Bite the rose, my dear.
Let's tango.
I hope your scars run as deep as mine.

it's been a while since I've felt
your breeze scrape at this empty cavity.
i mourn this loss every day,

but

i keep your heart with me

in my heart
i keep you

the earth sings
new blooms whisper
to remind me of your scent
(just like the ocean)

i hold your heart
in my heart

and should we meet again,
i hope that you kept my heart
with you

like the moon to gravity
so is your heart to me

and not even these storm tides can relinquish your memory.

congratulations,
you gave me the illing feeling,
that feeling I hate.

you gave me vertigo.

My sheets are cold
like the dawn,

I made another car accident.
This time,
I'm terminal.

Rage:
What’s the view like
from your throne?
Can you see me yet?
(I don’t think you ever saw me at all)
Can you hear the skin
fall from my shoulders?
It’s so much easier
to keep it physical.

Longing:
I’ll bring you my ruined skin.
Maybe then you'll believe that
this is hard for me too.

Forget:
I drew what resembles maps on my skin
it now only resembles ruins.

today I read a story about a man
with a br
oken heart.

I compared him to me
and you
and I
to us

what we were
what we tried to be
what you thought I was...

I'm glad I lost it

because, he is not you
but then again.
I'm not really her either.

I screamed against the wind
heard my voice echo
memories echoed

I walked to the park bench
and I hoped to find you there

In the streets
and the rain
I danced
and sang your name
hoping that you would show

In the midst of all this chaos,
I really hoped that you would show
.

I asked the ocean to let me drink from her.
She said that it's a sin to drink alone/

I saw how the ocean swallowed the sun
and he allowed it
(because he was alone, or lonely?)

I considered following suit.

I fell onto my back
I watched the origami in the sky
and I killed memories I never had.

I tear apart the city streets
blow up sky scrapers
challenge the south easter to a battle
and fight concrete.

to find
what I
misplaced
.
