You broke my compass. Don't just stand there, Pretending you didn't leave My arrow a mess. Like you didn't push Your magnet closer and closer Until it spun out of control, Like an ambush. Like you didn't grind Your knife into it, And watch me scream As we would forever be entwined. Every time I look down at my compass, you see; The lost arrow, And your wicked smile, Are staring back at me.

A letter to you who broke my compass
I watch my happiness Flow down the sink With the Tequila

how we love our pain
She is always waiting for me. Her slithering serpents’ aching to pull me under. I feel her spiny laughter as I push her into the concrete box of her own making. I can almost barely feel the chill breeze on my once bound wrists before her villainous cackle chills me through the tomb she is encased in. I am new to this world of grass and soil that tingles the bottoms of my hardened feet. The warmth from the sky makes me forget her. But there! She breaks free, standing under the moon’s light. I stand, frozen, hoping to finally be free from my stony prison and to never see those gruesome eyes again. But, now, as I look into the eyes I so wish to be free from, I see my own two empty sockets reflecting back at me: unending and unforgiving.
