23/M/Philippines i am but a cracked grave spilling smoke from the pyres of forsaken selves—each died a thousand deaths, each lingered as an elegy engraved in stone.

body place chest skin head left heaviness places hands days darkness quiet pressing weight day open thing dream layers carve hollow bones will forget fists crimson dark tired fragments deformities gray light moon emptying wrist today void consume suffocate hovering shadow feeling draining comfort knew fought battles keep company letting presence envelope drained mind split leaking deafening silence sighing finally ended stops moment learns survive sifted wound dreams soft rot spending stripping disappointment depth marrow flickers lift foolish shadowed amaryllis stood memory lingers refusing die ache find patchworks ripped people brought long strings attached connected chained stretching unknown understand things endured bruised softness graveyard beaten endless steps footprint wanting step trial strange desired teeth lips whispers staining caves remember violence fingernails crescents tame tendencies tremble heavily empty times wished crawl escape slip delicately annihilating good existence detriments point piles bursts cracked unalive nuances kinder shade naked wounds bruises incarnadine lines
