the modernists believed that
a whole life could be
represented in a day
like a strand of DNA
representing the whole
of a person.

if that were true if life
all of it
could be fit into
a day
any day
this day
then

this day, my day,
is cold tea
and empty rooms.

I forgot to have breakfast
and tried to write.
notes
post-its
pens
are scattered across my desk along with
empty cups
and passing thoughts.

if this day, my day,
is all of my life then
there is
so little
love
in it.


if this day is all there is
it has so little
meaning.


living for a day is dangerous she said she wrote

I wanted to walk alongside a river
to see where it would
take me

instead
I sat
at my desk
again

today
is what my life is.

I am moving on.

I have my eyes set on the stars,
My mind landed on the moon and my heart exploring the planets.

It no longer hurts when they talk about you, neither does it stain when I see you...

I've moved on.
I'm not in search for a chemical equation to help me feel complete, I am not trying to find myself a covalent bond, an ionic or even metallic bond.

I realised I am like the noble elements,
Like Neon, Helium, Xenon and Argon I am complete without you...
I am the perfect balance.
I don't need you...
I'm happy,
I've moved on.
You are not the oxygen layer to my aluminum.
I am like gold, I don't need you...
*Ps Chemistry nerd so its confusing*

My mother held me,
and asked what was wrong with my world.
Her rubbery hands in my hair.
"I feel like a plastic narrative," I said,
"and there's nothing I can do about it."

Your nickname for me would sound wrong from another's lips.

I still want to die.



But you make me want to put it off for a little longer.

let's build a real cool fort and turn on the 1975 while we make out.

Let's kiss in the rain
While that song "***" is playing so loud
That the entire world can hear it.

We stayed up all night,
Drinking wine, listening to Dire Straits.
I told you I loved you like Romeo loved Juliet
You told me to get more creative,
So I said it again, in French.

a kiss ....
in the rain
by a sunset
between covers
withing a drunken haze

is fixated on my imagination . For experience i aint got none

a stare
be it coy
outrageously flirty
borderline lets sleep together

is lost in my imagination. For confidence i aint got none

Touch
soft caresses
hasty grabs
playful smacks

are attemptedly felt in my imagination . For a partner i aint got one

Conversations
at 3 ams
over a stupid fight
lame attempt at flirting

are actually

one sided
witty in my head
and don't reveal any details

for trust i aint got none
My stimulus is the couples that surrounded me at prom.

I know that we didn't had anything going on or did we; just know that I get attached to moments, to those that we spent time together unravelling the secrets of the universe. Remembering how your lips curled every time I try to explain my theory to everything. How you thought that I was the most crazy, unique person that you've ever met. It's sad how things went by at the speed of light. It's as if we travelled on stars and before we know it, our time together is up. I get jitters every time you text me, thinking to myself that you still care; or don't you? "Do you not feel anything" a question I kept on asking myself over and over again ever since things got cut off. I know I'm not your priority, but do know that you're always mine, kept and locked in a tiny box deep down in my heart. You're my guilty pleasure, you're my source of happiness, and you're definitely the rose among the thorns.

I couldn't keep them bottled up anymore.
But when I told you, you threw them out the door.
And as night turns into day my feelings for you turned from love to hate.
Sorry it's so short, it's just something I wanted to write about.

Of atheism, you want to be the God of your own life.

I have scars vertically placed on my arms from the kindness of a rusted razor blade

don't be alarmed,
   I only tried to **** myself.

I have bruises on my knees from the rocks placed on the train tracks

dont be alarmed,
   I only tried to **** myself.

I have rub marks on my neck from the rope that broke like a small piece of thread

don't be alarmed,
   I only tried to **** myself.

I only tried to **** myself, that's all, go back to tweeting.
There are bigger problems out there than what's going on on your Twitter or facebook feed.
