Daydreamer

I've got vines in my veins
Flowers in my brain
Soft little songs between nail and cuticle
Golden dreams drifting through valves and ventricles
Stardust sent from dermis to follicle
I think my big toe touched the void once
I'm not certain I'm real
Maybe I got eaten by the world I made to keep me safe

Death Becomes Her

Death becomes her
Sometimes she tries it on for size
She can see it in your eyes
She might as well be

She'll take the weight of it on her shoulders
Toss it around her neck like an expensive stole
Drown her doubts
Spit you out
Survive on spite

Death becomes her
Follows her like a stray
Threatening with each foul mewling
Death to dreams
Death to hope
Death to love

She laughs and snags it by the scruff
Oh, little devil, that's enough
Hush your face, but stay awhile
I need you still

Slay my fear
Slay my hate
Slay my pride
Kill all the ugly things that live inside

You darling little demon
You'll have me soon enough
Exercise some patience
There's no need to rush.

Hope for the Hopeless, but the Hopeless is Me

I tore down all the walls
Pointed to the rubble
Admitted it was mine

I ripped off all my skin
Showed the world I bleed
But there are no embraces for me
I don't remember how to be held

Just a sad girl, princess waving from afar
A beacon of hope for the masses
At least her heart is in the right place
She's so relatable

I don't know why you put me here
It's lonely on this pedestal
This is not where I belong

I miss the walls that hurt like home

Hello Lovely

Verse 1:
Are you a dream?
Did I hurt so hard
I made you real?
What is this?
I feel
Vulnerable
If I blink will you be gone?
Every time I do
And you still come into view
Relief washes over me
But so does the dread
As I gain more to lose

Chorus:
Hello lovely
Are you well?
Are you thinking of me?
How dare I wish for it to be
Every synapse like lightning
Whenever you are near
Please don't disappear
Please don't disappear

Bridge:
All the words in my world
Try to string them like pearls
As they roll out of reach
Slipping away from me
So I'll pet your face
Hope it means what I need it to
To beautiful you

Verse 2:
Are you a myth?
An obsession that
I can't conceal
What is this?
I feel
Fascinated
Do I have a part to play?
You reach out your hand
I'm struggling to understand
If I deserve to take it
I am left to
Question everything I am
