cinderella and her lies
-0-
you are watching over my coffin
like vultures to carrion
but i was too sad to carry on
so i guess this should be "el fin"
-1-
yet i look longingly down from a higher place
it might be heaven
but it is the end
unless i shall go somewhere outside of space
-2-
it would take bytes upon bytes
to redownload my mind
because i was always lagging behind
wasting my days- wait, no, my nights
-3-
notice how my heart is at a slant
teetered, tottered, askew
but you could never know, i would have never asked you
i guess this why there's a mob with a chant
-4-
so this is that part where you bid me adieu
the part where my coffin guets buried
because there is no story to read
it was almost like i never had you.
-5-
12 strikes of the bell
midnight is absurd
my arise is unheard
i guess this is the 8th ring of hell
-end-
so scenery and pretty trees
they always fled like fallacies
so now i'm filled with uncertainty
was i ever really truly free?
expectations i live down
lead me astray
somewhere i can cry
somewhere i can't be ridiculed
somewhere i am finally free
somewhere my actions have no ultirior motive
some
where
i
do
not
have
to
tread
with
c a u t i o n
every time
i speak
(eggshells? legos? glass?
i do not know what i am stepping on)
worship and it's effects
i whisper
your name
like a fordbidden word
i scream
my name
like a foolish swear
but we're the same, no?
so why is your name holy
and mine a sin?
i am < the cruel fate i have been bestowed
i ≠ punctuation or #s
(@ some point you must realize so)
[bracket brace for impact]
colon : smiles made with half of a whisper )
slash / and divide ÷ & dice into
a % of a fraction
of my ♡
and i ask ? and yell ! and pause , and will end .
more and less > < to revise *
and fill in _ th@ you have grown ×
but somehow are still ≠, never =
putting price$ on everything
crunching numbers #
must be hard
why don't you shorten ' and pause -
and connect ;
instead of hurting?
that way you'd be less lonely
and not a {code} in a machine
i will/was/am
you
gave
me
your
hand
but
now
i hold
your burdens
small regrets
that you
said belonged
to me
i dropped the
solemn friendship that
was filled with
your perfect lies
like a macaron
and i walked into
another trap you made
the one where everyone
turned their back to
your painfully disgusting lies
or is it a fallacy?
homophones
i heard that you took the fare
you stole not only money
but hearts
that isn't very fair, is it
and the next day
i saw you there
you were saying
it was meant to be theirs
yet you knew that was a lie
doesn't that haunt you?
can't it make you hurt?
does it daunt you in bed while you lie?
somehow you said
i wasn't meant to be here
don't you know?
i will always hear.
i always regretted not saying no
but i think that it's unfair
because you always know
shackles known as life
life
death
rebirth
repeat
life
death

black catnip poetry (herb + ellie)
i am too tired
to do anything
that feels meaningful
that would be menial
that should seem magical
my life is flourishing
or failing
or flailing
i am unsure
i am too sorry
to say anything
that speaks for me
that works to please
because i am too tired
to be anything
(and i might die,
but my casket is unseen)
words
es cape
lands cape
one is a desire
one is a place
mis pell
ex pell
one is simply a mistake
the other not so much
compreh end
appreh end
all things will come to an end
life,
liberty,
longevity
they all are not
infinite
they are completely
finite
(and in finite things,
you'll find they are not fine)
minty herb mix poem
cruel beings
you look down on me
and then bring me at crossroads
÷ of the mind
with < than or > than
and × = + or ^ ≠ %
angles, tri angles, vertical angles
polygons, penta gons, dodeca gons
and yet
math == life?
math == death?
i do not know
but
code is like math
orderly,
known,
familiar.
each () {} [] has a partner and a place
but there are only conditionals, loops, methods:
one path;
no crossroads.
(i wonder. did the chicken cross the road
to avoid the cruelty of choice?)
