i just wanted to let you all know i'm alive/still learning how to survive outside of the .com/home has grown into something more than a hyperlink/i think it's a lover's sunroom at sunset/sunrise has shone my thoughts back to feelings/light is what i feel most days/nights are no longer for giving up or giving in/love is where i lay my head down/love is how i keep my head up/love is sticking my neck out/love sharpens my pencils and puts them away/home is the feeling i don't have to explain/understand, i feel most like a poet when there's nothing to say/

buried alive.
it’s already been sixteen years since you shut your eyes for the last time
they etched your face into a grave and always tell me i look the same
maybe that’s why they always say i look so gray
but it’s been sixteen years since my eyes forgot how to cry
since they found a way for you to haunt me and hexed my flesh and bone
giving birth to a curse that’s kept my expressions petrified
maybe that’s why they think i’m mostly made of stone
because they etched your face over mine shortly after you died
someone must’ve known they’d be giving your ghost a home
i’ve spent sixteen years buried alive
it’s been sixteen years since they made your grave my own
and although my pain could never be shown at least they didn’t bury you alone

anxiety.
brush my tangled hair
and hold my tangled head
tell me that you’re there
to remind me i’m not dead
my eyes are cemetery blue
beneath the sun’s last breath
your eyes are shining through
they’re the only light that’s left
but the stars just feel so far
when the sky’s a tangled mess
just tell me that you’re there
because the sun’s about to set

twilight fireflies dance in a field of acrylic
and i've always bloomed in shades of blue
but there's magic, if you're open to feel it
tonight, these hearts are a little more full
it was always you.

quiet corners.
pretty girls in crowded places approach me and ask my name
i’m slow flicker, call me small flame but i fall in love like i’m a wildfire and burn myself along the way
i like to sit in quiet corners i find comfort in the rain
my heart’s half cemetery and i have my father’s face
i’m haunted by obituaries and a face etched into stone it’s the only father i’ve known
i’m followed by storm clouds sometimes my flame gets put out and i wear my head down for awhile
i think today’s one of those days where it’s kind of hard to smile
my name is stuttering wick but you can call me ryan
or you can call if you need anything at all
but most pretty girls call it quits and walk away from quiet corners

Naminé.
we were casting spells inside ourselves to break some curses
we found a magic mirror and it almost felt perfect the way it left our flaws exposed
we almost felt enchanted surveying all our damage finding harmony in everything
we awoke to our dreaming then i spoke of my demons and asked if i could summon them
we made plans for an exorcism you’re my catalyst, my little alchemist i know you’ll stop the cataclysm
we were casting spells inside ourselves to break some curses
we found a magic mirror and we dared to make it perfect by leaving all our flaws alone

"i'll remember every word
and every silly little quirk
the way you bite your lip
pretending you're innocent"
