Falling past
the footsteps on the
stairs
footprints in my hair
tiny little bugs feet
floating in the air
Fucking crazy
and dont much care
happy cuz Im my own
sad for mostly no reason at all
other than that I lost my rainbows
cant remember the happy thoughts
Ugly on All Sides by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
Ugly on All Sides
Ugly on all sides
the dark sickness:
eats from inside out
with its cancer mouth
& cracked nails
tear out your water veins
: sneaks in through holes
in your ears
and irises
With my sugar teeth
rotten & eaten by smaller mouths
I will tear up my own sickness
& eat my ugly bones
Beautiful on all sides
I can beat my own cancer
with my puzzle mind
& light feet
Black spot, buzzing across my
room
little fly
* you can choose to let it pass *
somehow it found a way in
Little bug
how can I choose
to let you infect my place
the one where
(I guess)
I am home
A black filled space
where there should be only lonely
air
taken by a fly
* how can I breathe where youve been? *
Little disease
youre spotting up my cancer life
False Commitment by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
False Commitment
Maybe if I cleaned up
put away my rainbows coming down
from storm clouds
and let loose all the purple smoke
Ive been holding in my aged lungs,
letting dreams grow sour inside my head.
Then maybe with my drugs away
and my smile painted on right
the sweet-talkers will step out of the
television screen
& Ill be given a chance at that
fairy tale life.

Literature
Been Hanging Out with Alice
When the world comes around
& the faces fade
& smiles break down
wont you join us?
All partying down in the
rabbit hole
where everybody swings
& nothing that should be
is where everything begins.
In your face
I can see where you plunged
into the pavement
through to the Other-side
where the rabbits hide.
Come find us
on the Chessboard.
Ive been hanging out with Alice,
youll recognize me
by my blood-shot eyes.
She always flashes you a peace sign
and a smile
whiteness you could live on,
a drug that you live for
handed out in trade for happiness.
She dances for hand tricks, and cigarettes.
All she wants from you
is to be taken away
it doesnt even need to be a better place,
just take her somewhere shes never been
and shell show you some things
youve never seen.
Shes staying in your starry eyes
waiting on the milky way
to wash her back into place.
Just take her somewhere shes never been.
waiting on sleep by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
waiting on sleep
Angels dont sing for us,
Left below.
Left to sing our lullabies
Alone.
Hoping for sleep.
People could learn to fly,
If we learned to teach.
You gave a promise.
Promise me dreams.
Wish me sleep.
Tell me the secret to wings,
Teach me of dreams.
Cant count on angels
If they will not preach.
Hold my hand
And pray that I sleep.
No one should have to watch their life pour,
From cuts that went to far,
And games played to hard.
With the words that fall from my lips,
I ask: be mine today,
Be mine for the last day.
The stars that dazzle my eyes,
Are sweet to look at,
But they burn my heart.
I swear Ill never be far,
Even if we are universes apart.
Feet Don't Talk by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
Feet Don't Talk
Without legs
without feet
I float.
I scream.
Help me stand, I want to
walk beside you.
I want to stand next to you
and stare into your eyes
without you starring down at me.
Why is it
when I sleep, I dream
that it is you
who makes me crawl?
(I used to stand so tall.)
Im not a real murderer,
but Ill suffocate your soul.
(Suffocate you.)
You never could sit still,
fidgeting with the cuffs
of your
dirty sleeves.
And you never could hold me,
without shaking at the knees.
(Hold still for me.)
Would you do anything for me?
For your murderer?
For your whore?
My Favourite Flower by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
My Favourite Flower
Hearts beat in sync,
(Roses in my ears.)
Lovers whisper softly,
with roses on their lips.
The color of her blush,
at the sight of my gift.
Loving her is such a strange thing.
(Your skins so soft.)
Let me touch her,
let me hold her,
(please dont make me let go.)
Roses strewn across the bed.
My bed.
(Our bed, if you will share it with me.)
Let my hands wrap her in scented pleasures.
(The roses smell so sweet.)
Let me breathe her in.
She trembles so gently.
(Do I make you happy?)
Does she feel me?
(Do you feel how much I love you?)
No Ones a Giant by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
No Ones a Giant
Break my wrists
in your hands.
I never regret
that you couldnt
make the world disappear.
Youre not a giant next to me.
Youre sweating palms and
shaking knees always
gave you away.
Fear me.
Break my wrists
Ill break your heart,
Im not the whore you took me for.
Honey Coated Razor Blades by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
Honey Coated Razor Blades
Its gotten hard to swallow your razor blades,
The feeling has gotten dull.
Your lies spew thicker than honey,
As you force them down my throat.
And the stone that is your heart,
Has stilled,
As you choke on the truth.
See the fake
For what it is.
Plastic roses were bought with a razor blade.
Do you feel it on your cement skin?
