betrayal
JD Jun 4
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)

does home miss me?
JD Jun 8
“i miss home”
i admit
face stained with tears,
i can’t recall
the place where i belong.
“i miss home”
i admit
voice laden with fear,
what if they
don’t know that i am gone?
about crystal palace

and now i am Atlas
shouldering the weight of the past
all on my own

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

Acceptance
accept it
but don't
expect it
to change
what you have done

the way i love
JD Aug 26
let me love you
like the moon loves the sun:
addicting
like the rain loves the clouds:
fitting
like the light loves the darkness:
contradicting
let me love you
in the light of the moon
and when the sun shines bright
let me love you
when it’s raining
and there are clouds in the sky
let me love you
in all your goodness
and the darkness too
let me love you
like i love you

“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

It's cold again
no people to hold
no one wants
to stay close

In the face
of darkness
none seem
to care

Solidarity forever
but only
for a short while

I don't want
to stay cold
we need community

— The End —
