i walked outside with poisonous thoughts within my cranium
get over yourself
i went outside in hopes of getting air
youre choking
and switching my focus from you
and also to avoid...you
but you came back

let me disappear.

Mirage

Illusion

Waking up next to the love of my life,
Seeing our dogs at the base of our bed still huddled together.
We go out for a walk in the park hand in hand,
on top of the world.
The serenading sounds of nature disrupted by sirens
She pleads for me not to let go but something is shaking me pulling on me and as I hold on for dear life it isn’t enough
I awake in a panic in my room, my alarm is going off and mom is lightly shaking me.
It felt so real, so what else is a lie..

I miss you I won’t tell you though but you know

Queen

almost

It has been almost a month since we slept on the same bed, shared a meal on the same plate, forgotten about the pains and focused on the laughter's instead.

It has been almost a month now since I felt the touch of your hand, massaged the back of you neck, uttered a word or two to you, how I miss making love to you...

I know these are simple words, but you and I both know that we created a world of our own, which has now fallen into an abyss of storms, lost souls wandering around wondering where did we go wrong?

There are so many words I can use to describe the love on its own, but nothing can compare to the profound experience we went through, the emotions, the thrill of it all.

All I can say is that I still miss you, I sometimes don't know what to do, but cry, weep or fall in a state of numbness, I guess it'll probably take another year or years to get over you.

I couldn't finish this poem, I had a break down so I couldn't finish it forgive me.

sweat stains and funerals

i took a solemn, slow walk down the
sidewalk in front of your apartment
and i saw her,

intimidating at first but beautiful
in black lace,
Death,

sitting in a bookstore skimming through a book about Life,
oh they were an inseparable pair but
oh she was magnificent

but after contemplating for some time
i realized that in order
to be truly happy,

i must meet her.

Judgement

Angels descend to collect your breath
Instead they have something else in mind,
You've misused it and mistreated the gift bestowed upon you
You're beautiful and take people's breath away,
Now it's become a game to see how many you can take
Now as punishment you will have you breath taken eternally by him
Is it really a curse,
You seem to enjoy the pain..

ellie

swallows fly in
fractured patterns: i stared
at the canopy

i bellowed your name
and sobbed; my dog
licked my face

faraway: i know your voice
rumbles with music.

this is for ellie, the girl i've never met. ellie rowsell: i've fallen head-over-heels for you.

My therapist said this week
I need to go outside and stop writing poetry for once.

So I went out to my backyard and looked at all the rotted juneberries that have fallen from the neighbors tree onto our concrete garden.
I stared at it for a while
Wondering how many bugs have crawled over it.
And if they knew that these berries would fall only in June.
If they get excited when they bring it to their families.
The thought was fleeting so
I sat on the ground and looked up at the neighbors house across from ours.

Mom told me that since she was little girl
He’d always look in.
Still does.
Plops a chair in the front of the window and just watches,
Not only us of course,
That would be like,
Weird I guess.

It got really hot after a while so
I got near our wilting butterfly tree
And dug a hole slowly thought the dirt
Until I got tired and decided to go inside
And give my neighbor a break of such a sight to see.

not entirely real
