breaking glass

a surge of heat
belly of fat
churning meat
darkest black
this is your past
awake as a dance
sweet as a sound
her voice like a glass
thunk of a heater
alarming a bell
the chime of your mind
as it sinks into hell
you try to stay safe
like you try to stay sane
alone as a murmur
lonely's murderous ways
i could die with just
these shadows & i
& my fading memory
of her at my side
you broke she when broke you
leaving you twice
bringing the darkeness
you loved in her eye

black lonely
02:04
|

|
out of the thick, black lonely
to a field of rocks
to a rush of ice
where it unveiled a hot
where you gave a fuck
out of the desolate lushness
where you ate dinner with death
every night choking your food down
every night gripping your head
to the throb of your bed
it was unspeakable
speaking to styrofoam
slipping on icicles
dying to just stay gone
out of the dreaming of insects
only halfway into real
remember the spider beside her
it was you when you looked in the mirror
& saw yourself clear

dark nights

i guess it'll be one of those nights
the moon is black
& my stomach burns
i guess i'm having one of those nights
expanding head
like a flying bird
was it something i said
sent dark messages
showing my flesh like
a defeathered bird
tried to make us
take turns
& my collar burned
pressing into yours
like it was an urn
& i remember these nights
losing sight
the darker it gets
so many nights in these rooms
squealing wheels
vomit on the beds
was it something i said
sent dark messages
one of those nights
i undress from my skin
can the current come
pull me in
one of those nights
your mind
it goes dim

There's Always Glimmer
by Gia Margaret
supported by 5 fans who also own “strange desire to stay gone”
This is thoughtful and melancholy, but not morose -- there is hope in its sheer beauty. Her sensitivity as an arranger and producer is as impressive as her songwriting and singing; the whole album has a lovely sense of texture and space.
