I thought Orpheus foolish
and lovingly blind,
unable to resist temptation-
until you were mine

Now I am Orpheus
determined and wild
to ensure your safety
even if it brings us demise

I can’t bear to lose
I can’t help but look
another poem inspired by Edwin & Charles from Dead Boy Detectives

We were alone
till Death made us part
of each other
Death came for us
too soon
and yet,
won’t bother
leaving us alone

So we are running
for a chance
to stay

Now Death may come for us
but it was worth it from the start.
Because we won’t be alone
till Death do us part
inspired by Edwin & Charles from Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

do you ever dream
of a dream
come true?
only attainable
in the most
unimaginable of ways

oh i dream

i dream
of dreams
i know
to never come true
except when i imagine
anything to be
possible

oh my dream

unreachable dreams
forever locked away
kept safe
from horrifying truths
only reachable
in a world that’s
kind

oh i dream
my dream
of kindness
all around
choose kindness

to love is to lose
but not before
you’ve gained
what you could never
dream of
love is a losing game?

going going
never time
to stop
and rest

i must perform
i must oblige
i must keep going
and going

taking time off
to take my mind off
of all the things to do
as soon as time’s up

i have to function
so the guilt
of underperforming
doesn’t consume me
it's capitalism innit

i love
i always have
fiercely
fearlessly
i love

i love
everyday things
paltry
significantly
i love

i love
people
places
things
and spaces
in between

i love
with all my heart
wholly
fully
i love

i love
and always will
utterly
subtly
i love
my love, mine all mine

and now i am Atlas
shouldering the weight of the past
all on my own
