****** feet lead you out of the
cold ice freezes over your
path
you fall

you get back up but you’re
dizzy this time you look right and
left but you
can’t see the sun

or the moon.
there is nothing here
                                    nor
                    ­                       there

except the walls.
four sirens to your sunken vessel.
but then you blink
that shine you see?

it’s your blood on the ground

you turn around.
this land has no direction
but somehow
you know you’ll make it home.

no need for a map
my heart points to you
rough lines, tough steps
can't stop what I want to do

there hasn't been a moment where I've forgotten you
even when we're far apart
as long as we meet at the end of the horizon

              I'll raise the masts
              I'm being carried by the winds

put the rough waves of water's surface into sleep
tell you a million times so you won't miss
me

feeling unkempt
left me untethered, you caught the next cab
south of any air
ill keep close ithaca, warm me from the inside, heading anywhere
be too loud for me
perpetually alone
keep me far from anything ive not learned i need to know

and earthly ties they’ll ask for closure
while the bed pulls you closer
feeling unkempt
choked me breathless, i climbed an unsteady ladder, running out of air
ill be dumb for you, bliss
wrap me in illusion
evidently ill be consequently blind for you
perpetually forgone
any sense of known
tell me again, call me your fool
feeling unkempt

ill forget me again for you.
cant hurt me unless i let it.

in moments of bliss
you shine inadvertently
unsure of why I worry of you

in fragments of abyss
you relieve deliberately
sure of why I wish for you;
I certainly cannot miss

(Inspired by the song Blood Sweat & Tears by BTS)

I indulge in the sweet chocolate
That is none other than
The Devil's wings on your back
Knowing that it will poison me harshly

Please **** me softly
So that the worry
Of losing you
Is taken along with my breath

As I follow you further
I get drunk on you
Allowing your whiskey
Deep into my throat

You've stripped me of my existence
Spilling all of my blood
And pouring my sweat and tears
Into small broken mason jars

Why do I bother to run
When I can't escape this prison
Being hunted like an animal
Just to be ******* again

Promise me that
I will keep being poisoned
As long as before I go
I get one last chance

One last dance with you
Before I am
Stripped of my existence
Again.

summer quietly creaks open the back door
slips from beneath your skin
records shattering
as you stare down from the
attic, living in
slow motion.
it's gone before you can
remember what warmth even is.
sadness warps an old yellow novel
you used to love, holding it close
as it twists and moans.
  now,
  rip the
  best chapter out
  because
  it belongs to
  you.

You told me you had my back...
Now my shadow is still behind me,
And where on earth are you?

i dreamt of you once again-
i wish i had not woken up.
