I don't know how to feel
It seems this isn't real
Our love so deep for years
Ended with bruises and tears
Now you're gone and dead
Relieving my feelings of dread

No more reasons to be afraid
No more asking me to get laid
No calls in the middle of night
No more arguing and fights
It's hard to be so sad
When what's gone is the bad

Yet, my love was deep
Your future I wanted to peep
Improvements I noticed were made
Can't make progress from the grave
So now I sit here bemused
Devastated. Relieved. Confused.
The father of my children was tragically murdered by some random mugger. I miss him and I'm glad he's gone. Terrible......I know.

I didn't understand you. I didn't understand your silence.
Your eyes always light up in the moment but it seems to go away
I used to think you were selfish, and that was a bad thing
You taught me that selfishness is beautiful
Emotions are beautiful

We are meant to hurt
And when we do, embrace it.
This is your life and these feelings are meant to be felt and alive
Be selfish
Don't wrap yourself in drama
Live in the chaos of your own mind
Bitter, why is my heart so harsh
Soaked up inside the dark
Taste dipped inside black coffee
Unforgiving from the very start

Alone, pushing away society
Never understanding inside of me
What is this feeling that drowns me
Will it last an entire eternity?

Feeble, not sure if I am other people
Pale, sick with a beautiful veil
Icicle hands melting away
Without much truth to ever say

Take me, goddess of nature bath me
I rather be rain or a rose all alone
Let the clouds take me, build me a home
I’m tired of wanting to be all alone

Not even
the devil himself
can outrun
his own demons.
i.
haunted houses. we are haunted houses- skyscrapers touching the sky with our fingers, holding dreams in our palms, praying no one looks inside of us, through the windows.

ii.
inside lie broken people, staring out, looking for someone to see them, but still lying by the window.

iii.
when one pane of glass is all that keeps us from falling, it's easy to break the glass and jump. that's how i fell for you. (you know, reality hurts.)

iv.
somewhere along the way those dreams in my palms were used to wash the windows and the lost soul inside of me sees everything in a dream colored tint.

v.
i never wanted to be broken, or haunted, or in love but things happen and here i am, the person inside of me no longer inside of me. no, she fell too hard and broke too easily, for the beauty inside of you couldn't catch.
How do you explain
to people
who ask "what's wrong"
when really
it's nothing,
but your own mind
that's the problem?
