i remember us
huddled into blankets
the tuff rubbing into our tender cheeks
swallowing us
whole.
i remember us
hushed whispers
delicate, shy
touches that spoke one thousand words too many
us
in the midst of the night
when the moon
at
up
looks
i remember u.

singed cigarettes beneath my palms,
radiant flashes of everything wrong,
fingers stretched towards the light.
craning,
reaching,
desperate for a flight.
blood pulsing, high, swimming in adrenaline.
no one knows how desperate we were
back then.

your lips drip
full of sweet nectar
to lure me into
your wasteful,
rotting
heart.

i am chipped porcelain,
once valued
now worn.
body drawn taut,
relief no longer found
it'd be useless to
fill these crevices,
broken flaws,
with your
gold.

the swaddled blanket
we've
so carefully
interwoven
safe,
warm,
intimate
has been
taken apart
by your hands.

i look up
and see a world
far greater than
the one i'm in,
billions of bright lights,
that call to me
and say that i'm not alone,
i rise up to them
as if gravity ceased to exist,
and i dance with them
and give glory to their creator,
this world is mine
though i am not of it,
these clusters of stars
and galaxies
bring me more joy
than the hell that
the world i belong to brings,
the celestial beings embrace me
and allow me to finally see
the beauty that's around me,
even if it's far away.

we broke each other
so much
that we couldn't see the
remnants that we
once
loved.

i came to this website a little over a year ago
seeking for redemption
seeking for forgiveness
seeking for reflection.
it was only until i gave myself a good look
a good look of my words
to see how broken
and misplaced i was
in the world of dreams and
in the universe of open eyes.
i'd like to say thank you
for the beautiful words each
poet has ever written,
for the support and understanding
of my pieces,
for the healing i never thought i
needed.
thank you for always being a welcome place that i go back to
and feel just the same amount of home within my heart
every time i do.

it's like i need to ask,
as if my brain needed permission,
to be away from all my sins—
to request for rest that can't be given.
