I'm not really a poet but let's just see how this goes, shall we?
I am damp spots, I am difficulty breathing, I am drinking alone in the middle of the day, I am bent book spines, wonky teeth, just a little bit chubby with no ***** I am mice nibbling at my toes, fast food over home cooked meals, envy over normaly, and solace in art. I am crying for nothing and everything at all. I am music none of my friends like and I am fluccuating between comfort eating and not eating at all. I have grown up I have changed. I am ambition and grown up relationships and jobs. I am nostalgic and sad and I am drunk.

Childhood (and unexpected drunken nostalgia for the things I hate)
I wished you good morning and you wished me good night. Thousands of miles away, But both sleepy eyed. I like to think I send you kisses with the sun when it goes, And I swear I feel your lips From the moon's silver glow.

Time Difference
My double bed is bigger than normal tonight. Cushiony expanses of miles, the stretching white, Like the miles I’ll remember in tomorrow’s light.

Miles Apart
Morning and evening, Pretty girl, I've watched you cry, Subject to this Goblin world That made you scared to try. I hope you know that you're the sweetest fruit Anyone could hope to buy, And you've grown up on the strongest branch, That lifts you close up to the sky. My dearest little sister, Please don't fear the dawning of each day. I hope you know that I'll be there, to hold your hand all the way. For there is no friend like a sister, And your friend I'll always stay.

How did I ever find you when you're so far away?

Distance
I furiously scrub, and sweep, and spray, as though I could wipe it out from 90 miles away.

Neat Freak.
I don’t know how I managed to stay so strong. that desire for red, for torn flesh, that used to possess me in my early teens never won. But oh god, it’s times like this that all my old thirsts come flooding back. Right now all I want to see through my blurred vision is blood, and lots of it. How I haven’t succumbed and drowned in crimson remains a mystery even to me.

He loves me We stayed up talking until 6AM He loves me not You called me by her name again He loves me You made promises I thought you might keep He loves me not Your face interrupted another night's sleep He loves me You phoned and said you'd waited in the rain for me He loves me not Then told me I was cold and ignored me completely He loves me Apparently even pretty flowers can be lying little *****

"So, where do I fit in in your life?" You want to know where you fit in? You're every meal I didn't eat in the hope that those missing calories would make you miss me. You're every coffee I buy from your favourite coffee shop and every point on my loyalty card that I'll never spend. You're every walk back home that I craned my neck in the hopes of catching a glimpse of you only to be disappointed. You're every time someone lit up a cigarette near by and I breathed it in because even though I hate the smell it's still your smell. You're every awkward silence on the phone or in the street in which I tried my hardest to be funny or cool but never was. You're every time I drunkenly cried in a bathroom and I didn't even know why. You're every time I rolled my eyes at your name because I didn't know how else to react without letting them all know what they already knew. You're every party we were both invited to that I would spend wondering whether or not you'd come or if you did, whether you'd chose to talk to me or not. You're every time I knew I shouldn't think about you, or write about you, or kiss you, or even talk to you, but I did it anyway. So there, that's where you fit in. In all the places and in all the ways that continue to fit into my days even though you yourself don't fit in them anymore. "Uh, I don't know. What kind of a question is that anyway?"

Where You Fit In.
How did such a destructive force force my hands to create?
