Scintilla
aslan Apr 2018
I am a scintilla,
A little blip on the radar
A barely detectable tumor on an MRI
The dullest star in the night sky.
I am,
But barely.
I’m the one
Who walks in the back of the group.
I’m the one
People only come to if they want something.
I’m the one
Who never gets invited to parties.
I’m there,
But nobody bothers to notice me.
it's like i don't exist

We are
aslan Apr 2018
I guess it's
officially official now.
That gives me such a rush
and it's hard to breathe.
We are.
That's amazing.
Yesterday,
during neurofeedback therapy,
my therapist,
he said your name
and I crashed
so quickly
your name
made my heart stop.
I don't know
where I'm going with this awful poem
but I am going.
And that's all that matters.
you're all that matters...

Cigarettes and Regrets
aslan Apr 2018
My friend told me

When he was little

He wanted nothing more

Than to be a cigarette

When he grew up.

When I asked him why,

He told me

It was because his mother

Loved nothing more

Than cigarettes,

That she was always

Too busy for him

But never too busy

For her next drag.

When she was upset

She would turn to her cigarettes,

Tipping the ashes into

Her porcelain ashtray.

She never played with him

She only smoked.

And when her cancer

Took her away

And he went to live with his dad

I asked him again:

What do you want to be

When you grow up?

This time,

His answer was the bottles.

The bottles his dad

Always seemed to have

In his calloused hands.

His dad held a steady job

For a few years

Until he showed up to work

Hungover.

He lost his job that day

And became violent.

My friend showed up to school

The next day

Covered in bruises,

His eye swollen shut.

He wanted his father’s love

His attention

Even after then

When he was always drunk

And beating the **** out of him.

Even after all these years

With his father

Sharing the same fate as his mother,

He still wants to be

Those cigarettes

And that nasty *** ***.

Everything his parents

Ever loved.
you're worth much more than you think

All I know is it started slowly

One drop at a time
The all at once,
Unapologetically.
With no regrets.

No name was said
But your name came to mind immediately
A simple question
And I don’t regret my answer,
That whispered “yes…”

It used to be a secret,
Really.
But now,
I have a not-so secret crush on you.
You know,
Especially considering you said you
Loved me, too.
You said you’d date me
So,
Are we?
Is that a yes or a no?
are we?

aslan Apr 2018
i lied awake last night
staring at the ceiling
until i finally fell asleep
at 12:30 am
they say
that when you can’t sleep
it’s because someone
is thinking about you
so tell me,
were you?
i can't sleep
