  May 2021 Splashes of Surreal

I wish people cared.
I wish people were there.
They're too fed up in their pretty relationships and lives.
They don't dare ask about mine
I want to hide
I want to one day be honest and say:
"I'm fine"

Her star is her spirit
Her heart is my light
Weather, far, or near it
Illuminates my night

She is beautiful
Like a tulip in a garden
If you water her
She will grow from bud to blossom

If you nurture her
She will let out a scent
That is both characteristic of her
And distinctly sweet

If you pluck it
Only to put her in a vase
She will still make you feel special
As she bleeds in the water
I had a friend who used to cut himself out of guilt. But, what it does is enhance the cycle of feeling guilty. You cut out of guilt, but feel guilty that you cut because you shouldn't like it. But, it feels "so good." I understand why people feel so bad, but cutting is never the answer. Neither is heartbreak an excuse for it.

The last line refers to something similar that happens.

you sit with me in my silence.
and that means more to me
than
roses and chocolate.

this guilt
it's eating me up alive
I was caught off guard.
Sunflowers lead us
Toward the direction
Of light, please don't pluck
