I love hearing people make promises

  fantasizing about the way they're going to



break them
you ruined me for a moment, there.
Kelly Jun 2021
Every time I look down
The ink on my chest burns red
The taste of the shades of pink in your lips
Grabbing my hips
In selfless descendance

I can almost feel it
Your fingertips
In soulful bliss
I beg for it
is it you?

we were, we are
a hurricane
a wayward train
torrential rain
scattered, scorched, and singed terrain
but we are NOT debris,
remains

we're beautiful, and effervescent
caliginous, bold
eclipsed fluorescence
tapered in incessant lessons
and garnished in moments of
  
                                                    Heaven

n­o longer in hiding.

I’m tired of people meeting me

And falling in love with somebody


Who doesn’t exist
I’m not here yet
Kelly May 2021
I’m an acquired taste
Like coffee or IPAs
A little bit bitter

Please know I’m always working and know I, too, will Falter
Just remember what molds best the stone
Is soft, consistent water
be kind to me, I'm trying
Kelly May 2021
The more you're gone, the less I've fought
I've reason less to breathe
I break their skin
in hopes of thin
reminders of your heat.

I've grown more quiet in this game
though actions play the same
I hold them hard and look away
Afraid I'll say your name.
i can barely remember
