jǫrð Mar 29
It was March 28, when I last cried
& the name Virginia Woolf came to mind
So I typed her name into my search bar to find
It was the day she had died

I studied the note she left behind
and what I saw I could not deny
How closely she and I
Could be in time
The History: In Virginia's suicide letter to her husband, she wrote how happy she had been to have him in her life, and how if anyone could have saved her it would have been him. She said of her suicide, "So I am doing what seems the best thing to do." Rather than continue without being able to concentrate, hearing voices, struggling with her mental illness, she objectively took the opportunity to leave this world.
jǫrð May 2024
My ovaries twist inside
I never deserved them
Anyhow

Choose or else
Something will
Chose for you

I wish I
At least had
My baby to say goodbye to
jǫrð Apr 2024
You always wanted to be something more.
John Wick, or John Snow,
Or John Doe who gets all the girls
Who dumps them off when you're done
Hacking them apart
The History: Weak, insignificant men playing games they'll never win. They dream of importance, of status, of fast cars.
jǫrð Jan 2024
They fear
What it is
That lies
Beyond
The scope
Of their
Understanding
And I wouldn't
Have been
Ready for
The path I
Have chosen
If not for being
Polarized once
Myself
The History: I was often called evil, and without conscience. They branded me with the scarlet A, and so I've returned to them the purple finger.
jǫrð Jan 2024
Inscribed with some biblical nonsense
The ring that you gave
I gave away
To a man I despised at the time
And forgot until recently
That you exist at all
You said you remembered
I had a kind heart
Did you mean instead
That I'm easy to bed
I have learned to read between the lines
The History: Hello, to you, incompetent child man who misses someone sweet. Where is your mommy? I thought she was supposed to be involved in everything?
jǫrð Jan 2024
Cast me into
Your inferno
I want to go
Where you're
Going
I want to see
That flame, feel
It grow within
As a newborn
Would
The History: As if I could truly love any lesser man.
