Io Jun 2022
I wanted to ***** -
To spill my heart out on the floor
Under the bus stop, to scream
until my lungs gave out
I wanted to *****,
because I wasn’t who I wanted to be -
I wish I could be her...

I was jealous.
I won’t let it take a hold of me again.
Io May 2022
The sweet smell of churned earth after the rain,
A summer sun on a cold winter's day,
An icy breeze in the early morning and
A sip of bitter coffee under the dawn rays.
Io Apr 2022
figures in the tree line
make me shiver
eyes from the treetops,
faces in the river
silhouettes of men
wallowed in the shallows
leading me to the gallows
whispers from the shadows
The tendency to see meaningful patterns in meaningless information
Io Apr 2022
I found a grey hair today,
a sliver that only I shall ever know.
Io Apr 2022
sink deeper... and deeper...
red to black, not closed
not open

I thought that I’d killed you
as I watched your eye sink,

were you scared?
did you hate me?
I hope you’re okay
I know that you could never understand, but
I’m sorry

There were two nice old ladies there with me. One had a walking stick, the other had her arm in a cast. They told me it wasnt my fault, but I knew it was. I could have avoided this harm, I wont make the same mistake twice.
Io Apr 2022
you shifted constantly
your form became that of a million bodies
and so, from everyone I saw,
I felt you staring back at me

we locked eyes

(I find your pupils in the eye of a storm)
(swirling in clouds of every colour)
(I remember you from before)
(I remember you in my dreams)
((I see you standing on a cliff))
((your silhouette drowning in an ocean of grey))
(((It’s raining)))
(((The Ocean is alive,)))
((((it’s speaking to you,))))
(((((but I can only hear the crashing,)))))
((((((crashing of the waves))))))

you closed your eyes
I looked away
but still I wonder...
if you’d drift away
too...
a glimpse into the fortress of your eyes
the black door at the centre of the crater ridden moon
whose wrought iron frame hid a mind so beautiful
I didn’t know you hid a mind so beautiful
I didn’t know...
it’s okay, mistakes happen
Io Mar 2022
I saw you in the moon
you drew lines across my eyelids
your eyes were always elsewhere
distant, yet still beautiful
and warm.

I heard you in the wind
It was an awkward tremor
at the end of your sentence
the lines on your hands
still etched into my mind
the flush of your skin
reminded me of the sunsets back home
somewhere I can never return.

I can’t stop thinking about you.
