NightMARE Crush Quotes

“My nightmare-man comes SO LOUD;
he comes often, bores me and collects
my wrist cuts-
oh he cuts, he cuts, HE CUTS
Promises me I’m in the black book, he checks,
ha! Yes! Top ten mind-fuckable sluts! Cold cuts;
licks his knives and hands me his double tongue
I say, ‘Oh baby, JUST BREATHE’
as I rip out his dreamy lungs. Can’t gaslight
a FiRestARTeR, dragons up my sleeve; alchemy
Now HE can’t wAke up ‘cause my flames
will never leave

until he’s ready to be a dReAm.

“Angels and a demon-
She's in a thousand deserts
drowning in semen
Demons and an angel-
both just wanna hike their skirts;
take turns with the label
Well, bless their checkered hearts...”

I'd wake up

a stranger.

Now the old king's worms are aglow;

not in a good sense,
for their lack of good sense”

“I'm an excellent swimmer but,
I'd become so tired. The void pimped me out
to the nearest whale belly that churned me
and turned me like tricks
on your ocean floor. I said, ha, what's new?
I washed ashore, only after giving my best
dolphin smile and
no fucks”

“Zig-zag reality, how long
can we drown in self deception;
Open the doors of perception...
and we wolves accept and howl, beholden

Cheers to the hungry, lost dogs
I hope you find a home, you know
I hope you get a good bath;
get shined up one day and glow
I used to be a lost dog in gloom
but, I've been a wolf for a while,
returning my hunger to the moon
I don't beg. And I hunt with style”

“I compare my Hellbound-lullaby love
for him
to the time I had sleep paralysis”

“When I was Human

I am just a branch on a tree
but I am also the leaves
I am his cold, cold heart
and my prolonged bitterness
I am every bad apple
and I am also the worm
I am the dirt and the clouds;
every hope-ridden mimosa-sunrise and
every blackout drunk
I am the broken doll
but I am also the careless child
I am every long and creepy hallway and
every poet whoring for madness
The credits are rolling, and lights are on
I am THE END. And the confused crowd
I am every critic and every obsessed fan
I am the stubborn grip and the release
I am taking a moment
to remember when I was human”

that he raped me of my sanity
Joke is... a poet's born unhinged
to report the punchline of society

(Walk the dog or wear the collar...)

-from 'Beholden (Joke is...)”

for being good lil' nightmares;
Drape me in blurs of memes
I buried alive all my double-dares”

My nightmare man comes so loud;

my wrist cuts”

‘cause I’m only pretend-wet
from getting smart-raped”

“I've had my very last crush,
T h a n k Y o u-
enough for this lifetime, yes,
I did my time as your
dream girl.
I woke up underground.
for settling; for just lying there
while you shoveled the dirt-
complaining of the sweat in your eyes.
Now, I'm crazy-cozy
as your nightMARE running
free, as your night runs
on and on and on...

Enough-
I'm ready to d r e a m
a little dream
of m e.”
