Rain
κλείω Jun 2023
Whenever I walk in the rain I think of you
Of us.
We’re both 13 in the museum of science
Holding hands running through the rain exhibit
Testing how wet we get if we ran rather than walked

I’m 23 and you’ll always be 18

Child of immigrants

They learned to rebuild
Carrying the bricks on their backs
Memorized a whole new language and ignored people’s attacks

Nos enseñaron español
Visitamos Mexico cada año
Nos dicen “ponte un suéter
Porque el frío hace daño”

They made us who we are
A mosaic of two places
Feet firmly planted in both
Pride written across our faces

Lights
κλείω Dec 2021
I wish I could turn my tears into Christmas lights
So I could decorate my parent’s home without spending a dime
Maybe each light represents a day I needed them and
With each tear a new light pops up and I fear we are running out of time

Push

If you keep pushing me away
You won't find me where you left me

My heart is not big enough
To deal with people
Who decide to love me
Only when it is convenient for them

It’s better than cutting something else

But Im afraid I don’t have much hair left

Sometimes you are unfair to me
my attitude problem
is always seemingly an issue for you

but I seldom ever speak on when
you make me feel.............
less than a person
you make me feel small
-------------------------------------------
and you make it seem like
everyday I have an issue

I don't.
YOU do

One day
κλείω Apr 2021
One day...
My sisters will have kids
My parents will be grandparents
My grandparents will die

We exist at a point in time.
We share moments
Connecting our dots for a short time

What is 100 years to infinity?
The fragments of the universe  that created us
Makes us gravitate to our loved ones
Because they remind us what the universe feels like.

Happiness is simply
..........

BEING
..........

When we die
Our essence returns--home
The universe created us
So we return to
An endless ethereal
Eternity

Blue

You said you loved blue
And suddenly blue is all I ever wanted to be
I carved myself to be your ideal piece of art
But you preferred watercolor over clay

Did you know I have dimples?

I didn’t.
Was I faking my smile with you?

I want the memory of me to taste metallic and cold...

Like blood in your mouth every time you remember the soft kisses we shared in the most beautiful places.

New me
κλείω Sep 2020
My own internal clock stopped ticking
Emitting
Transmitting
Is this a new beginning
The phone keeps ringing
I keep on tripping
I’m quickly sprinting
Slowly Forgiving
I found my meaning
Read top to bottom and then bottom to top

Yes it’s still snowing
But I’m not buried in it
Yes the wind keeps blowing
But I’m still going
Unknowing
Growing
Tiptoeing
Yes it’s snowing
But I’m still glowing

Pushing
κλείω Sep 2020
With every push
And every nudge

I land someplace
I never thought I'd get to

It's an arms race
And I'm quickly gaining on you


You were ashamed of me
Cut me out of the blue

Replaced me like I was nothing
I was too trusting

You are disgusting

Eating alone
Is disappointing

but it is better than not eating at all

How frustrating
At least I like being on my own

I wish...
κλείω Aug 2020
I wish you wrote about me
About the good in your life
And as I stare out into the sea
My happiness declines

How vast a world can be
How small it would've been
If it had stayed you and me

— The End —
