nissa

i am afraid
that my bones will rust
before these buildings do

i am afraid
that my soul will fade
before this ink does

i am afraid
that i will lose my tongue
before the world loses its flavour

i am afraid
you will (not) be there
when the bullet strikes

i am very afraid

pills

i took too many pills so maybe when im at the hospital they will pump you out of my system and i can finally be at peace

its been five months but i still feel as empty as i did that night

rocks.

rocks.

my face smashed against the concrete
when you kicked me from your
life; i'm still picking jagged stones
from the spaces between my
teeth. because of this,

i don't smile
anymore.

i don't like it when people leave.
