18/Cisgender Male/Netherlands A morbid longing for the picturesque
I yearn for spring so to spring I cling but now fall has arrived and I’ve been deprived of the hot summer sun by constantly trying to run back to when everything was fine back to when my reflection was mine by being stuck in what once was I made happiness a lost cause

Yearning for spring
On winter days I go on walks in the dark I pretend I can leave my body behind and let my soul wander around the empty park when I return I find the roads filled with cars and Christmas lights shining brightly in the trees for a moment I feel like I'm surrounded by stars and I wonder if this is what my brother sees

Winter thoughts
How foolish of me to seek compassion and salvation in this world When it was this world that destroyed my heart Now I pray and wait for the righteous hand of the Lord to soothe my shattered heart and purify my tarnished body.

Salvation
Look at the 8 limbed creature A nightly procedure What was meant to create life Now substitutes a knife The disappearance of the individual Such a cruel ritual

Cruel rituals
My mother doesn’t hug me but I feel her arms around me when she quietly hands me my favourite chocolate bar My mother doesn’t kiss me but I feel her lips on my forehead when she takes care of my injuries My mother doesn’t tell me she loves me but I read it in every “I'm home” text My mother doesn’t ask me much but she notices everything My mother may seem cold to many because her warmth is reserved for me alone

Mother
I will cry with you I will hide your tears I will cling to you I will roll off with ease I will comfort you like no human ever could

Rain
I bleed ink and with my blood I will write I cry when I write I scream when I write For he who does not first bleed will never be able to do it right

The poet’s bloodied hands
Father, am I your strongest soldier? Father, I am unclean Father, will you wash me? Father, please save me

The poet’s prayer
Every touch felt like too much My makeshift love felt so rough I try to kiss but I was never made for this I've always known I was meant to be alone I've always known I'm best on my own I've always known in every single bone

On aromanticism
Autumn is when I feel less alone than other times For when the leaves are brown and the sky is grey I feel as though my dark soul is mocked less by the cruel sunlight And I can be dark and melancholy together with nature - Wyatt St. Dymphna
