you get a call
it’s too early
but too late all at once

you get a call
it is after midnight
he has the bottle in hand

you get a call
it is early morning
the pills are down his throat

you get a call
it’s one am
he tells you not to worry

you get a call
you don’t know how to feel
he says he’s done the bottle
(you don’t know if he means the pills or the water)

you get a call
you don’t know what to do

you get a call
it ends too soon
based off the time when my friend called me during a suicide attempt

to me,
you are
an art

                              to you,
                              I was
                              a tragedy
you still remain, and will always be
a fine piece of art
to me.
// edit: thank you for having this in the daily. ♡
3am
it’s 3 am and i’m thinking of you
the smell of your sweatshirt and your huge smile too
the walk to my house at 1:32
the kisses you gave me before i knew

it’s 3am and i’m thinking of you
you said she was nothing you would pursue
but you and she still had a rendezvous
and now i’m sitting here with tears in my eyes that i’ve burst into

it’s 3am and i’m thinking of you
the mistakes i made and the chances you blew
i wish we could go back to before we fell through
but now i’m sitting here feeling simply blue
different style than what i usually write, felt good to change it up a little bit.
The sister of love is kindness
They follow such similar threads
As hollow, i swim in their clefts

The brother of truth is exposure
He burdens my every word
Unturning; I hide from the world

The sisters I love them both dearly
The brothers I fear them as much
Perhaps one day I will see them
Eye to eye
As one and the same
As the sisters are not

The sister of love is kindness
But kindness will grant me no love
For all its value I chance not
Let it be
And I will remain
As you so often forgot

Take me home
Whether the weather is harsh or long
Place me down
Six feet underground
Pray for me while I decompose
Raise your voice and strike the force

Loose the chains
To prepare for changes

i am going nuts
counting syllables on my

Love Lost

wrote you love letters for 8 years and on the 8th I said I was done. I know one day someone will fall in love with you, but never with all of you.
I did that.
One day it'll be someone else's turn to rub their fingers across your forehead while you dip in and out of sleep. You'll sigh,
You'll say " Iove you" but you'll be caught off guard when it's not my voice that doesn't say " I love you too" I am lost love, for all my lovers.

the silence
hurts more
than the
words
I get replaced so easily

Cave
Cosied

Pelt hanging
From bones

Smile bear
And forage

dormant willow bloom
nestled in winter cover
aching to burst forth
