The other day,
I unblocked you from
Instagram.

Not because I miss you.

Not because I am inviting you
back into my life
after a year and a half--

Because I refuse
to remain in hiding.

So beautiful
Yet so painful to hold
Almost like a disguise
Hiding the pain
Under the beauty
Of petals

the tears
that I'm so use to
I don't even realize
they're there

People don't share,
They don't even care,
It just isn't fair
that they can't spare,
I was unaware,
I didn't prepare,
So I'll just be square,
This is a nightmare.

You are near,
Even when I don't
see you.
You will always be with me,
even when you
are far away.
They sent a man
On the moon
During quarantine
He never came down
Breakdown?
Breakthrough.

I
pored
over every
word dripping
off of your tongue
flowing out of your lips
I pored over every word
filling up my lungs and
s u f f o c a t i n g m e
I pored over your
every word

             so         you       you         me     was          to
               when      said      loved      I        ready

she never spoke

sat on the floor
and played

with silver stones
made them dance

in circles

sparkling under
the lights

her voice was
a melody

of soft sounds

she never needed
words

to make sense of
everything around her

and everyone around
her understood

Monsters don’t exist
Still, we are very afraid
Because we made them
Monsters. A concept so often used to represent anything dislikable to society, which we are afraid of. Yet literal monsters don’t exist.
