Untitled

by rubynemo

breath looms in an airless space the possible trace of us i spin in whirling cycles, trying not to let my thoughts overtake me / wishing the sadness could last a little longer / trying to sleep. it has been so long since i have experienced debilitating pain even when his whispers linger in threatening taunts even when i forget my own name let this happiness be eternal like an elixir of life, fueling like i always used to feel where did the misery come from? romantic projections. idealizing self-harm. keeping balloons here with me, on the ground, instead of letting them float away. i am not who i always was. i stagger and side-step on tops of beams of certainties. keep things too close to me. document every feeling. hold on to the pain. nurture the sadness i am getting quite bored now, goodbye
