So deep in your arms that I drown,
unable and unwilling to break for air,
completely bare
to you.

Hold me,
so tight I do not feel or see
the silent, dry eyed sobs which rack my body
Love me.
I don't even care if you don't.

Hold me,
if my illusion of control is gone
allow me to construct another,
let you be the stitching of a temporary plaster,
that I might carry on.

Hold me,
break free my icy barrier
let loose my tears, that I
might let go the years I have grown to.

Too fast,
Too soon,
Hold me so I might forget.
Don't remind me of what's real just yet.

Please.

today
God took one of my friends
instead of me.
and i will not
do what i wanted
now,
either.
because i cannot watch
one more family
feel this.
rest in peace, Isaac. i literally just saw you. i don't know if you went up or down, but you were here. God, why do you so badly want me alive...

Stone washed denim sky,
Tree limbs bathed in emerald,
Birds whistle, dogs bark.

Apathetic sloth,
Your whorish ways bring me down,
*******, filthy ****.
