NOTHING PHYSICALLY SPOKEN

Spencer:

I desperately wish I could decode her thoughts and meanings

the mood of today is described in two words: selfish and empty

emotional turmoil amongst the acquaintances as a break up of an artificial love

bursts the seams, it was rightfully justice for they both used each other for various things

love and acceptance not being one of them

her answer breaks my thoughts and exposes what is missing

in my reality, I live in a wonderland

where pills are the only solution to permanent help

yeah, I've had that boiling in my thoughts, worn deary on my sleeve..

it's not that I don't relate... but my mother could.

This feeling leaving me uncomfortable and nauseous in my own skin

scrolling the word: WANTED with a razor blade on my ribcage

purging up contents of daily meals purposely in the toilet,

too many calories and too much guilt

I self-isolate myself, fragile in the bathtub alone

bloody fingerprint stains the page..

this will kill me, how I want it to be true..only you

Ashley:

Sealed in a newspaper comic envelope with a blood-stained heart

as enclosure, signed and delivered

sickening and twisted in youth

Life is beautifully reckless, we are all vulnerable

put on a mask and triumph the tragedies of the show

I'm too numb to feel right now..

in a daydream she holds my hand in comfort and fear

Spencer:

I quickly sting myself with quick reaction as I let the open wound

touch the hot water and soap of jasmine and lavender

I came into the face of reality in a pair of yoga pants and a dirty beater tank top

opening the mailbox to find this message, written on a cd

excitement and lust fill me

as the cd plays in the background

...happiness exists in a low light so dim that hunger cannot satisfy me

I realize that I miss her and have mistaken her beauty

I promise it'll be just tonight
