And how do I keep inhaling when the air has vacated my chest?
With memories that use up all the time that I invest
Banished like pests from the house I used to inhabit
No longer within reach like the rest of my bad habits
To think what you did this for unable to find a reason
Only blank spaces stand to justify your treason
What pain I am composed of
Fear constructs my skin
Until new experiences are made
Old ones sink further in
Again and again play movies in my mind
History home to me so I constantly rewind
I continue living though it's just a waste
Adventures await but I can't seem to make haste
If only I could control these dire thoughts
With your presence gone happiness rots
Seeking solace in words spilled onto page
Anticipating the key that will unlock my cage
The mystery remains as to the force driving you to go
Perhaps even you yourself don't know
Written 2-26-21
I wish for a time machine
Like to go back and wipe slates clean
The pain I would erase or at least transplant
Hurts me because I know I can't
I try accepting the way things are
Missing you safely from afar
Last summer was attached to your hip
I longed to spend every day in your grip
I'm happy you finally got what you wanted
Don't feel like it's really the treasure you hunted
My sadness my only company
Prefer the dark because then I can't see
Heart and how brokenly bruised it beats now
Happiness beautiful if you know how
To dance in the rain embracing shame
Love to me is a ******-up game
It is unknown the length of time it will hurt
Looking for saltwater stains on my shirt
I can't find proof of my sorrow
I believe a weight will lift tomorrow
I can tell suffering will soon end
Every moment a step closer til I mend
No shortcut to bliss and a calm state
We are born bawling
An inevitable fate
And die without warning
Cruel final blow
Putting end to everything we know
I'd rather feel icy touch
Than absence of your fingers
Despair
Disappointment clutched
Fear
Traces linger
Fatigue
Constant stress
And everything else we despised
I'd rather feel these than nothing I guess
Pain better than desolation disguised
You dragged me down darkened road
Threat of danger was a low-pitched hum
Senses burning seared and slowed
Rather feel the fire than be numb
Perceiving nerves stretch with agony
All I do is survive
Prefer ache over dull monotony
It proves that I'm still alive
Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Smoking myself crazy
In the wind hear your voice
If truly making you happy
I support your choice
I love her loving you
Embrace and sharp cold words
Fear not you moving on
But not moving forwards
For all we have been through
Turns and coils my distress
A mind ferocious and primal
Tamed by loneliness
All the thoughts go unsaid
Linger in air
If only each one could be gathered
Carried away somewhere
Written 2-26-21
I decided to write
One last time
With icicles of ink
Sharpened words,
That slowly disperse
Every mean word said to me
I write
And I write
Every heartbreak
I let it flee with no fight
No tears,
Just raindrops,
No chills down my spine,
My heart devoid of fear
I take icicles of ink
I shove it in my heart
The words do not pierce,
They bleed from my pocket,
They spill,
Raw,
And pure
No frostbites
No frozen tears.
Do you realize how much you mean to me?
A genuine smile on your face all I want to see
Near to my heart hold the image of your face
It's one piece of you impossible to erase
Every moment we spend together helps carry me through
Lucky to have somebody in my life as special as you
An acrostic I wrote my boyfriend for Valentine's Day
I'm thinking of way things were
Words you used to say
Shimmer of hope in your eye
Details never went away
I marveled at brilliance
The most beautiful scenes
Raised to every occasion
Glass to toast our dreams
Two hearts grew united
Midnight confessions
Relish the intimacy shared
Secure in impressions
I am left only memories
Imagination leaping wild
Magic carpet is out of control
Pulling back to days we both smiled
To moments
Cherish the most
Syrupy and sour intertwine
Into history etched forever
Stone with fading lines
Very isolated I have been
Fitting you are unaware
Roots thrive while mine are dying
One way you show you don't care
Two courses separated suddenly
Words I am desperate to hear
Deep down know you don't feel the same
The only thing that's clear