When the Music Stops by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
When the Music Stops
Short red hair and
drumming her fingers
to the beat of her blasting
MP3 player thats sure to
be the deafening of her by age 30,
she sits on the street...
Hey cutie, what you listenin to?
(And doesnt it say, in Madonnas great wisdom, that
MUSIC makes the people come together?)
And she still cant figure
out why that song he sang outside her room
that one night,
after that first fight,
still echoes on her window pane.
Theres just something about
a guy and a guitar
thats so
hot.
(Music makes the people come toget
While You Sleep by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
While You Sleep
This hate isnt worth anything,
Without something in between.
Just a waste of my time,
The clock
is running out on me.
I drew you a long line,
But you stepped onto my side.
Nothing left
but oblivion,
Nothing left
but dark skies.
The stars dont shine for me.
This place
holds to much gravity,
And it
wont let you fly.
Im ready to see again,
But the faces are to sore on my eyes.
Whats the point if you cant cry?
Nothing left but you for me.
Turn on the stars for me.
They dont know that Im not asleep, Im going to blame them for that, its theyre fault. How can they yell when theyre child cries?
No child is left behind.
Please bring me home
I dont miss you, but I want you by my side, just because Im cold,
and maybe you arent.
But you are, youre colder than I am, dead cold.
Lets pretend youre not though.
Will I sleep on the side of the street some day? It could be tomorrow if I left today.
Why did the baby cry when daddy died? None of us even knew yet, hell, she didnt even really know daddy. But she did,
she cried.
Things
he used to party but now he wrestles,
& fights the ghosts from his skull.
he used to hide bottles but now he hides skeletons,
& tattoos on his ankles.
he tapes his cigarettes to the backs of his legs,
& wears a scarf to hide the hickeys on his neck.
every night he prays for a guardian angel,
to rescue him from his fantasy-reality world denial.
& he convinces himself he's in love with every girl he sees,
& maybe it's because he smokes too much weed,
& maybe it's because he drinks too many forties,
but I swear on his heart,
it was only me.
"Honey, are you cold?"
"Wait, why are you shaking?"
"Breathe in deep, now breathe out."
I'm flicking the ashes on my shoes,
& I know I'm going to lose,
lose it.
I'm shoving my fists in my eyes,
let's burn down this haunted house,
& drown the ghosts.
grinning with all our teeth
& biting with all our
fingers
&
fingers
slicing the wind out the window.
climbing trees with our hair stuck in the branches,
& sunshine stuck in our teeth.
dirt on our hands
& knees,
& dirt settling to the bottom of our lungs.
a ribcage you can grab
& put your fingers underneath.
&
underneath
a heart smiling with all its arteries;
a birds nest infested with bees.
we're unraveling.
we're collapsing in each other's arms and falling to the beer-stained ash-ground floor. we're the unraveling carpet beneath the drugs and we can't tie ourselves back together.
café in the city.
we are members of the place.
our lungs are ashtrays.
our lungs are ashtrays.
collapse on the antique chairs.
the walls are yellow.
the walls are yellow.
from the paint and the smoke stains.
café du marquis.
café du marquis.
here come the same kids again.
we are kings and queens.
we are kings and queens.
royalty of royalty.
walking through the door.
walking through the door.
cheap bastards bumming smokes.
endless energy.
endless energy.
its so unnecessary.
love it anyway.
Here is the Wilderness-Man by merryslambgonewrong, literature
Literature
Here is the Wilderness-Man
Here is the strong man
who swam the rivers
and fought the trees.
Lover of broken stars
and Gypsy Queens
kidnapper of mad hearts.
Hell trap you
in locking jaws
and cramping arms.
See how he makes the world shake
as he changes over
from human
to beast.
Here stays the wild-man.
Watch the forest rumble
as he makes the sky fall.
See him tackle the stars
from the night.
Welcome the wilderness-man
welcome him home,
let in the cold
from a forest of steel and stone.
I'M BACK
and just cuz i've been neglecting deviantart doesn't mean i stopped writing over the last few months, so i'll have to start adding a bunch of new stuff to get back up to date. And who of you knew (big rhyme) that i painted? Well none of you probably but i've finally got the guts up to start adding some of my art, its not very high quality stuff and looks better on a real wall than a cyber-wall but whatever, just thought it was time that i starting sharing this stuff.
Well peace everybody and hope u like the new stuff.
Hey lady! It's been a damn while since I've been on, but thanks for the replies- I'm letting you know that my account will be delete soon, and I'm making another under the name "Bright Molly"... eventually- In case you ever want to look me up, it will have different stuff.
Your work makes e wish to try my hand at poetry again. You are quite profound, especially for one so young. ( That is if your profile is currant, if not, well I've just made an ass out of myself to yet another person...)
wow, i havent been on deviant art in more than a year so sorry this is so late but thanku, u actually just made me wish to start writing poetry again, its been quite awhile. And dont worry ur not an ass i am quite young or atleast i was when most of this was written
