The Red Woman
my writers block
takes my breath a way
- but not in a good sense
i’ll grasp for air
searching for words
i’m not breathing
but i’m not dying either
You were so...
Happy.
That’s the word.
Happy with her.
Joyful and pure.
She was really nice.
Sweet, not sadistic.
You two were the perfect pair.
But now you’re apart,
On two sides of a cell.
It was barely a few months.
Was anything even there?
I’m sure she meant I love you.
Only now...
she doesn’t.
Little kisses here and there.
Kisses you two shared.
Maybe she did love you,
It was excitement she lacked.
But it’ll be okay, my dear.
I always have your back.
For, Huxley and Sigrid. ******, you were so cute together.

My heart feels like
it's about to shut down
from all the truths
that only I know

People view me
as kind
selfless
heartfelt
with empathy

Yet once they witness
my darker side
this inner demon
that is always
a few steps behind me

Once they see
the ashes and smeared blood
tainted within my mind and heart

I am once again alone
alone to pick up the pieces 
of a love that never was

She is but a dream;
a dream that would not fade,
even long after waking up.
And will remain a dream.

A meager attempt after a long break.
could be
seasonal depression
or could be
lacking any friends
i don’t know.

and please don’t try to tell me “oh you have friends- you really do” or “find new friends” because trust me- I know them- and I don’t want to associate with them and I live in too small of a town to find other friends.

i want to write my pain out,
but it won't drip through my pen
it's been stuck there for five years,
a rotting clot inside my head.

even in the stillness of death she looked so beautiful

You see the slump in my shoulders
the way I carry myself
the burdens of boulders
that threaten my health.

When you ask what's wrong
I pull up my guard
don't want your pity or sad song
won't tell you why life's hard.

So if you want to know
I'll bottle it inside
wrap up all remains in a black bow
and tell you I'm fine.
