What if I was happy from the start?
what if my parents bond was stronger than the freedom of divorce?
what if kisses bruised my face in exchange for those brutal hands?
what if my dad held me in his arms a little longer?

Maybe I would have never alluded to the conclusion that a broken family is a healthy family.
maybe I would have learned that self hate is a vile disease, deteriorating from the inside out.
maybe I would have never searched for sanction in lustful boys whom fed into my daddy issues.

Maybe I'd be sane, clear of mental illness-
Or in expense for my self destruction I'd find content in a solitude of isolation-

What if I was happy from the start, will there ever be such a possibility?

Last spring I lay in a bed of comfort
Painted with stability, a profound confidence radiating throughout my body
Yellow for the sun that'd kiss my skin farewell
Red for the overwhelmed vitality of love; intimacy at it's pure
Green for a lucid state of mind free of chaos and anticipation
Purple, the memories I'd take for granted soon forgotten

My silhouette lay twined amongst the vines that'd seep from the ground
Weaving between blades of grass
Accompanying my restful soul
that seemed to have gone unbothered

Summer, Autumn, Winter
Mocking what felt as my last breath
I'd lay that spring in a bed of thorns
Bathed in red from lust and broken hearts
Tormented with a ray of yellow, I'd long for a kiss farewell

I lay that season in a different state than that of which once occurred
Encountering it with a hope of autumn leaves falling alongside my worries
Amongst new colors I'd desire to lay
In search of a virtuous amour pro-pre

I was hurt, not just by him but a fulfilment of unfortunate events. Events I can't clearly recall because I was in a state of denial, I seeped into every open arm in search of a love that neither my lost lover nor family could provide. It's selfish but how could I not find comfort in others, how could I not self destruct when inconsistencies wrote my life. I can't remember a single detail about him or that one down the street or in my bed or outside my house, **** I can't recall how many drinks I had or what drugs I was inhaling. It's no excuse right? I should be happy again, my family is back together and he's gone for good. So why do I feel the need to self medicate? Why is that when I sit with my family at the dinner table I can't help but desire to get lost in temporary highs? Why must I live in a melancholic state were all I truly feel is the need to do bad. I am bad.

Our frames fitting as though we were two broken pieces of glass, or let it be I, the broken window. Limbs intertwined, as I drag my toe up your leg. Lips meeting my hips tracing up to my chest. I can feel the begging of your mouth through my skin, despite the burning desire you took the time to embrace. Minutes feel like an eternity and your warmth feels like love. Silence. Darkness. We lay side by side. I listen and we laugh. A nonchalant night carried on with dialogue. Maybe I fall too easily and break so fast, but isnt that why every shadow is cast upon the presence of a light?

Never believe a girl with a yellow smile and misleading intentions,

As she presses her tabaco stained lips against your skin she releases a depressive buzz paralyzing your thoughts
Inhaled smoke filling the empty space a heart is to rest while her melancholic warmth hugs your body and chars your throat
She can see the pain gleaming from your eyes and yet still continues to kiss your stomach into knots

The truth finally rolling off the tounge
Or was it that she couldn't stand the bitter after taste?

Good thing you left before you became her second hand smoke
I've written more poems about you than Emily Dickinson wrote for her never, ever, lover.

You don't love me but I can't tell
I'm all alone, it feels like hell

Amorous intentions flood your eyes as those cool fingers trace the lining of my back
Touch after touch
Ones body could only help but curve into your embrace
As hands grasp on by the waist, silent
breaths escape my chest
Touch after touch
Ones body could only help but lean into your frame
Our bodies forming a tapestry of love
Weaving throughout the sheets of absence

I missed you long enough

Shutting my eyes as to shut out the pain of having lost you
Yet reassured of your love as your hands run along my stomach
That fragile voice I've heard before
"I cant believe I have you"
I know it's true with you
