get off the cross, the wood is needed.

waking up in the same position I fell asleep in,

but I just want to be the furrow in your brow,

wanna be the mask you wear

when you gotta get real serious

                     with real strangers.

"You can't make me talk."

This can be so easy with the right hands,

dirt under your fingernails

and unintentionally, 

      the way you stand in driveways...

I saw the whole world melting at three a.m.

                      laughing,

and we can live like wax;

together.

"the way you stand in driveways"

Brilliant bit.

Very unique. Loved it.

Home run. From start to finish. You have a talent for painting a scene with a few carefully selected images. The voice is always clear as a bell. I think your font choices and spacing make a big impact in that department. The last five lines could be an entire scene and you did it in just a few words. I'm a fan of brevity and you've got it down. Another favorite.

laughing,

together.


Hypnotic, subtle expression of paranoid longing and the barbarous pain that can come with the desire to connect.

One of the most original pieces i've read in a good while. 100/100

How exceptionally refreshing to have a poet and balanced writer in one. Narrative flow and quite shocking imagery. I love you use of dialogging when it comes to hammering home your points. Well done!
