Hello! My name is Taylor but I go by multiple names including Teeler, Kitten, etc. I don't do much in the art industry but my journal is full of the many poems I write and if you'd like to check them out go ahead!
I want to take it away
To wrap my warmth around your cold aching bones
To kiss your tears away
To pull the darkness from your golden heart
There are times when I close my eyes
And I wish as hard as I can
And I focus on the abundance of love that fills my body
And I trick myself into thinking
That maybe it could work
But when my shaking hand
Reaches to hold yours
It's still there
That smooth
Cold
Hard
Screen
And when my fingers slide down it
My lungs deflate
And I remember I'm useless
That I still can't do
Anything.
These four white walls surround me
They box me in
Restrict my movement
But they're peaceful
I'm content
I talk to these walls
Flowers flow from my mouth
Filling the space with lovely conversation
But every time I open my mouth
The walls
Fade darker
Until one day they go dark
"I'm sorry"
As they start to crumble
Collapsing around me
"I'm sorry"
As they fall to the ground
Leaving me in a big empty space
Of nothing.
"I'm sorry"
My fingers run over the raised lines on my arm
It's hard to breath
The tears not quite reaching my eyes
A shaky sigh escapes my lips
As I yearn for your touch
The sting
The blood
The pleasure
My world grows dark
My calls for you growing more desperate
I need you
I'm addicted
The pain feels good
It makes me feel
Like I can be alive for another day
That I've punished myself enough
To not have to go
And I eventually give in
Shakily unscrewing you from your place
Gripping tightly and gliding you over smooth pale skin
Another line of disappointment
Of shame
Of hate.
