is not alone tonight
i walked past her house
and i saw the light on

Smokey

Blood grooves
behind your eyelids
and cuts into shapes in your head
You see me
falling asleep in a
strangers bedroom again
it's 2 am
and it's cold as hell
Cold smokey smell
in the kitchen
as I'm burning these eggs
You float
offa the stove top
to cover my eyes and my face
open your eyes
there's no one around
it's just one more day of driving around
checking your phone all the time
images pressed to your brain iron out
they coalesced
and blood's all that's left
Smoke floats
out of your moth
and swirls into shapes round your head
it's 2 am
and it's cold as hell

Loss

Take what you need
and get the hell away from me
Or make like we're friends
like it's a past not a history
It's just a loss
Now that I'm lonely
it's nice to look miserable
Why should we talk
it's a bed not a history book
It's just a loss
Now that you've seen what I hold up my sleeves
trying hard to make friends stick around
it's just a loss

Marianne
a back handed compliment.
a letter you wrote said
you meant to send
but you never meant a word
Marianne
are you angry again?
tied up and wired on punishment
for some made up sin
like you were born bad to begin with
As if you'd been born
with those scars on your arm
and the bruises on you legs
and both your eyes black
the way that they were this morning
and the one before that
I hope your boyfriend dies
and I hope you dad dies too
and every abuser who
used you or tied you up
held you down or beat you up
drowns in the sound they refused you
Marianne

Joy

My biggest fear is that the drugs i take will stop doing what they're supposed to do. Who would I turn to then?
My biggest fear is a white room with padded walls: drugs and attendants and drugs. Who would I turn to then?
Who could hold my hand?
Who could show me the floor?
Who could hold my head when I'm caught
alone in cellar again?
But sometimes I feel joy,
that you wouldn't believe.

Water Wings

That's a pretty dress
I know what's underneath it
It's not even a choice
back to the bathroom to beat it
back to your bathroom to beat it
But you can't have
everything you want
and you can ask anyone
but you can't have anyone
It's a funny sight
me in the water wings
that my mother made me wear
I must have been three
back when you were dying
back before you died and
left me
in the water
But you can't have
anything you want
and you can ask anyone
but you can't have anyone
