The I is capitalized and spaced off from love
June Jul 11
These breaths
that I take in sharply
and let go of grievingly

and Those breaths
that forced themselves in and out
of my lungs hungrily
June 7d
Won't see you;
Can't see you

When all these aged impressions and thoughts
Come back
in waves
Of indescernable grey scale feelings

At midgnight
At a busstop
In short shorts with pockets
Full of excuses for wastes

Won't see you;
Can't see you

when the lines blured
and questions slured
out of our mouths
so pretty
so petty

"Where are you
On this frosted glas backdrop?
Where are your hands?
Can you reach out?
And point me to your lips?"

you didn't see;
you couldn't see

that I sat for hours
before mirrors
trying to place
where I'd seen my face
last

reflected reflections back to the reflection

said you love yourself
said you hate yourself
and I reflected
Fight me and I fight back
But love me and I-

Won't see you;
Can't see you

Motion sick on my way
Yeah, the terrain's too uneven
And it goes too fast,
And I don't know
Where to
What for
For whom?


Because
When all these aged impressions and thoughts
Come back
In waves
Of indescernable grey scale feelings
I get swept under
All alone
Was listening to LE SSERAFIM while revising this ofc

It'll be as it was
as it always is
In a blink of an eye
a mixture of melancholy, anxiety and apathy
that stunts
that corrupts
every thought I've had
and ever will have
into vile screeching vultures
that circle around
doves escaping inaction


And they spiral
moving in ellipses that eclipse
new moons
squeezing and wringing
every last drop of motivation
out of my weeping soul
In a flutter of an eye
the days bleed
and scream
into one another
till it is but one mare
In a starless night
June Jun 17
Looking into your vacant eyes now
switches the lights off
leaving only your silhouette
curled up in a storm
of stained pink sheets

No, you don't sleep anymore
except for when
you don't seem to wake
stuck in a trance
which smothers you

Everyday you choose tomorrow
to bet on
No, you haven't won in a while
silver gleams the moon
through your window
silver crinkles and breaks
when you press
on the plastic enclosed fog

Can barely stand
to hear you speak
when you've got nothing to say
the same stories
and unspoken worries
till they corrode in your memories
and disintegrate on your lips

Until the comfort of nightfall
coerces you
to spill your soul
a milliliter at a time
a puzzle I try to piece together
when sleep doesn't come easily

Everything is cumbersome
you hesitate
to move your limbs
over your bed
stuck between four cold walls
that draw nearer

As time flows between your fingers
the ceiling feels higher
the chasm beneath the floor infinitely
wider
hungrier
easier

Than the night illuminating your back
as you watch the stars
too bright
too high up
to remove

Die Wahrheit lauert
Ich schminke mich beim Abschminken
vergeblich
Tröste mich selbst beim Lachen
Das es so gekommen ist

Die Lügen verschleiern nicht viel
Ich schminke mich ab beim Schminken
vergeblich
Lache beim Verschlucken der Tränen
Das es so gekommen ist

— The End —
