the glass slipper fit you perfectly, but you've stepped so hard it shattered,
and your feet bled every step you took in your castle also made of glass-
but you never noticed the footprints you left behind.
the prince constantly watches the princess and she never knows, she can't see outside.
she lives in her mind and craves for a soul to also live there, but her mouth stays closed, as does her mind.
yet the castle with walls made of flesh she imagines herself hiding behind is still made of glass
it only goes one way, it is a one-way mirror, because she can only see herself.

lying to people, even though
i dont have to
crying about it, even so
i cant stop it
i am a fly attracted to trash,
there's food that smells good.
you were a spider, web provider;
i need you, go away.
incoherence, misunderstanding-
im hungry again.
insolence, mistakes were made tonight:
choke down a meal for them.
i met her at an art gallery
fingers to the base
an exhibition, negative space
get it out of me
we shook hands, and you gave me a hug
disgusting, filthy
i'm sorry i can't hold you close by
crawling little bug
im shredding old tshirts, overworn
rip tear rip tear rip
hold the scissors firm or they might slip
cutting yourself down
i gave a bear a hug, he smiled
please stop hurting me
i made a home for a little bee
and yet i cant stop
cant bring myself to care again, but
im telling a story.
nevertheless, today's gone once more-
on every second line.
stability is fleeting
and so is my ability to be bothered punctuating anything.
