That I’d live
Each passing day
Like it’s my last.
Then I'd probably appreciate
each smile and teardrop more
I understand why they talk about a fine line.
It hurts my heart to look at you,
A physical pain
Manifesting in palpitations.
The western way to deal with pain
is to excise what hurts, what has malfunctioned,
What has gone bad within us.
In order to excise you,
I must force myself to hate you.
The alternative damages me.
I have to cut you out.

This morning
Outside my window looked like loneliness
6:58 am was a letter sent out to the darkness
"I wish you were here"
was written in the fog

I pretended it didn't look like the smoke
you loved to inhale
"I hate people who love smoke, because they love it for the wrong reasons"
"Which are?"
"They love it for memories, I love it for smoke itself"
I am guilty
I can't get enough of you to fill myself.

I am being myself for halloween
but no one ever guesses
I suppose I haven't perfected the art of adequately becoming a physical abyss

Inside my window looks like loneliness also
but we don't talk about that

Now that you're gone
I wrote this on halloween/the fog turned into rain clouds

her
Her love - The water
That keeps the garden in my
Heart, green and happy.
Cheesy as ****.

I haven't tried
Tried in so long
But everything is fine
everything is fine
and I haven't tried.
To myself more than anyone else.
