darkness
chris Oct 2015
she locks herself in her room,
closing all the curtains and
whispering to herself,

"why did you have to leave?"

she walks toward her desk
and opens the bottom drawer
and it reveals a
                           razor

she carefully lifts it
and whispers into
darkness


                       *"only for you, my love"

"take your time but please tell me the secret on how to be better. I am the night sky and a dimly lit room all in the same sentence and I don’t really know where to put the period. some days I am better and I’m here with this abundance of love in my heart and the other days I am all alone and no way to cope with the sadness. give me the grass stained jeans and give me the love I used to feel but not while in the arms of others. I’m not alone but sometimes I am. let me learn how to cope with the bad days and let me learn how to find comfort in my own arms and my own bed and then I swear I can give them the best parts of me after that. let me learn how to feel innocent and lovely again. let me learn how to heal again. let me learn."

remember?
chris Nov 2015
do you remember
the night we drove
out into the inked darkness
until the hum of the city
evaporated into contrails streaked above us
like some ******* canvas
that night i looked up at the sky
and its infinite display and i said,
"doesn't it make you feel better to
know that you're made of stardust?"
and you laughed quietly and replied
"you'd rather be up there, wouldn't you?"
and i think that's when you knew
i would be always tripping over things
because the ground didn't interest me
in the slightest.

i do not love you for your                                                
strength and grit, for your set jaw,
for the hard cartography of your knuckled
fist. i do not love you for your
sharp corners.
i rub your tensed wrist like
a pliant mouth, i wait for spread
fingers and vulnerable palm: a
hollow nest to dream in.
i want the hurt you soother like an
ulcer in your mouth, your night terror,
your ra-eyed vulnerability: these
unarmored parts which
are mine alone.
darling, you are not at war.
slow down, breathe deep, drop your guard.
no one is chasing you but me.

scene
chris Nov 2015
you know what,
at one point
he probably did
love you back
but he was just
a boy
lacking courage,
inferior to pride,
silent of words,
and
stagnant with change,
both too afraid
to embark on opportunity,
to embrace life.
so life flew by
and together you died
while alone
you lived.

spring
chris Jun 2016

how can you say you know me
when you’ve only seen my skin
and not the untamed world i hide
thats growing deep within
you haven’t heard my ribs all creak
behind each plaited vine
or swum beneath the waterfall
that cascades down my spine
you’ve not been here for long enough
to watch a new life start
or find the run-down cattle
lying just inside my heart
you haven’t climbed the branches
that are wrapped around each lung
swaying with the breezes
that come dancing past my tongue
don’t mark me with your footprints
if you plan to leave soon
and only want to know me
when my plants are in bloom
because the birdsong might be pretty
but its not for you they sing
and if you don’t think my winter is too cold
you don’t deserve my spring

weight
chris Nov 2015
my friend told me
today that i might
have something
called,

       (n)     Pocrescophobia.

which means the fear of gaining weight.

i always had a
problem with
eating. i never
wanted to eat
that much,
because i was
always worrying
if i would get fat.

i'm 173 cm tall
but i weigh less
than 50 kg.

people say i'm underweight

but to me, i'm heavy.  
                         fat.

you guys might think
that it's sick for me to
think that way but it's
the way i am. i just
watch my weight a lot.

it's not that i'm anorexic
or anything like that, it's
just i watch my weight
really carefully so i don't
go over a certain amount
of kg.

just putting it out there but
if you have the same problem,

you're not the only one.

falling
chris Sep 2015
i feel like I'm falling through the air, like I'm weightless, falling down, down
falling through a bottomless pit.  no one is there to catch me'
or stop me from falling. i just keep going down, down, down.
come to think of it, i had a dream like that yesterday.
my dreams are weird. i don't feel scared or anything
i feel free when i dream like I'm in another dimension, another world.  where i can be myself, and not follow rules.
i don't have to worry about people judging me.

grandma
chris Oct 2015
my parents and i had
a conversation about
my grandmother.

she had passed away
two years ago because
of breast cancer.

she had suffered through
breast cancer once before
and survived but when
she got it again, she was
weaker.

the saddest thing was
that at the same time,
her daughter was asking
her for her money.
            her money.

because she didn't have
enough to make herself
happy.

her son visited her when
he could and helped her
when she needed it.

but it wasn't enough.

because while her daughter
was asking her for money,
her son didn't pay attention
to her feelings. no one did.

she started to lose the will
to live. the motivation to live.

she chose death.
she chose death over life.

she chose death because
there was no point of living.

she chose death because
nothing was getting better.

i miss my grandma.

to be loved

im curious.  im just curious to what it feels like.  im curious to what pain feels like.  im curious to what love feels like.  love is not always happy, sappy, romance.  but its also not always sad, depressing romance either.  its a mixture of both.  and i wonder and am curious to what it feels like to stumble upon love and wander through it like an adventure that is waiting to be discovered.  love that has not yet been identified.  love that hasnt been touched.  i am curious about love, despite the pain or stress that might catch or grasp me along the way.  i am curious about how to love someone.  how to share the connection as one might call it.  how to be loved.
