Shared tastes
From each other’s meal
Shared thoughts
Of how we feel
Hands feeling
The soft of our skin
Wiping away
Crumbs from our chin
Pulling on covers
A tug on each side
Changing the radio
While both on a ride
Lips licked
From another’s tongue
Deciding who
This time was wrong
Accepting fate
For time well spent
Memories kept
And what they meant
Small offerings
A cup or so
Keeping friendships
Of feelings we know
The frost’s bite is harsh on my pale face
Yet is made warmer by the presence of
Her, my cheeks fill with blush by her gaze.
Yet, the pain of an unrequited love

Lurks in the back of my mindscape, biding
It’s time, providing doubts and resistance,
The unforgivable sin of lying,
The mistakes of naïve adolescence.

But of adolescence I am no more,
So together we walk and together
We talk and together warm to the core,
Together a night lasts for forever.

As we wander through soft powdered moonstone
She gazes at me, fiery hair windblown
yet
I am not creative
Yet I create anyways.
I am not good at writing
Yet I do it anyways.
I have no shot with Her
Yet I try anyways.
I am not good at sports
Yet I play anyways.
I cannot keep a beat
Yet I play the drums.
I have no love for life,
But
I get up anyways.

Ember
Hands clenched so tight my knuckles turn white.

Face wrenched in tears.

Escaping breath not caught.

Rocking back and forth.

There's no reason. No rhyme.

Everything is closing in.

Noise is too loud and too quiet all at once.

I scream whispers of breath I don't have.

My body tells my brain I'm not okay.

My brain tells my body to panic.

My brain left my body.

I'm left in the crossfire of pain and terror.

I can't. Breathe. I can't fight. I can't do this. Please someone help me. PLEASE JUST HELP. I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE.
I just had the worst panic attack of my entire life and battle with anxiety
You were red,
I was blue.
You turn lilac whenever I'm near,
Then red violet when you talk to me.
I turn teal when you smile,
Then uncertain as indigo when you call my name.
Then yellow came around,
You turned orange.
I turned green.
Whenever you're with me I turn you brown.
Now I disgust you.
Now I ***** you.
I strip myself of the hues I've made.
Now I'm just black.
Devoid of anything, of anyone.
Of us, of you.
Combinations aren't even right
Why
Why do you Cause me so much pain
Why do I feel so drained

Why do you cause me so much angry energy
Will I ever be plenary

Why are you so mentally abusive
Is it because it causes me to be intrusive

Why do you blame me for all of the mishaps
Is it because you want to bust my kneecaps

When will you be satisfied
Will it be when I become fossilized

Why do you pretend to love me
Is it because I am off key

Traveler
If in giving
You shall receive
Would that not be
A selfish deed

Even though
The receiver
Of the giver
Didn't know

Did it not
Put you on
The street
Of gold

So we admit
We did it for soul
Both before
And after we go

Life is
Bat **** crazy
I think
    You know...
