Here we sleep under star flowers
a flash of meteor showers
our room a fire light - full bloom
sigh and breath of moon
we travel nights like this
in a sky of sparkling jewels
swim and dream, float
in shimmering pools.

i am the sound of death
when i take sharp breaths that threaten to stop
when my heart beats in rebellion to my mind
when i speak lies and wind up my dark thoughts
when you can hear my melancholy sounds of laughter
when my sheets rustle when i hide from everything
because one more step and i'm not  just the sound anymore
i am death.

3:33am is when the time is
too early to be night
and too late to be day
when i miss you the most.
i don't know whether to pull the memories closer
or throw them away farther from me,
father than where you are now
if that's even possible.
it's too early to have anything in my head
but you take over the whole space,
and it's too late to put your
    laughter
       and smile
           and kindness
               and just overall perfection
back into my heart
but you fit so right.
all i know is that i miss you
and i just know it hurts a lot.

my nail polish is chipped
and my knees are bruised
and my eyes have dark
circles and i don't smile
often and getting out of
bed everyday is almost
painful and i miss too
many people at night
and i stutter when i'm
nervous but at least i'm
not dead yet i guess

I want to live
and
I want to die.

I want to scream
and
I want to cry.

I want to bleed
and
I want to heal.

I want to be numb
and
I want to feel.
