running on empty
some people are not meant for this world, and that's okay.

we can't all be winners
This isn't a poem; But it's hard not to miss some people, when you see things that remind you of them, when shows play that remind you of them, when songs stream that remind you of them, of their voice, of how you used to be... I wish things were the same. Maybe they can be the same. Maybe I should stop holding on to memories (but they're all I have).

(If You're Out There, I Swear)
One time I held you with the grip of a lost child and you let me go so swiftly, I realized then that I really don't matter as much as the next lover (I guess I am a bit of a *********

I want to be the one that makes you happy; I know I can never make your eyes light up like that. I want to feel your body against mine, in some perfect rhythm that orchestras can only dream about; I know that someone else will fit your mold better than I can. I yearn to be the one to hold your hand on chilly days set in between autumn and winter; I'm scared that you'll let go again. I want to love you like I never had the chance to; I remember I won't be able to break that threshold. I want you to be mine; I remember that I am always yours.

Sometimes; Others
i want to scream from a mountain top that i am done with everything but i am in a wasteland and there is nothing on the horizon around me and i do not have the strength to get there

four blankets is not enough
i want to start living but more than that i want to stop breathing i want to forget and move on and not be hindered by these weights but they told me anchors are supposed to be good things they told me that i will not be swept into the ocean but they never told me about the tsunamis that crush the foothold and drag you to the bottom and leave you there to die they did not tell me that i would want to be embraced by the earth that will inevitably cover my corpse when i have left my body because i am already dead and there is nothing more and i am done fighting i dont know how to swim any more i dont want to see the sky because the sun is not inviting when it burns my skin and the rain is cold but in the ocean everything is constant and i could use the silence

what do you tell yourself when you know you're inferior i'm surrounded by gods who make art from their pain they can write, draw, sing, pluck strings do they know i'm special? do they know i can carve promises into my thighs with a blade that's been more intimate with me than anyone i know? do they know how much i ******* hurt because there's no outlet for my shame, there's nothing to do when no one wants to love you. what do you tell yourself when you want to give up and there's no more comfort in wrecking yourself

1995-
I am not a Good Person I will tear your heart out and stomp on it, throw it to the dogs let you watch the love drain from your own body I am not a Good Person I will love you and hold you in my hands like a wounded bird and I will fix broken wings before I smash them to pieces once again I am not a Good Person and you will wind up hurt very soon if you do not take your vessels and leave me stranded here quaking in your absence
