Dance

borderline short-term memory loss

I forget

Often demented

Typical

Hibernating

Criminal

Cruel

Foul

Cold

Paranoid

walk *RUN*

is it even worth knowing my own name?

I'm the only one who knows my pain.

Forcefully smothering it

isn't saving me.

wondering

where

I

am

it's only fair

I don't belong here

We never *do* anything.

filming suicides

beatings

rape

pain of others

for profit

doesn't change the world

our lives

their minds

Swing around

remember

Our forests are being saved

By people like us

It still feels like

The long con

And the destruction of our world

We need more people like them

Superheroes in their own ways.

Saving the planet

Saving lives

For love, not profit.

Not fame.

We're all in pain.

Nobody is alone.

You will not drown.

[teddythepoet]

a gulp

a swallow of air

sudden

not bad

well

not good, either.

silence

reaches across me

stretches and blankets the room

he suddenly grabs my hands

Frowning

I groan

There's nothing

no feeling

am I a ghost?

He's calm

His eyes

Steady

no

it's serious

I admit

once upon a time,

I felt real

connected

a part of life.

Do I still exist?

aren't you curious?

a little absurdity.

curious??

bad things happen.

I've got no choice.

normal?

Maybe he's right.

I can remember.

We're thrown

bound

guessing

captured

leaning

turning

avoiding

going too far

tugging at our necks

Can't take it anymore

I can't taste anymore

we pull away

I'm startled.

Nothing

Nothing

Not

a

damn

thing.

[teddythepoet]

We all know

I'm

dramatically

giving in.

Sorry, guys.

We gave it an effort, though.

That's what matters.

giggles

He looks down,

"This one is for [REDACTED]."

unimpressed.

"Why me ?"

After, he leaves. But I stay.

It's small, and empty.

When at home, I have to be quiet.

It's boring.

I keep him company.

But, he works.

"It's empty."

"We can be as loud as we want."

I know,

I can't really blame him.

He's alone.

A lot.

He disappears,

and I,

yell,

call,

pull back,

fade.

ask around the stretched open abyss.

Suddenly, I-

I don't know..

Nobigdeal.

it's a recipe for disaster!

we kissed? so?

Does it bother me?

no..? I mean-

does it ?

a bit.

He lets out a breath.

I start.

I'm not sure how I'll handle this.

[teddythepoet]

Dodging His Tongue

I can't tell if

my insides are:

made of a thousand butterflies

about to dissolve

We're crazy ones.

Not like we ever denied anything between us.

In fact,

I joke

quite often.

Think it's funny that this

"relationship"

lead up to this

"chicken" dare.

I chuckle awkwardly.

My insides twist.

laughter

nudging me

I scoff, surprised.

His expression remains nuetral.

His demeanor, imposing.

it surpasses all boundaries.

With a roll of his eyes,

he turns his body to face mine.

I stare at him

Disbelief

Those deep feelings

For what I have

I turn,

let my hands fall in my lap.

He watches me

And I see

his half grin

his face

his hair

creepy as it sounds.

It's all so bizarre.

But I'm too late.

Only four years.

And there was nothing.

I was afraid to feel.

[teddythepoet]

At this,

I snort.

"Meaning?"

"I'm horny."

A shrug.

"Whoah."

making

me

recoil.

I push him away.

Stand up.

"I'll leave you to it, then."

"No! Stop! Just.. sit down."

I don't have time for it.

Remember?

He doesn't want to tell

So

He

Lies

He can't trick me.

I've known him

Far

Too

Long.

"Any questions?"

I nod,

"Do

you

l

o

v

e

m

e?"

He

never

will.

[teddythepoet]

"Would you eat this?

I wouldn't. "

He yanks the camera away from me.

"On the count of three, smile for the camera!"

He snarls.

"One. Twoo.. Three."

I have to.

First bite.

Gag a little.

Keep going.

I sneak little peeks.

Struggle to.

Ram into him.

In the end,

his eyes light up.

Is it over?

Hesitantly peeking over.

His face, concealed by his arms.

I can see.

We

Are

Sick.

Snapping back.

"You are so gross."

Shoot a glance across the table.

Doing something stupid.

Embarrassment that none of us

Feel

After a few minutes

Groaning & turning.

He pushes the off button.

I fall onto the bed.

Turn onto my side.

The bed shifts beside me.

"I'm sorry, [REDACTED]."

"Its fine", I say.

Got a good scrub-down.

"You don't look so good.

Good thing, too.

Wouldn't want ya ta leave."

I turn over & watch.

If it wasn't for his fondness for me,

I would've made

leaps & bounds

to leave.

He keeps me grounded.

Tonight is Truth or Dare.

"[REDACTED], darling,

You know,

it kind of looks like

things could get

pretty

risqué."

[teddythepoet]

There are three things one should know.

1. Just don't eat it.

Whines

Her hand.

I laugh a little, thinking about

Her jawline.

I can eat all of it.

2. Ignoring is

Slimy

and very

Poisonous.

"[REDACTED] darling, could ya show the camera how devastatingly disgusting you look?"

"[REDACTED], darling", I mumble.

I scoot forward.

3. It looks the same way that it will when it comes back up.

[teddythepoet]

We're Here

I know

A devilish grin

I tip my head sideways

His eyes glint

"Whatever I want?

That's Disgusting."

He's mine

Ew

"You're going to film it, aren't you?"

You guys & your secret.

I got over it.

His life hadn't

been

inviting

People cocoon.

Covering & kicking.

Making odd things.

I can already tell this won't end well.

Just the thought of being consumed is enough to make me gag.

"Oh, please don't eat me."

I frown.

This?

Comedy gold.

it is all dark

And I know

he would sacrifice me too

He

almost

used

me

up

I was ready to run away from it all

"You're despicable", I tell him.

Evil.

The red light, glowering in the corner.

Gross.

"I hope this is violent."
