My head is always howling,
so I never sleep,
I keep on listening
An ode to my beloved insomnia.

My happiest moments
were always the ones
where I’m closest to death
I’m leaving soon.
There’s a man who lives in the next town over
He has unmistakable olive skin and light brown hair
He has these piercing blue eyes and a smile that takes up his entire face but my mum will tell you that he and I
Look nothing alike
The women in his family have full hips
And big lips and
My mother will tell you that
Them and I
Will never be anything alike
There’s songs on the radio that play in the car
And sometimes I swear to god he’s listening at the same time
And we’re speaking for the first time since I was a child
He hands me a beer and tells me that he loves the sound of this mans voice
And I tell him that I don’t even remember what his sounds like

5.. Stop
You should’ve taken your pills.
It’s too late now.
It wasn’t too late the first time.
I needed to wake up early
You needed to sleep
I take my pills.

Eternity
is it a dream
or a nightmare...

seeing your face
in my reverie...
Honestly, what is it to be having it... suddenly ?

I
hate
everything you are

but you are still
everything

Maybe one day I’ll write a book about all who have wronged me.

i am not
going to
lie

i tried
to find
your socials

but it's like
you don't
even exist
it's frustrating, isn't it?
