Eloi
We sprawled across your double bed for days on end,
Watching movies and eating Chinese food,
We cuddled and hugged,
But we never once kissed.

I wondered why you didn't want to kiss me,
And couldn't think of a reason why,
Until I realised that you, just like me, a few months before, just needed somebody to hold.

I love you, I never even kissed you goodbye.
caught somewhere
between
loving you unconditionally
and
wanting to love myself
Every poem I wrote,
I wrote for you;
To try and erase
The wounds you left.

Today
I am writing for me,
Because I have realized
That these wounds will never
Disappear.

They will stay.

They will scar.

And they will be beautiful.

They will be gashes
In my flower petal skin
Sealed with gold,
Lacing me back together.

They will spill sunlight
And music
And all the venom
That you have filled me with
Will dissolve.

I will be new.

I will be fresh.

I will grow new
Flower petal skin.

There is no more whiskey
Left in my blood;
There is no more reason
To beg you to come home.

I am not a child,
I am
A woman king;

A flower who has been
Whiskey dipped.

And, regardless,
I have bloomed.
hi
there are lots of things i don't know about you
yet there are more that you don't know about me.

i'm bipolar, i know you know that.
i'm somehow moody... obviously
i'm this close to telling you everything but,
i won't

or will i?

then what?

will you still let me do anything the way i wanted to?

will you let me smoke my lungs out?

will you let me have another tattoo and


will you still love me the same?

every moment i spend with you is another memory
stored inside my head

there are times i forgot how you used to smell...
even though that it was the smell that wanted to fall asleep to...

there are moments i forgot how you look like,
how you talk, how you walk, how you smile or laugh..

how you say i love you

how you cry when you say it...

there are times, i cry alone thinking that there are special moments
that i'll forget.

there are special memories

that i'll never remember after.

then, there's... *you
i'm actually hoping this is not going to happen...
but i would never regret the days i made memories with you.

don't worry, i'm doing my best to be better.
Do not follow the girl in white,

for she will lead you out of sight,

end your life with sure delight,

against your struggles; all your might,

you'll never again see the light...
A scary short poem for campfires/sleepovers. ; )
the smell of a hospital
disinfecting hands and
identities
placed on the counter.
a passport-size ambition
a fingerprint of luck.
you have arrived.
you are here.

you came in
a bus full of languages
funnelled into the room
'welcome to - '
lost and found
in translation.
you cannot understand
you will try
to understand.

your newness.
new you.
you are new.
you do not understand
you are here.
