the rain is cold
as it falls upon my skin
but I don't mind
because I'm with you

I really hate heights
being high up is beautiful
but falling is horrific, and yet I'll ride the ride
because I'm with you

Swimming isn't my thing
insecurity always wins
but I'll get in the pool
because I'm with you

you make me feel warm, from the inside out
you make me feel safe
you make me feel confident
and these are a few reason why
I need you in my life

j.h.

Earth seems quiet from way up here
beautiful
peaceful
Earth seems calm from this view
almost like it's empty of evil
empty of darkness
and yet
even from here
I know it is not
I can never forget
all the secrets
Earth holds

j.h.

one will find a problem to solve
one will find a problem to complain about

My mother keeps dropping hints
About the increase in size of my waist
About the decrease in space between my legs
"Are you really going to eat that?"
"You shouldn't be snacking that much."
"If you're hungry, you should probably just drink water."
"That won't digest well if you eat it now."
"You know that's going straight to your gut."
Sometimes in the silence of our house late at night I can hear her whispering, "You're not good enough."

I love you too, mom.

What do you regret most in life ?*
The moments I regret the most were you
The moments I shared with you
The moments I wasted on you
The moments I thought about you
The moments I cared about you
The moments I regret the most
Was any moment that has do with
You
Including every poem
I made about you,
Because you were
The only thing that
Motivated me
I regret it the most
…
All of it

In painted moonlight of neon
her dart
pierced his heart

you are my good friend
but can't love you in that sense

and as the ground parted in his pain
he fell to where

he couldn't rise again.
