You may leave at some point.
But your memories, they won't.
I may say goodbye.
But my love, it can't.
Just as there is no lie
without a kernel of truth,
There is no truth
untainted by human tongues.
Kids don't just go skateboarding anymore to fix their problems. They drink or they smoke or they put a ******* knife to their wrists. That's the way our world stays in orbit these days.
something my sister told our father when our brother ran out on us

i
because of you,
i do stupid, irrational,
immature things,
but it makes me think
of you while i'm
misbehaving, you
cause that feeling
of adrenaline in me,
so i keep thinking
of you, it makes me
high and confused,
but i am happy in that
state of confusion and desire,
while you keep me
too high to even think
rationally.
I ordered your favorite drink from Starbucks
And tried it for myself
Because I thought
That if I tried something you love
Then maybe
Just maybe
My heart would beat like yours
My heart would feel like yours
And I would know
If maybe
Just maybe
You still love me the way you used to.

I am tired of permanently loving temporary men.
I stitched my cuts with flowers
so I could be lovely
I put on my best dress and flowered crown
before I set off for the sky
I tied my noose upon the edge of the crescent moon
now with the stars i'll never be lonely
I left the world I found unpleasant but now up here it is quite fine
for upon all the beauty around me, before my leave
all I could say was " oh my"
Finally i'm one with the universe dangling from the crescent moon
I appear fragile , lovely , and free
Everything I was and wanted to be...
