When you said
you needed space,
you meant more
between your fingers,
so you could hold
someone else's hand.

you're never hopeless

you tell me you feel hopeless as you talk with tired eyes- the sky drips with black pen ink poured on crystal cosmic lights your eyes become black vacuums- your words turn to somber sighs, and I ask you: on the darkest of nights, have you ever seen a starless sky?

You said....

You told me “friends forever”, More like ‘friends for now’, As your sweet promises Were just lies I allowed. You said “we are best friends”, More like ‘friends at best’, As your solid affirmations Were all digressed. You told me “I need you” More like ‘you need me’ As your statements Were my last plea. Why did you go? Why did you leave? I’m left here all alone Trying, in us, to believe.

it's okay to not be okay

sometimes it’s okay to sit on the floor of the bathroom stall and let your feelings gather- it’s okay to let them pool like a lachrymose lagoon as the inside of your stomach does summersaults; I know these emotions can’t be tenderly released, they’re not soft waves kissing the expecting shore, let them pour out of you like tidal waves- release the tsunami from within you and I know sometimes the tears will sodden your pillowcase, they’ll be juggernauts- those brackish beads cathartically-cartwheeling down your flushed cheeks; but remember how even the clouds may cry tempestuously today, only to make room for m

Your feelings are valid

I once read that a teaspoon of matter from a black hole can weigh thousands of tons upon Earth so think about that when someone tells you your problem is no big deal for it may not look like you have the weight of the world upon your shoulders but it sure can feel like it.

Feeding Time...

Feeding Time at the Sultan's Menagerie My mother is a hyena and when the men come to feed us she makes a terrible noise that I can hear even from across the zoo, but they think it is laughter and they don't know that it is her saying the same thing she always does: "More, more! Why isn't there more?" She cannot help herself; She is a scavenger. When I was born, she picked me up in jaws that can crush an elephant femur and for a second, the keepers that watched her held their breath, thinking she was about to eat me. Somehow I was spared and even the poison of her saliva, the festering bacteria that kills days later, only

because i'm like a relapse (of you or youth)

baby blues cannot cure suicide agendas. all these poets do is wither, wither, waste - decomposing bones just enough to trade them in for words & kill them cell by cell & conversations bloom between my tongue & teeth or two choice vertebrae; thoughts burst like blood vessels, like self disgust (i am more catatonic than i am catastrophic).

Once within the barriers of Boreas, the temperature ware warm enough to permit the merchant to leave the carriages. Tania opened the door, first blinded by the strong reflection of the ice, a marvellous landscape appeared before her eyes. Between the mountain was this huge city, the protective shield was actually all made in ice; like sculpted by the snowflake and frost with subtil patterns. The floor, plants, decorations, even benches and lights were made of ice. The houses themselves were made of white stones, like those castles from the old Human legends Isabelle often told Tania. When she took her first step on the frozen ground, Tania s
