Florence Catan Dec 2017
one drop of hesitation
one splash of doubt
one ripple of self-loathing
one wave of frustration
one tsunami of anxiety

and there i am.
drowing.
searching for
my sweet escape

cura te ipsum,
Florence.
i had a real **** day.

shoutout to hokusai.

i thought about making this one a recipe where i'd add pinches of misery and hopelessness but this felt a little better?

i don't want you back,
silly.
i want me back.

cura te ipsum,
Florence.
lost, but seeking
Florence Catan Jul 2017
i left my home in Alabama,
cursive I wrote,
in curses I spoke,
making the same mistakes
of turning to quill
to appease my aches.

an ocean ablaze
unquenchable by ink
still caught in a haze
just let me sink.

sitting at the edge of the Quay,
watching my heart just burn away.

cura te ipsum,
Florence
