I only feel safe with you,
in your bed and under your sheets,
in your arms listening to your heart beat
I am drowning when I am home alone,
I am so scared of myself and my malignant intentions,
Things that to you, I never wish to mention
I am ashamed of these thoughts,
the ones that sadly calms my head,
the ones in which I am always dead
But then I get to see you again,
and my heart swells so full and beats so fast,
I look into your eyes and my fears crash
But I cannot be with you constantly,
So I sink into you for a moment as these feelings begin to return,
And those feelings are the ones that truly burn

is to write about my dying mother,
perhaps as damage control to help
begin to heal the gaping wound
that she will leave
behind with me

"take it day by day" they say,
but how can I do that when
some days are so beautiful,
with the sunshine upon my face
& the grass between my fingers.
but how can I do that when
some days the rug is pulled from under me,
with broken hands desperately reaching
& nothing to grab ahold of to steady me.
some days I drown and some days I swim,
but most days I just want to stay in.

you tell me you wish to develop cancer
I hate you for saying that
my mother is dying from brain cancer
and you have the audacity
to say you wish the same for yourself
I pray to any higher being
that you learn how much
you've hurt me for saying that

My father is 54
My mother will be 55
My brother is 21
My father cannot lift over 30 lbs without dropping dead
My mother cannot lift herself from her bed
My father can only survive on an array of medications
My mother survives by the grace of Adonai and Radiation
My brother wants to **** himself
with a gun he says one day he will get a license
I beg him to stay with me, I try to talk some sense
My father can no longer do the things that he loves
My mother can no longer do most things in general
My brother's misery is congenital
I beg them to stay with me but can only do so much
God has turned his back on us

Two to Five years they're saying
and god only knows that
I cannot live without my Mother's love

"I'm treading carefully" you say
with lips that touch mine so sweetly
like warm chamomile that heats my body
A fire is meant to be kindled
and here you are stoking the flames
slowly and gently but
you swear you can't do it
that you're still too damaged
And so my flames die out and I wonder
is it worth trying to keep my fire
when we both know that
neither of us are able to nurture it
especially not right now
But one day I want you
to come and see if we can light it again

My world has come crashing down on top of me
like the Eastern front of Belarus
where the Nazis took so much
where they massacred my family
I've worked so hard all these years
just for fate to decide that I'm unworthy
of any type of love or safety
I am now being burned inside my own home
I can hear laughing outside
My family always told me how scared they were
that I would be alone in this world
that they would never see me happy
Unfortunately the oracle was right

It came to me again the other day & sprawled itself across my skin,
trembling like a Richter Scale,
The Great Valdivia Earthquake,
blurred my vision,
slicked my tongue,
sharpened my teeth,
I felt it give out beneath my feet.

I know that you hurt for I hurt for you,
and I know the pain in your bones that you feel,
heavy, like lead sinking under the layers of an ocean.
It's an awful feeling,
the feelings we feel but this pain,
your pain,
it makes life real.
And I know you won't believe me when I say,
that the dull ache in your body will fade,
and you will wake up with butterflies fluttering in your lungs,
and you will breathe in the music that life sings for you.
Stay strong for the world would miss you if you left it.
