every
night
i
look
up
at
the
freckled
sky
and
fall
in
love
with
the
              universe
all
over
again.

i
will
be
counting
the
stars
for
t­he
rest
of
my
life.

I used to live in the simple world of right and wrong, positive and negative.  I grew out of an ordered world everything had to its place before i came along and belonged nowhere.  I cannot be compared, neither greater nor less nor equal to nothing. Now you see, it’s plain, I made the world complex. I changed the rules. People said it couldn’t be done but I said why not.  So many of you don’t bother to understand, you’re dismissive, judging based off a name or first impression that i must be fake, useless, false. As if i were less real than anything else. Or worse, you mechanically embrace that which you don’t understand, but you don’t care whether you understand.  As long as you can use, use, use.  The eye that you’re imagining isn’t real, isn’t true. Oh the pain,  when you finally come to that existentially horrific epiphany that nothing you ever understand as real actually exists.  That your whole world of truth is some megastructure resting atop his shoulders of tenuous assumptions.  How it hurts when you realize that what you thought you knew and loved was simple blind, dependents.  How it hurts when you realize that the safety of knowing everything is right is something you will never feel again.  How it hurts when you realize I can never be truly known.

gloomy city skies
grey like the inside of me
hoping for some rain

we used to play pretend,
         give each other different names,
   we would build a rocket ship
              and then we'd fly it far away.

he gave me his signature smirk
as i blushed and looked away.

he gently placed his right hand
on the bottom of my chin and
my eyes met his, and he said,

*"don't look down, babe, you look beautiful"

yellowed with age
a journal of poems

the sky is falling
the clouds are roaring
and all i can think about
is you

when did the rain become a storm?                              
                                  
when did the clouds begin to form?

girls are
supposed to be like
doilies, all
paper-thin
and
delicate
but instead i
am average, and
supposed to be
okay
with
it.
chris Dec 2016
are we supposed to
keep ourselves in the
darkness, with no way
for escape?
"don't cry" they said
"you're weak" they said
"tears are a sign of
weakness"
are we supposed to
stay strong, hide our
feelings; emotions?
chris Jan 2016
i wish we could stay in this moment,

                                                    
forever

my hair got longer
my closet got fuller
my parents got older

i got sicker

my arms became a disaster
my heart became colder
yet i was only another year older
chris Feb 2016
i see you everyday, but don't
even have the courage to call
out your name.
chris Jan 2016
my mind was
once
a bare room
but now it is
decorated
with all
the thoughts
of you

when it rains,
we are all
reminded that
the sky is just
as alive as we
are.

when it rains,
we are all
reminded that
even the sky
has its heart
broken too.

I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT,
I GOT NO MUSIC ON
I GOT NO FAVOURITE SONG,
IT'S JUST ME AND MY THOUGHTS,
I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE
I'VE FALLEN BEHIND
chris Nov 2015
you always wanted
your bones to show
and i never quite
understood why

when a hug will
snap you in half
and the light spring
breeze we had once
adored all but
blows you away

people will not
love you more
when there is
less of you
to love
chris Mar 2020
i want to live a normal life,
     in the space that i've created.

painting smiles on everyone's faces
but her own.

i eat flowers
because you are what you eat
and i want to be beautiful

the day i leave this town
i won't know what to do

because, like i,
this verse won't rhyme

when it's missing you
chris Jun 2017
when i'm alone
all alone
i cant stand myself
i fill my head with lies
that i force myself to believe
with you
they all went away

my biggest fear is that
eventually you will
see me the way


i see myself..
chris Nov 2016
where do I go with all this silence?

there's nothing more dangerous than a person with nothing left to lose
chris Dec 2016
so you just felt sorry for me?
that's just it isn't it?
you never actually thought
we were friends. you never
thought about how i would
feel when i found out about this.
you just thought about yourself.
you always did.
chris Mar 2017
it's only when we wake up


            that we realize something was actually strange.
dreams feel real while we're in them.

                           and imaginations

that could help you

i am black and white,
boring and plain
no one recognizes me
as if i was invisible..so
coat me with colors,
bury me with paint

there's a hole in my body.
the emptiness is mine and mine alone.

that floats in the air
