1.
i fear you more than i love you

2.
sometimes i wish you were dead so that i wouldn't have to leave you but i wouldn't have to live with you either

3.
i went to dinner with a friend you forbade me to see. when i hugged him, his body was neither as soft nor as warm as yours and i didn't like it very much. there was no ****** tension; only liberation, and deep, deep guilt.

4.
sometimes i lie to you about my phone being out of battery. it's on airplane mode because i need some time to myself and you don't like it when i ask for "alone time". why do you need alone time, you always ask. i don't know how to explain it to you anymore.

5.
i wish i had never met you because i am in a cycle of evil and fear and guilt and pain and sure some days you make me feel loved but mostly you just drive me insane. insane, not in the oh my gosh i'm so in love way but in the i don't know what's real anymore way.

6.
i feel weak because i am not strong enough to leave you.

7.
i feel strong because through it all, i have survived.
don't read into this- it's just a poem.

I miss you

Your
gorgeous brown eyes...
Make me cry,
they hold so much
deep inside.
You're a ouster
and I'm your pearl.
You consume me
as my life
turns to hell.
Hold me tight
just to say
goodbye.
Kiss my heart
as it melts
and burns
my
throat.
Look at me
in the eyes
and tell me
that you miss
me.
Please hold these words
of 'I love you.'

I can smell the honeysuckle
feel the warmth and
salty sweetness
of a season not yet blossomed
You tucked the bloom
behind your ear
and smiled
You brushed your hand
across my leg
and looked away
I kissed you
and knew
summer had finally arrived
She grabs my hand and whispers softly;

Where do you want to go?

Anywhere?

an endless choice; I am not good with uncertainties

and she knows how to manipulate
a pleasure into pain, and in reverse,

That's why I hold her hand, begging for adventure, green forests where the only sound
is birdsong,

endless oceans where we can
flex our mermaid's tails

It is not always so bright, sometimes she aches for hot coals,
for needles lined up perfectly, a different space, a different light

However, I will follow her,
as she is half of me,
and if her mind is fixed on a stroll through Hell, dancing with devils and drinking blood.

I will be by her side, waiting for the next whisper, quietly muttering blindly

for light

I'm scared to transform myself into a butterfly,
Not because I'll be different
Or that's it's too hard to try,
But rather
I'm worried you'll still be a caterpillar
And I'll be able to fly.
Will I evolve too far from you?

if you ask what is wrong
and she says
I'm insane
don't leave her
she wants to know
that it's not her name
If you knew me entirely, you wouldn't love me anymore
