Call it what you will.
Oh, no one seeks a partner with a beautiful mind. / It is all beautiful bodies and ***** / A girl with no other options seems to be what I'll find,

Days
I tend to lose days when my eyes stick, ****** Haze, I couldn't tell you the last meal I ate, or how many hours I've been awake, just that the days and nights have been a passing phase, no more than light change, I've always been a night owl anyway. / See my life started spiralling when she died and I cried hard enough, but not for as long as I need and now my heart is barely beating unless my lips are pointed at fire, and sometimes the flames are men 13 years older, sometimes the flames are tips of cigarettes and my own arm because I'm manic and driving and I'll barely feel it. / I feel nothing and everything all at once.

Brontide (a sestina)
(n.) The low rumble of distant thunder / The sky soon shall shed its tears, / I sit outside I have no fear.

Illusions
Warm. / Your warm body, an exact mirror copy of your plump lips that kiss my mouth, I lay my head upon your chest, thighs, back, shoulder, any area where I believe I could sink into you and become enveloped in your supple, sweet, indulgent body. / Your body was the first I felt comfortable in. Your body is the only body I feel safe in. When I crawl into my place in the corner of your shoulder and your chest I hear your heartbeat slow, and I feel your breathing pace but when your arm grazes my shoulder my heart races and I do not know why.

Trauma
Trauma / Blunt force trauma / a blow to my psyche from your hammer of hands who pounded into my mind making me fear your preconceived ideas of my undying faith to your never ever loving thoughts about my, then, innocence. so many times-

My Greatest Condolences
My greatest condolences to the woman who loves me. / My body fears your love of me and constantly repeats the mantra of you leaving but you seem to stand even closer when I break. You tell me every time you aren't going anywhere but the pure unfamiliarity is because you, are the single thing I have ever loved, and never hated. / My greatest condolences, because I'm hard to love.

Bird Song
**** every person who ever said "don't romanticize self harm" / **** every person who just stared and never asked how I was / And **** those friends who never helped, who never even cared to bring it up when I gave myself stitches in their ******* bathrooms.

The first time I wrote about you, I thought you would think it was romantic, I thought you would appreciate all the time I thought of you. / The second, I realized you weren't here for romance or flowers or kisses on the porch. / The third, I wished you were.

Love and Lack There of
I heard the other day that love doesn't exist. / I was livid and spoke sour of their words, / as if 'I love you' was something I usually heard.

Death
What is 'death'? / The stopping of a heart? / The loss of activity in the brain?
