Depression

This sadness
feels so deeply rooted within me
that I wonder
would I even feel like myself without it?

Life.

It hurts worse than hell some days;
Some days it's rosier than flowers itself...

Fighting on, living through the highs and lows, taking everything in my stride continuing to breathe even as I fight for breath...

Breathe

You were
My sigh of relief
And now
You’re gone
And I’m sitting here
Gasping for air

you write a lot about love

you write a lot about love
without wanting to say it
out loud

hush

he held my mouth "don't make a sound"
but I'm so loud
on ****** ground

red wine

i still look at the recipes you wrote about me.
you told me that baking requires trust—
maybe that's why my macarons burnt.

you were the most sobering experience.

moon talking

perhaps I talk too much to the moon
and don’t listen enough to the universe

for I long for a love
too extraterrestrial
to ever find on this planet

perhaps a poet’s true fate
lies in solitude

for we yearn for connection
too shakespearean
to ever survive this modern day

I turn 21 on Saturday but feel around 70 if i’m honest.

you’re awake
when I’m asleep

you’re asleep
when I’m awake

slowly but pretty surely
we fall into a pattern
called ‘familiarity’
