I saw the inevitable;
A generation destroyed
And I mourned the constellation

I cannot help but look down
At the immoral
And think

Are you not upset?

So I sit
On the galaxy’s edge
And watch the stars combust

Into the black holes
Of the neon dust

Gently it goes - the necessary, the predictable, the fatal

Untitled

I can feel myself
        S
           L
               O
                   W
                        L
                            Y
Slipping back into the abyss
That I spent so long
Trying to make it out of
But the thing about depression
Is it’s so easy to get lost
Because the familiarity
Is that of an old friend
And after a while
I almost don’t know who I am
Until I look in the mirror
And hate what I see
So I look away
Because I can’t bear to see myself
For who I truly am
Which is the monster
They always said I was

Passion

No matter how hard the sun tries
It will always be ethereal
As will you, my love
Do you bask in the sun?
Soak up her rays?
Tell me how is it
That you became
The most godly thing
I will ever lay eyes upon
You were ingeniously created
Just for me
A feeling that is everlasting
And above all others
Is the burn
Of the flame
You ignited in me

Written for my fiancée

Poet

When people ask
“What kind of poet are you?”
I often reply
A sad one
And
Not inherently because I always am
But because sometimes
The sadness is easiest
To get lost in
And I often find myself
Needing to be lost

Lost

I think someway, somehow
We both knew
This would end in heartbreak
We were never meant to be
But I kept trying to glue
The fragile pieces of our existence
Back together
Because I felt like
You were worth fighting for
And I don’t know who I am
Without you
But I’d like to find out

Empty

This life I was given
Has caused me nothing
But sorrow and grief
And that’s why I can’t possibly wrap my mind
Around the fact
That life is a beautiful thing
When nothing beautiful
Ever happens to me

Mona Lisa

Her beauty can be compared
To that of
A modern renaissance piece
That takes a truly tasteful eye
To appreciate
She is and of
Alluring captivity
And all the while
I stand in awe
Of her monumentality
