betrayal

a voice
mocking me from afar
no, or is it from within?
How could i be so foolish?
allow myself to feel
what never could have been
a voice
bringing me down
making me kneel
oh please
“you thought this was real?”

actually about Edwin & Monty from Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

read to me

“these are classics”
he tells me
but i can barely listen,
focused on his voice
his eyes
his heart
his kindness
i do not need
to go to heaven
i have already
seen it all
down here
with you

tethered

“You really don’t have to do that”
oh but i do
for all my existence has become
is just about you

one of those Orpheus & Eurydice moments

I thought Orpheus foolish
and lovingly blind,
unable to resist temptation-
until you were mine

Now I am Orpheus
determined and wild
to ensure your safety
even if it brings us demise

I can’t bear to lose
I can’t help but look

another poem inspired by Edwin & Charles from Dead Boy Detectives

till Death do us part

We were alone
till Death made us part
of each other
Death came for us
too soon
and yet,
won’t bother
leaving us alone

So we are running
for a chance
to stay

Now Death may come for us
but it was worth it from the start.
Because we won’t be alone
till Death do us part

inspired by Edwin & Charles from Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

a dream undreamable

do you ever dream
of a dream
come true?
only attainable
in the most
unimaginable of ways

oh i dream

i dream
of dreams
i know
to never come true
except when i imagine
anything to be
possible

oh my dream

unreachable dreams
forever locked away
kept safe
from horrifying truths
only reachable
in a world that’s
kind

oh i dream
my dream
of kindness
all around

choose kindness

love/lose

to love is to lose
but not before
you’ve gained
what you could never
dream of

love is a losing game?
