Another Take
My therapist is glad we’re
not together…
On Sacrifice
I drink the dark.
To reflect your light.
On Feeling
The sun shrank
’til it was invisible…
New
Keep it together.
Maybe even tape…
Toxic
The cigarette smoke
Is like you.
Ritual
But her smile— like the pink tulips
In Spring…
Cheapened Self
Suspend time—I felt his reality
And he, mine.
On Blooming
Because only you
Breathe new life.
A Lesson
It hurts as much as it did
When the first time…
Simple Things
You and I
We could be something…
Un-erased
My lungs get heavier each time.
But I know we can't go back…
On Withering
I begin to wonder if
This is how your hopes fell…
Acrophobia
In the two years
That I dated her…
Being Enough
I like a girl.
And I like a boy.
Perspective
Five odd letters strung
To make two syllables.
Why I Fight
But you and I,
We will always fight
On Staying
Even with your back towards me,
I follow you,
The End
40+ hours.
Grasp, bite, thrust.
Wasted Years
I couldn't do it, I tried.
I really did.
Thee
I want to lie in your lap again
Because baby you were my safe haven
