[rayven-interrupted]

Hidden in my lines

you’re a testament of time

I’ve been dying inside

your words are always my place to hide

I’ve stood in the grey

and faded away

silently

under grace

violently

make my

mistakes

constriction makes it hard to breathe

wide awake

in this empty space

devoid of everything I need

your God grants serenity

my Gods have abandoned me

or maybe that’s just how it seems

the more of you

the less of me

this grey space consuming me

I’ll fold your words

in tiny notes

mixed with ash

and choke

in the back of my throat

while dreaming of a softer girl I’ll never be

Brick and mortar

crime scene

right hook

obscene

dreadlocked red lip Pin up queen

forever a dead end one way street

I’ll die all alone with my broken bones

ghost

writing

poetry

-R

[rayven-interrupted]

The same mouth that poured prophetic honey on my tongue

Now speaks

in bitter

tones

I’m exhausting, love, I know..

You want love to flow freely from my bones

You want my blood

my dreams

my soul

claim me as your own

I never told you that I loved you

I’m just better off alone

but it

fucking

hurts

that I came so close

it hurts

letting you go..

-R

— Traci Brimhall, Dear Eros

[rayven-interrupted]

You're a birthday cake with a bullet inside

veiled premonition

in motionless nights

your prophetic dreams

play tricks on my mind

Lessen the need

Nailed hard to me

Unrestrained

Untamed

Seething with some unnamed rage

Like someone just let me out of your cage

Focused but I can't see straight

chosen by unscripted fate

Flames danced across your broken bones

Marrow spilt prisms in effulgent tones

Climb inside

Possess my mind

This is where I fall behind ...

your Lazarus eyes

oceanic tides

heavy with visions from the other side

Your rainbow of fire succored in smoke

While flames dance across my scarlet bones

sparks of ozone

Calling you home

In the wake of your shadow I felt less alone

[rayven-interrupted]

I romanticized the darkest parts of my life, painted pain into shades of poetry, and turned heartache into something beautiful.

I made my suffering feel softer, more bearable, as if giving it meaning could take away the sting.

But some nights, no amount of pretty words can disguise the darkness.

- Daria Synn

[rayven-interrupted]

I have always found your work to be raw and beautiful, you are a role model to me and inspire when I write in a more raw form.

I value you when I catch your eye and get a heart on my work

I’m flattered, thank you so much.. whoever you are 🖤

[rayven-interrupted]

I found another bottle

you’d hidden in my house

two years ago

when poison was all you wanted in your mouth

the violence in me

refused to grieve

the apathy

of disbelief

a dark romance with make believe

I held on through

the worst of you

Like I could somehow love it out of you

If I could slow dance with the death of you

my dark romance

veiling the truth

And I,

terrified

every time you closed your eyes

your dark romance with suicide

the sestina I could never write

you never knew

how hard I tried

I‘ve imagined your apologies

my scarred heart just a casualty

the ghost of you

still haunting me

a dark romance of memories

[rayven-interrupted]

I’m only here to exist in your shadow.

And I love you.

She's not everything...

She's a blast of silly string

to avoid the fight

She's that cool

breath of fresh air

That tells me

it's going to be alright

She's the moon,

Illuminating the night

But don't get it twisted .

Her essence is mystic

Spellbound and cryptic

She's a suprise submission

Bareback saltrock shotgun shells

on a dark summer nights

psilocybin mission

She's Hell bound addiction

And heaven sent

And no amount of medicine

Can make me forget

She's the rabbid wolf

in any fight...

The girl you want

by your side

But the calm seas

make Cyanide

Tephlon Ironhyde

Rest on

Thru the darkest time of night

Juggling the prettiest kinda lies

Lascivious fireflies

I can think of nowhere I'd rather be

but by her side

As my moon starts to fall

And the sun tries to rise

My current circumstance

Is my penance

for living this kinda life

So tired of just surviving

I'm trying to thrive

And She's always on top

Cuz she likes the ride

And I am, of course obliged

To let her grab the stick and fly

And pilot thru the pink and violet sky

Into the horizon

Where the mouth of heaven

opens wide

To whisper life into this mind of mine

- Devine Theory

“And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't

'Cause if I say I miss you I know that you won't

But I miss you in the mornings when I see the sun

Somethin' in the orange tells me we're not done”

Why do I torture myself with this song…

[rayven-interrupted]

I only let you touch me

because you remind me

of everything that I ever hated

and loved

about him

It was never you I saw

It was never your skin I felt

It was never your voice I heard

It was always

his

You were just a fucking tourniquet

with the wrong color eyes

[rayven-interrupted]

“But you, but you

You write such pretty words

But life's no storybook

Love's an excuse to get hurt, and to hurt

Do you like to hurt? I do, I do

Then hurt me, then hurt me”

[rayven-interrupted]

Every minute echoes goodbye

but

I loved you

Didn’t I?

wait for you vitriolically

prayed for you

symbolically

my eyes cried dry

I watch the moon rise

tracing your name through stars in the sky

I still can’t stand to see the sunrise

on the unlit side

of this great divide

every time I close my eyes

It’s like the darkest suicide

have you any clue how hard I tried

you, my amorous demise

Just below my violent rage

pinned inside a bruised rib cage

my wounded heart

bleeds out

your name

When did you stop craving me

our violence over apathy?

choose silence over cadency

another place to replace me

this ache languidly killing me

foreshadowing a prophecy

claw marks on all our memories

death writing in calligraphy

all the words you’ll never see

-R

[rayven-interrupted]

The last of my love

Split from my soul

I’ve laid it to rest

I’m letting go

Your dream demon

with her hand on my throat

left her succubus

and released her hold

the spells we cast for eternity

now dust and ash

mysteriously

my immaculate sin

I am finally set free

My nights a tormented sea of green

darkly fractured

sublimely obscene

You have your patrons

and I have mine

The difference is

I’m so maligned

the perfection held sacred

I gave only you

grew cold as I fated

my death for you

and I think

It’s best

you

never

knew
