16/F/US Visceral verse on the anatomy of yearning. Poetic conversationalism in a hauntingly vulnerable and lyrical diary entry. Writing through the decay to find what's human underneath. / Pinterest: emipoetry
Message: delivered Time: 5 minutes Last online: 30 seconds Response: none Your messages don't lack Enthusiasm But there are other signs Of your distance Your smile is still the same Bright But you look away Too quickly The days stretch between Conversations Our threads are Pulling thin I miss you, but you're not Gone You're still here And that hurts more

I feel you slipping Since you're no longer desperate You have a cushion to fall Your best friend is back And I'm jealous of it all I'm a terrible friend Because I want to be one I'm covetous and selfish It feels like the snake has won I can see you leaving The door's still yet to close But you're already outside Ready to leave me behind I'm never someone's best Just a call when things get rough Now, what happens when It's my life that gets tough It's a melancholic ache Whenever you're around I beg you not to leave But my mouth won't make a sound

Left On Delivered
You are the staple to my files The sewing of my skin The piercing of my flesh To hold what lies within You are the nails to my painting The stinger to my bee And when you were pulled out I was left to bleed You are the barbs to my fence The pin in my clothes The anchor to a rope And thorns under my rose You are sharp and cruel But without you, I crumble My threads all unravel And are left in a jumble

Obligate Commensalism
I'm very useful Just wait - you'll see I need your approval Please, I plea I swear that I'm vital I'll present my case You'll want my survival So please just sustain Me Somehow, suddenly I'm a specialist in The Blue-Booted Bee Who's going extinct They look super neat But don't really do much Their buzzing a treat But they're sharp to the touch You are my funding As I try to convince You to care about my Specialty Before I have to Rededicate to another Declining species

Blue-Booted Buzzing Bee
When does vanity Bleed into betterment And feeling bad Start to feel good Fasting is fine when Erasing your waist Now you like the hunger More than the taste It's an eating disorder Until you're an expert Then it's a miracle Admirable effort Staring in a mirror Narcissism at its peak But now your face is slim And your body "tea" We chide girls for vanity But praise every change Into a "better you" Adding fuel to their hate

Not an ED if it works
You made me who I am today Carefully shaped my cells Of personality to ensure Perfection You make up all of me Yet to you, I am just A tumor on your Shoulder You are all of me And I am none of you Creator and creation; A mistake you can't undo

Tumor
In my stomach sometimes When I think too much But also in my head When I cry too hard Say "ahh" My teeth rip apart And a wail escapes me As the doc takes a light To check my uvula A tiny tin hammer Knocks my knee once Twice Thrice And I kick like I'm Supposed to A flash tickles my ears As the doc inspects for Elephants and The like A cold stethoscope is Pressed against my heart Which shudders and retreats But the doc says nothing I leave the office With a sticky note "All good :)" And $500 fee Of inconvenience I swear something's broken But the x-ray came out clear I need something fixed But the doctor says I'm fine I've been fine All my life Every machine says so So I repeat it as well And when others ask "What's the matter?" All I can say is "Nothing"

Where Does it Hurt?
I still see you sometimes You creep into a memory Like fog over water I can find you everywhere When I catch a glimpse Of red hair Or similar glasses At the store And how strange is it That I have to mourn Someone who's still Alive

The Death of Us
I'm sorry But that doesn't fix anything I'm sorry Yet nothing is better I'm sorry But you still hate me I'm sorry And I cry at night I'm sorry And I've told you once I'm sorry I've told you twice I'm sorry I've said a million times I'm sorry But nothing is right I'm sorry And the numbers are mounting I'm sorry And it's losing its meaning I'm sorry But I'm not sure what for I'm sorry All of the time And I'm sorry That I'm not sorry more

Sorry
You are my friend And I'm sorry Because it's Cruel of me To subject you To this You are my friend And I apologize This is a fate I wouldn't wish Upon anyone You are my friend And I hope you Don't agree With this all But if I know myself And I know you I think I know That you do You are my friend And I love us But you should run While there's still Time Before I ruin everything Before this love ferments Before I send texts I can't unsend Please leave I love you But by now I should know That's a curse Please leave Because I don't Want you To hurt
