I have never let anything go. any feeling that’s left me has been pried from vice-grip fingers, plucked from my slowed heart on a cold operating table like the ocean, my instinct is to bury deepto keep my bodies, that’s why I left my first home under a pisces sun; my mother’s bones knew I’d end in a watery grave, clutching everything I’ve ever loved with a death grip.

Pearl of a Great Price Queen before Coronation Eternal Immolation Eyes ablaze with conquest Deposit to the song chest My Capricious Princess Promise. Protest. & Pronounce.

The pumpkin carriage Surviving each rigid bounce Along highways of hell Still I wish you well-dwell naught; ring naught, the bell.

Deposit to the wishing well.

Each lifetime has suffered Infinite gaze Immortality-buffered Yet One unphased.

The space between Will slowly disappear I will be here.

Just as the Pegasus draws The lonely gourd The faithful guard Depositing still To the Heart of the Queen.

Northern Lights I dream of seeing the aurora with my own eyes.

To look in awe at the beauty over the skies.

I’m afraid I’ll never meet my namesake, Before again I re-make that one big mistake.

I’ll just keep squeezing my eyelids so tight, Until I see the green and purple light.

Addicted to visualizing that sight within, Because when I open my eyes I’ll see the sky still dark yet again.

Aphonia Writhing restlessly, wrists writing symphonies when it rains, it pours rainbows of light bending beautifully across Scarborough Fair and Fortunate know not the pain of infinity

Whisps adjust to whisper as Fire Flies when it is night, even stars become painful Memories Morose, Damsel Disdainful living in the shadow of progress shines the warm, northern light of distress even Angels sigh from caged cries.

CYCLE BREAKER It’s strange, estranged, But I’m stronger a stranger, No longer in danger.

They call me: The Cycle Breaker Estranged is better than strangled; I’m not in knots now: I’m untangled.

I just hope that I can stay gold.

I lay low in mental mazes, Tie laces on shoes waiting to drop: No bad news—not on my watch!

I listen less to the clock, Outrunning the demons.

But they’re yours, not mineSo why can I see them?
