I am damp spots,

I am difficulty breathing,

I am drinking alone in the middle of the day,

I am bent book spines,

wonky teeth,

just a little bit chubby with no *****.

I am mice nibbling at my toes,

fast food over home cooked meals,

envy over normaly,

and solace in art.

I am crying for nothing

and everything at all.

I am music none of my friends like

and I am fluccuating between comfort eating

and not eating at all.



I have grown up

I have changed.

I am ambition

and grown up relationships

and jobs.



I am nostalgic

and sad

and

I am drunk.
I am drunk. I was drunk when I write this and drunk when I posted it. It's not poetry. I don't think. Or is it?

Either way, it's about how, when I'm drunk and home alone and about to leave my hometown for my weird almost-grown-up life, I get strangely sad about leaving all the things I hated.

I wished you good morning
and you wished me good night.
Thousands of miles away,
But both sleepy eyed.

I like to think I send you kisses
with the sun when it goes,
And I swear I feel your lips
From the moon's silver glow.
Quick 1am draft I typed out on my phone when I felt lonely in my bed, where he should have been.

My double bed is bigger than normal tonight.
Cushiony expanses of miles, the stretching white,
Like the miles I’ll remember in tomorrow’s light.

Morning and evening,
Pretty girl, I've watched you cry,
Subject to this Goblin world
That made you scared to try.

I hope you know that you're the sweetest fruit
Anyone could hope to buy,
And you've grown up on the strongest branch,
That lifts you close up to the sky.

My dearest little sister,
Please don't fear the dawning of each day.
I hope you know that I'll be there,
to hold your hand all the way.

For there is no friend like a sister,
And your friend I'll always stay.
For my little sister. Written very quickly, with nods to my favourite Christina Rossetti poem "Goblin Market"

How did I ever find you
when you're so far away?
CMT Dec 2013
I furiously scrub,
and sweep,
and spray,
as though I could wipe it out
from 90 miles away.

I don’t know how I managed to stay so strong.

that desire for red, for torn flesh, that used to possess me in my early teens never won.

But oh god, it’s times like this that all my old thirsts come flooding back.

Right now all I want to see through my blurred vision is blood, and lots of it.

How I haven’t succumbed and drowned in crimson remains a mystery even to me.
Not really a poem, but I jotted this down on my personal blog just after I burst into tears over something and it kinda sounded better - to me at least - than anything I'd intended to be poetry.
