I want to talk with you

I want to talk with you

I want to talk with you 
I swear, it’s true 
but I feel like I’m drowning when I do
sometimes like I’m dying, too
It’s not your fault 
I’m like this by default 
a locked vault 
a girl made of salt 

You haven’t done anything wrong 
I hide when I see you but I always regret it 
because I’m still convinced I don’t belong 
It’s just too embarrassing to admit 
that I can no longer commit 
that I would rather quit 
that I am haunted by the same old shit

The more you like me the harder it gets 
cus friends last like cigarettes 
Every conversation leaves me counting regrets 

“I should’ve kept my mouth shut”
“Now she probably thinks I’m a slut”
“Does he even like me at all?”

That’s why I never call
cus the higher I climb, the harder I fall

If I don’t try I can’t fail 
so I stay away 
cus relationships are frail 
and I’ll run out of things to say 
But maybe I’ll talk to you again some day
Not today
(No way)
But maybe you’ll like me anyway?

I want to talk with you 
If only you knew

I read your pain through this one Sad Girl, I especially enjoyed this stanza,

The more you like me the harder it gets 
cus friends last like cigarettes 
Every conversation leaves me counting regrets

Very powerful and resonating poetry. I feel as if you have a natural poetic eye and voice. Me?... Well, my voice comes and goes... I can`t seem to find it at the moment. I hope you have been well. Your friend, Max

I eat (high-quality) human meat

Headless body, what a treat!
Decapitated crying meat!
The mistresses scurry, their dresses...

Fairies of the Flesh

Bend it, twist it, crack it, break it
A woman’s limb is flesh counterfeit
Stretch the neck...

Tired of toiling in golden dust,
To labor long in roles of trust,
They gazed upon the queenly...

The very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott Harris

I led a boring life.
The end.

All joking aside, now the epilogue.

As a bookish...

Soul

She hovers over me
I cannot see her
but I feel her presence
I know she’s there...
