Do it all
Do it right
Hang yourself upon the night
Breathe in
Breathe out
Never let them see you how
You've always been
You'll always be
Sadness deep as an endless sea
Listen close
Hear them scream
Words drift through like colored steam

How I Want to Love You
This is how I want to love you,
quietly,
11:30 PM on my couch,
face lit up by blue iPhone light
This is how I want to love you,
bravely,
in the hallway by your locker,
putting both hands on his chest and shoving
This is how I want to love you,
at some ungodly hour of the night,
still awake,
wondering if you will ever hear what I confide to the darkness
sometimes I want to take my love
and curl up tight on my bed
and hold it to myself
because the pain in my gut is just too much to bear
sometimes I want to take my love
and spread it out behind me like a cape
and find the tallest building in sight to soar off of
because surely nothing can hurt me
sometimes I want to take my love
and write it in ink that will never fade
and put it somewhere that the world can see
because my words are too big to stay in my head
sometimes I want to take my love
when I lay on my back in the darkness and can't sleep
and toss it up through the black and let it fall again, like a bored child
for hours while I pond
Do it all
Do it right
Hang yourself upon the night
Breathe in
Breathe out
Never let them see you how
You've always been
You'll always be
Sadness deep as an endless sea
Listen close
Hear them scream
Words drift through like colored steam

I HEAR THE COSMOS COLLAPSING... by Heather-Chrysalis, literature
Literature
I HEAR THE COSMOS COLLAPSING...
I hear the cosmos collapsing against my soul.
Black space exploding, my imperfect face imploding
into a million skinless Stars, screaming into the
palpable Silence that has been touched less often
than even I have, into the abyss and the blackness
that beckoned me forward I stared, shapes realigned
the perimeters of my reality into a new glaze.
I felt the gravity slip away from under my feet.
Do you remember the time you poured liquor into my
virgin glass and made cocktails from the universes
spinning under my skin? I said "cherish me, please,
this gift that was mine" you said "why" and laughed,
you didn't see the tears I cried, m
We are two mariners Our ship's sole survivors In this belly of a whale Its ribs are ceiling beams Its guts are carpeting I guess we have some time to kill
