I'm in the Basement, Hiding your Sanity

(1)
Running in a jar, playing with a doll,
Laughing out your blood, singing to be told
That no one likes a zombie.
So I've hidden your alcohol,
And I've taken your friends,
And I've covered all the bruises,
Now I see the ends
Of humanity through my wide kaleidoscope.
"Michael, what're you doing?"
"I'm killing rates, ma!"
They're onto me, I have to break
Their defence by tenfold.
They have no clue what
"Hyperventilating" means to me and why
It breaks me and forces me to cry.
Standing in this desert of unending water
I smell the blood of a killer wold,
Murdered in the light by an innocent sheep,
Whoever said that moths can't bite?

(2)
The blackened eyes of your father
Melt my knees and raises my stubble
To the highlighted moon of Mars.
Some say deceiving is cutting your wrists,
While others just laugh and eat lollies.
Stand taller than the Eiffel Tower,
Be wider than the Atlantic Sea,
Creep stealthier than a ninja,
But talk more like a snail.
Exploding the brain is easy,
Just take away the needs
And leave them with the desire
To die.

(3)
The bed feels like a howl,
And my head tanks out blood.
Wooden structures reverberate
With hopeless anxiety that screams
A child to sleep in their worst dreams.
Blue vein, cold, read vein, hot,
Ice and fire ready to catastrophise my hands.
I dream of wings that will never fly,
Of roses that mutilate into Pokemon,
Of friends who screw holes that don't exist.
Clocks screech to a halt as cataclysmic issues occur.
Tangent or intangible, tangible or detergent,
I wipe my hands on yesterday's malfunctions.
We don't forgive, and we don't forget,
And that's why I am God's fallen angel to hell.

(4)
Beauty and Beast, Keeper of the charm,
Willing to hold you till you can't see straight.
Hide now, all your arms!
Don't forget the legs!
Drooling your want for a better word,
Slobbering your hate of vermin.
Vermin, like venom, are dead to make,
So draw them both in like a mask.
Avril don't got nothing on you, honey.

I'm becoming addicted to the treacle tart smell,

The way your hips sway in the light

Of the moon when it's dark.

I don't want to go, you can't make me,

I'll stay where it's sane, where it's plain,

Where your name doesn't cause pain,

Where black is green and white is purple,

I'll stay here. I'll stay here.

Just don't make me get out of bed anymore...

  • this is the first one of yours i've read, and i like you already.

    favourite bits from each stanza:
    'So I've hidden your alcohol,
    And I've taken your friends,
    And I've covered all the bruises,
    Now I see the ends'
    this sounds really excellent. not that i'm a huge fan of rhyme, but when it's subtle like that i can't resist.

    mentions of lollies and ninjas in the second stanza are just so unbelievably cool i can't even tell you. ^.^

    'We don't forgive, and we don't forget,
    And that's why I am God's fallen angel to hell.' i like the reasoning here

    'Hide now, all your arms!
    Don't forget the legs!' sounds like some sort of... sinister party game.

    'I'll stay where it's sane, where it's plain,
    Where your name doesn't cause pain,
    Where black is green and white is purple,
    I'll stay here. I'll stay here.
    Just don't make me get out of bed anymore...' is pretty much my life of late.

    all in all, i am So Excited to read more from you!

      If any of this is relating to you, that's incredible because this is my mind just SPLAT on a piece of refill.

  • Does muchly like. I especially love that you wrote it in your exam. I have Shakespeare tomorrow... if I can't answer a question, I'm going to write me some slash fic.

      You're planning not to answer the question just to write fanfics, aren't you?
      That's a little sad, lovely.
