i am sorry.
for the times i wanted to
end you.

i am sorry.
for the times i wanted to
hurt you.

i am sorry.
for the times i let my
anxiety
hatred
my pain
depression
determine your well being.

thank you.
for fighting
thank you.
for writing
for joining me on this journey

thank you
for living; breathing

Thank You

me

It is not you that I miss,

             But the person
             That

Was.

             The person
             That

                                    could
                                               be.

That is who I miss.

THAT person.

Me.

Streetwalker

“Here’s my card”
In it you will find:
My name,
Contacts
And organisation,
In said order.

In it you will not find:
the ****** of my hips
the lies on my lips
the scars on my nips
the end at my tips

In said order.

forgiveness

you must forgive
yourself first

vervain

your mouth is wide open
teeth pointed
like a vampire
you look hungry
like you haven’t fed in a while
you crave him
but
he can't satisfy you
don't you see
all this is in vain
you are his conquest
he is your vervain

                        (6:45)
                                   you close your eyes
                                                                        (7:00)

                                                                                    away
                                                                                    the urge to
                                                                                                           WAKE
