1.
mouther 04:53
it crept in slowly, i felt it touch me right above my knee. i'm afraid to speak, what will come out of me? i guess we'll wait and see. it crawled out of me through my fingertips. one by one they split open. written as opposed to spoken through your mouth they come in tasteless and paper thin hidden beneath your skin
2.
something holding me back less than half an inch of glass in the dark spot of my face: empty chairs, people pass, crumpled notes kicked around by drafts. (my) legs grow longer, hair grows longer in the dark spot of this place at the right time, in the wrong place
3.
it/again 03:15
the whole night the entire time you were in my mind but it was by my side its trouble to make out the shape of your face in the dark every time you leave i just want to speak harsh and freely something opening i stumble to say, pointing out the space around the thing in the dark you'll be far but you're still here
4.
left/felt 03:20
i hope you left with a smile on your face i hope you felt like diamonds in a case i saw a ghost it hovered low i watched it's slow glide i saw right through it but i couldn't believe my eyes the air grew cold, so I grabbed my coat just in case it snowed in fucking July.
5.
wet dream 02:11
i felt for you holding my belt, your hands i seek. antsy in my wet sleep. i weep and try to come when you come but its all over too soon. something tells me deep inside that you're not one to prove something you feel deep inside. I'm all over you, bits and pieces speckled white.
6.
your heart lives in your head and when you're dead the eyes they sink into the skull to get a glimpse of what hurts the most and what they found is not a brain just some coagulated vein whats wrong? whats gone? whats strong? the only thing to ask yourself is how you feel or how you felt the moment it crawled inside your head through your mouth or in your bed
7.
you seemed so surprised that i would wake up so early and spend so much time watching you sleep "just as long as you're here with me." you changed your mind and now i'm feeling surly. spending so much time going to sleep because you're always in my dreams.
8.
lullaby 01:56
{wishing you the sweetest of dreams}
9.
dusty 04:03
covering my eyes, feeling my size shrink to the smallest thing in the world. i was swept up like dust. i felt trust, or was it lust? it comes up often enough, i might as well let it rust. i can't help how i felt. swirling around, see me dance in the sun. i am part of you, or at least i was. something's gone from my brain, or my heart, they are the same lately but i'm working on it. basically i've got it down. if you want to dust me off, just call i should be around. glowing in the sky, you will ask me, "why?" no one will be there.

about

"After 30 minutes:
6} The skin gets purple and waxy
7} The lips, finger- and toe nails fade to a pale color or turn white as the blood leaves.
8} Blood pools at the lowest parts of the body leaving a dark purple-black stain called lividity
9} The hands and feet turn blue
10} The eyes start to sink into the skull"
