I woke up suspended from the ceiling with the taste of your lips on mine.
When I turned there was a little girl outside the window blowing kaleidoscope bubbles that grew into clouds. Her eyes met mine and she mouthed the word forgiveness but I couldn't understand. So I watched her absorb the sun until she was too bright to look at.
Last night I fell asleep to recycled concepts like pride sewn into the front pockets of my heart. By the time we said goodbye we'd shed more than smalltalk and pretensions and your sleeves had woven themselves around my neck in impossible aspirations.
'Did you know you smell like strawberries and heartache?'
No, but I never liked the taste of sand.
You tell me you could get used to the pain of melted wax the way my eyes pierce through you like lighted candles. But what happens when the flame dies out?
When you left I stood staring at the door, imagining rivers of acid falling from the sky, clover shaped bruises flowering between your hands and my waist. I saw five inches of linoleum and what kept us apart, and even then I couldn't create a solution. I spent the night with shadows and they taught me how to fly, but if you asked I still wouldn't lean over the railing.
This morning I thought if he was the medical condition, then you must be the cure. But logic stopped existing between four leafed apologies and staged confessions. I want to tie silk ribbons around us and kiss your cheekbones, but the truth is I'm contagious, and I'm sorry and I can't.
I woke up from insomnia and I still don't understand us.

losing everything i never had
it's an early morning as the sun is rising, stepping into my mother's room and moving towards her bed, careful not to disturb the dark shadows on the walls, or the lulling silence that's filling the steps between us, i ask her when she wearily opens her eyes, "why was i born?"
her face held no expression, and she didn't reply
she didn't reply
i might as well not have gotten out of bed today.
i might as well be -

and sometimes as i'm sitting in the passenger seat, i lose track of where i'm headed. i lose track of the fact that i'm moving, i'm moving somewhere slowly across a map. i'm moving with the world, and i'm just one person o

You and I,
we're a stunted little paragraph blowing in the wind,
full of maybes and we could have beens.
We're winter nights dancing through the sky,
dreaming of warmth and summer, burntskin sunscreen.
We're fruits hanging from a tree,
ripe with promise and fearing bitter seeds.
We're dripping photographs in darkrooms waiting to become something beautiful.
You and I, we're not fancy like fireworks. Sparks
are the little lights that dance between us when we smile.
Sparks are private things and they shine more prettily
when no one else can see them except you and me.
So when I write poetry about us,
it won't be about mountains and kisses

I wrote a letter and buried it in the dirt. I wrote it for the tree's unraveling roots- just wanted to let them know that sometimes being awake isn't enough. I needed them to know that my mind is based on a story about a broken hand, and what goes on in my brain is not a rush of words, but rather a headache of loud sounds. and speaking is nothing more than these sounds falling out through my teeth. I needed to stop dreaming about losing my head and floating away. so this is me finalizing all things, saying I know I'm on the right track when I'm tied down and a train is coming. this is me screaming into a telephone, whispering that I'm scared

I don't know... It was 2 a.m. and my thoughts didn't make much sense mixed with lack of sleep and loud music, I found logic to it after I read it a few times. Hopefully you do too?
