Artemis Nov 2020
there is an infinity to us
the space between our lips
or the time between kisses

my love for you has no boundaries
no planet or galaxy or
universe
could hold us in place

and we can be a moment in time
and we could be nothing
but nebulas
clouds of stars and ice

and when we burst
imploding and exploding
we will make the gods cry
in the beauty of us

and stardust

and infinity
Artemis May 2020
i'm not being hurt
i'm not in any real pain

but i can't stop feeling this
hollowness

i think i'm broken or something.
Artemis May 2020
I slip in and out of my own mind
and often enough
I get caught in the empty spaces
between my thoughts
and sometimes it is peaceful
that moment of quiet
but when I find myself stuck
in that nothingness
and that silence
there is a stillness that I cannot outrun
and it is cold
and empty.

and then I remember
that feeling anything
is better than this
Artemis Apr 2020
It took me a long time
(too long)
to realize

that my body is not owed to anyone

that love is something i shouldn't have to earn

that i don't need to apologize for my pain
and my past
and all the broken bits of me.

i owe nothing
to anyone
but,
perhaps,
myself.

My jaw aches after I cry.

I thought it was a genetic thing.
But my mom made me realize I’m actually clenching it.

It’s weird how you hurt yourself without even noticing.
Artemis Dec 2019
I fell apart again.

only this time you weren't here
to pick up the pieces.

my stitches ripped
and I've had to very slowly learn
to thread the needle
and sew myself together

piece
by
piece.

I'd like to thank you
for teaching me the hard way

how to love myself anew
  
without you
Artemis Nov 2019
And iron coating across my tongue
and a poisonous addiction

to all the pain you’ve caused me.

I have nowhere else to go,
and nothing left to loose.

(I should say myself
but I lost that many tears ago)
This is an old story, from many years ago, I’m okay now
