For almost 4 years
I can finally say to her
These words that tightly clings
In my heart

"I give up, time for me to let you go"

the spice of cayenne
and fragrances of
depression
but in the background
sounds of
happiness

I try to buy love
Like a shirt or a glove
When loves not for sale
It’s like my soul is in jail

My demons accompany me wherever I go
They follow my trail
They rejoice over my defeat
They kiss me goodnight
They whisper in my ear
In a language I can't quite decipher or grasp
So come take me anywhere but here
Take me to the land of uncensored dreams and long-forgotten memories
Come rekindle the fire within me
Come take me anywhere but here
For I desire nothing but a deep restful sleep

my dad loves me when i go to the gym

says i need to get skinnier

gets me weight loss vitamins

he doesn't understand

i try to be understanding of his lack of understanding

instead i stop eating and say it is the gym

i see him proud when i lose weight

i only see myself getting fatter
i think that every poem should have a trigger warning if it is something about mental illness, eating disorder, ****** assault, etc.

I cannot compose brilliant poems, sonnets, or verses,

and I cannot speak to you in Latin or Greek;

I cannot move you with any language made up by man.

Love is the only only language I could touch you with

If you only knew how much I could love you.

If you knew I love you;

If I were brave enough to tell you at all.

you put me here
and you can't take it back

A Fragment

Hey, it's been a while
How's life been?
As of late, my heart's in trial
For never throwing you out the bin
It longs for our past
The beautiful and the fond
Lucky for wisdom to come and pass
That what it misses is long gone
Truth of the matter, it was not you,
A liberated soul that cannot be ceased
but a past fragment of you
that has rested in peace
A person evolves, grows and changes. It's sad to know that sometimes but it's something we can't control. I realized that closure wasn't given because I thought you were the same, however I met a different...no, evolved you. A person that I am yet to know, someone with noticeable differences. The person I was longing for is gone, nothing but a memory in my brain. And what is best to do than to cherish those memories and realize that "they" are gone from this world.
