Poems:

Twenty-nine

You lay next to me
In my dreams.
So I shut my eyes to see you there.

My swollen heart beats in your hands
of spiked ice picks.
Oh I'm sure the next beat
will be its last.

If I throw up
you'll go away.
Wait, come back.

You know I'm here
I let you hunt me.
Do you feel me?
Will you feel me?

Watch me drown
I like it.
Tie me down
watch me squirm.

I lose sleep
I cant breathe
I'm obsessed
You're possessed
I'm scared
I think you know
I wont tell
Lead me on
Let me down
Tell me something
show me one thing
touch my hand
say my name
Make a move.
play the game

I hear your voice.
You call to me.
I pull you in,
You let me go.

You disappoint
You'll never know.
