Hey gigs (guys) whats up

[queenoflightningpoet]

Portrait of a Taco Bell Parking Lot at the Withching Hour (2020)

Don’t let them see you cry.

Sometimes you must scream to fill the hours with something you’ve made.

There is nothing like us on the market.

We are the only ones raging in the broken neon lights.

Find the small parts of me left intact and rip them to shreds.

You belong in my chest more than I do.

[queenoflightningpoet]

I don’t need to be fine forever

I just need to be okay

Right now

So I can get up

[queenoflightningpoet]

A graveyard inside me

Somewhere deep

No not there

A little to the left

Yeah that’s it

Where I’ve buried

Everything I was never

Allowed to say

Here’s where it will remain

Until one day it becomes

Part of another graveyard

Won’t that be neat

[queenoflightningpoet]

For once in my life

I just want something

Safe from the world

That I get to hold

When I can’t feel my body

[queenoflightningpoet]

If I told you I loved you would you even know why?

[queenoflightningpoet]

What is the point

Of loving someone

If they just plan to leave?

Why should I

Become so tied to them

If they only want

To rip me out of their veins

And drive away without me?

[queenoflightningpoet]

Provo

I refuse to let myself feel anything

In this dangerous place

I am not safe to express love

My skin is kindling for the fire

They will build at my feet

If they heard the songs I sing

In my head just to stay sane

I hate it here

How I am always on display

In someone else’s clothes

Wearing someone else’s smile

A dead girl’s smile
