efni - Hello Poetry

folding
yesterday's
clean laundry.

shaping a
perimeter of
piles around
me sitting,
legs crossed
and slightly
slouching.

the voice of
a male siren
croons to
slow acoustic
tones playing
from one
side of my
damaged
headphones,

along with
𝒉𝒊𝒔 static
voice.

it's a tuesday evening at 5:45pm and i think i can be happy.
this is becoming an unfamiliar pattern.

unbroken?

fractured and scattered
pieces of me reconcile
when you hold me together
so tightly that even when
you have to let me go

they don't fall away

maybe... just maybe... i dont have to be broken.
you showed me that.

Stardust Touch

Stardust flows through
your veins and every touch
creates galaxies upon my skin.

Raised

I wonder if I really am kind hearted.
Most people think it’s true,
But maybe I’m just afraid of being mean-
Maybe I’m afraid of being you.

dotin' and dozin'

we fall asleep
so easily as if
our minds
are making
a mockery of
our hearts
that arguably
fell even faster.

sweet dreaming, sweetheart

a good thing

ive never learned
how to write without
inking my pen with
tears and blood from
my broken brain so
if you like to read my
poetic pieces of pain
nearly as much as i like
to create them for us
i guess it's a good thing
that ill never be good

i will never lose poetry as
i will never find happiness
so you will never lose me

I'm in pain but I'm a poet.
how's that for glass half full?

not enough caution tape

soon, you'll wish you hadn't
even come to know my name

when you bitterly realize that
every **** day is the same

endlessly wrestling against
the relentlessness of my pain

i should have warned harsher
that loving me? it's a losing game.

honestly.
I'm scared for you.
