smoking my last cigarette beneath freezing rain, it's midnight & this feels so deserving. i'm thinking of jokes like, "wow, the price of gas is almost as low as my self esteem!" it's not funny though, i just smile slightly.

I'm not good at being alone.
It makes lungs feel
shaky,
ribcage achy.
next breath.
exhale.

Don't choke me when you know I'm not well.

Acquainted with this feeling.
It feels like your not
breathing,
I can't help but hear
screaming,
Suddenly I start
heaving.

She says what she thinks,
And what we know to be true.
I just don't have the stomach for it,
And that's how she thrives.

Blunt knives pierce the deepest.
And I can't hide.

I don't know how to continue —
Without knowing you.
Your goodbye
Left me a stranger
                  to this world.
The days
Are weeks.
The weeks
Are years.
The nights
Grow darker.
Each winter,
Colder.
You took my love,
My heart.
My lungs.
Hymns to the darkness.
Blood for the sun.
I wait.
I wait.
You don't explain.
Endlessly,
The daggers rain.

A part of me wants you back,
But a part of me don't mean jack.
When I look at what we had,
I remember,
happiness only exists in an hourglass.

I hate you a lot, as in
  periodically rather than
    continuously because you keep me up
      at night.

      Either in my thoughts or on my
     phone you seem to be present near
    enough all the time and it sickens
   me to say this but when you say
  that I love you, you're probably
right.
