dawn refracts on this blanket of fog astoundingly different as it does on broken mirrors
punch them until they break
make something poetic out of them

taxi drivers will
always be strangers behind
the glass divider

relying on them
depends entirely on you
and human instinct

the weight on my back
disagreed, it said "please no"
oh, i almost did

but my abusive
need for a little fun and
alcohol was my doom

taxi driver, where?
please, where are you taking me?
i want to go home

the sneer on his face
suggests more than pure evil
he likes the darkness

oh, taxi driver
careful with my fragile mind
and my cotton skirt

my mom will be mad
when i tell her my new skirt
has been ripped apart

my head feels heavy
guilt and fear intertwine and
crush me, i'm breathless

no, taxi driver
you will not buy me a drink
i want to go home

i said: take me home.
everything's blurry and i
can't find my phone

oh, taxi driver
please, just get it over with
maybe you should end me

the last thing i'd see
was my dear taxi driver
looming over me

taxi drivers will
always be strangers behind
the glass divider
9.2.18  / in loving memory of a million sisters. beware the taxi driver, be safe, you're not alone.

yellow vases shan't hold Montmartre coffee nor goldilocks no more,
brilliant sunshine wrapped around thy hair, unmoving in this unending fall.
yellow paint and quivering ink-eating, masking something for sure:
just make this bread, add spicy Dijon must-dust for show.
eat it all up, absinthe's place in your heart and soul,
toxic waste in your yellowish carnation, oozing out lemon holes.
will he really swallow the missing piece of his own (...)?
was he really the type to ponder & slaughter the only thing that he truly owned?

enter this mansion,
the place where love is given out
in little clear bottles
so you can put them on your shelves
back to back with knowledge carriers
bound so tight in leather
the ideas flow out as you take a peek.

these beautiful bottles have
but one thing in common:
the memories you can glimpse in them
happened entirely by a fireplace
in a house, my house,
far away from here,
where the walls are so thick
that you can't hear the tears
but i know that should i choose to
i would open this door
and find comfort in my mother's love.

people have walked past it
thousands and thousands of times
and never noticed anyting odd
but i swear, on my father's kindness,
the front door leads to another world.

step into the witch's lair
all your prejudice wiped away
completely free of exterior negativity,
she might teach you a thing or two,
or maybe, make some tea.

bubble, bubble, toil and trouble;
something wicked this way comes.
10.1.18  /  15.12  /  this is my family... i owe them so much, an ocean of words would not be enough to thank them. so here's a poem instead.

if you really cared
about me
about anyone
at all

if you really care
about my well being
about anything that isn't yours

all you have to do
is read my poetry.
me;
because i have shared it with you
but it flew right past.
you;
as if it didn't matter at all
26.12.17  /  23.54  /  make me shut up

i imagine me writing
as i imagine a gardener who plants seeds but does not know if they will become
the most beautiful flower
or the prickiest of herbs

skinny violence, never to fade
changing sequence
shifting shadows, piercing eyelids
at the water's embrace
        
no one is safe
come out, come out,
come out and play
just a microsecond, wait
fill me up with fuel hate

i'm done with reaching
and never achieving,
of meeting half way
for you just to belittle me.
don't patronize me,
have you even seen
how much I've grown?

i'm tired of sleeping
because my blankets can't fulfill any of
    my needs
but i'm tired when i wake
because i just can't seem to stop the ache
that lives permanently

target practice
quivering, ecstatic
back and forwards
adjusting to my vision
in an attempt to
(outwardly)
stare someone down
but always
(inwardly)
turn around her frown

unjustifiable ******

i finished writing;
took a sip of my drink.

it's gotten cold.
like your promises, all those words.
the i love yous that were forced,
all the lies that weren't untold.

i'm no stranger to them, at all;
by now, i expect you've been told
of my double facade,
my words to uphold,
and maintain in italic
but also in bold.
i scream, directly, at my lungs
and your toes
'cause i can't seem to look you in the eyes,
not anymore.
