AJ - Hello Poetry

Maybe if I drown myself
In black coffee and expensive cigarettes,
I can forget that I am destined
To always be trash.
If I strive high enough,
One day I might even make it to average.
Even that is just a pipe dream, though.

Sandman

I constantly feel
Like I have taken
Well over a handful
Of sleeping pills.

I can't make it stop.

I Just Can't

Thinking of you
Makes me feel really sick.
I changed my mind.
So don't, baby, don't.

Where did Superman go?

I only have one small towel
To stop this entire flood.
Yet you have an entire army
Just to swat one tiny little fly.
Explain to me why this is fair.

Please. ******* please.

I am feeling really sad right now.
And I don't want to talk about it.
And I don't want to think positive.
And I don't want anyone to try and fix anything.
And I don't want to confront anything.
And I don't want to calm down.

I just want to listen to my sad music playlist.
I just want you to hold me and not say a word.
I just want to cry and cry and not worry about
How loud I'm being
Or how dramatic I am being.

I just want to cry
And I just want you to hold me.

I feel like I'll never be able to breath again if I don't.

Son XV

My little ghost baby is truly the best.
The cutest little thing,
My little Collin.
He woke up in the middle of the night,
And asked
"Mama, I woke up to say I love you."
I have melted completely.
I am a pile of moosh on the floor.
I love you, baby.

Other stories about Collin can be found in the collection "Son", which you can find if you look in the notes down below.

I'm still in shock.
I feel like the entire universe
Was crumpled up into a ball
And jammed down your throat
In the form of torture.
Please let her escape.
She's just a kid.
