Lonely, I feel some times
I am like a mime
Invisible to everyone
I don't get it, no one tells me the reason

I still wish to call you love
My fingers twitch at the end
of every line I write you
But now, I just use your name
Because to me
It feels one and the same
Love is synonymous with you

I can see the angels moving side by side,
Following the movement of the cloudy heavens,
Moving endlessly to the voice of the Almighty.

With their garments as white as snow
And their wings moving to the resounding heavens,
With beautiful smiles on their faces.

It knocked
softly
a breath at the door
but I
bolted the windows
and swallowed the key.

It came wearing warmth,
but I mistook it
for fire,
for teeth,
for grief with a new face.

So I fled,
faster than joy
could reach out its hand
afraid it might feel
like home.

that's when I knew you're
good for me — I liked myself
more for liking you

The draw, the pull, the quicksand,
the rope around
my neck, my ankle, my soul.
The cosmic powers
tearing me apart.

The pressure, the push,
the everclosing bear trap.
The hiding in a secret place
and then the screaming
until there is none.
