you know,
people are kind of
like stars,
and not because of
the way that they
glow radioactive,
grant fairytale wishes,
or shoot across the sky,
but because of the
way that they
explode
into dust,
inhaling the broken remnants
into their black holes,
just like you drew my shattered pieces
into yours.

I know I'm not worried I'm just upset
Because he doesn't think of me
Because we dated for nearly a year
We were part of each other's lives and now there is a hole
It's fine and I'm over it but it is still there and I acknowledge it,
Accept it,
When he can so easily forget it is there
Not missing him exactly
I'm more jealous of his ability to not miss me
I'm not that upset
Frustrated would be a better word
Yes I know he is gone and out of my life but he isn't just gone
I acknowledge him
I can't help but wonder what his life looks like without me in it
Apparently it looks like Ireland
This was really different for me because this poem was actually inspired by a conversation I had with my friend. These are all my responses, but you will not see his responses. I thought the words I typed in reply to him were interesting when strung together, separate from his. I hope you enjoy :) please feel free to comment whether or not you enjoy this style! Just trying it out :)

I wear my heart on my sleeve,
My soul on my soles.
Every time I breathe
Cool air blows through the holes in my clothes.

made
me mad

I think,
There are people in your life that are so big, they take up space in your body.

Eventually,
You become a tangled mess- an amalgamation of pieces of you and them.

Then,
When they leave, they take those pieces with them.

Suddenly,
You are empty, there is a hole in the place they once existed.

And,
You can  never truly be full again, the space they took up was far to big.
i barely get ma palm pilot sized
   dear derriere i.e. gluteus maximus in the air
just a cat whisker across the DeMilitarized Zone
  (DMZ in military parlance),

   when the Earth shuddered from blare
ring fusillade expressed detonation
   issued by Kim Jung Un,
   whose craven dark excitement clear

motive predicated
   to lob Holiday nuclear missiles,
   and South Koreans (no matter
   mostly innocent victims), whelp hay dear

for siding, identifying, fraternizing, colluding,
   et cetera with the enemy (in general,
   the NATO bound countries) 'ere
really quiet, as preparation (H) gets made

   to bring out the big guns
   (actually shaped like a fleshy
   posterior man bun) in truth one
   dead reckoning sphincter muscle

   that doth flair
impossible to espy, cuz sieve
   all the flak whistling induce sing a glare,
but...the Hermit Kingdom got another

   bad a$$ bombardier deathly, stealthily quiet,
   hence released **** Jed
  eye ordnance impossible to hear
yet this silent deadly *** sass sin hated

   hard as a ribbed rock stainless steel
   guaranteed to wreak havoc, with loathing

which top secret (never bottomed out

   during test practice trials,
   whereat Johnny spot on)
   proved to vaporize underwear
and caused a "big stink"
   that lasted about one year.

what information divulged

else...any turn coats
   can not muster posterior haste,

   yet will need to seek out specialty
   of proctologist who doth rear

   blind sided immune to any prayer

so...upon confiding this tidbit,
   I strongly advise tubby not near
as you might already correctly guess,
   when while mooning Pyongyang

I'm full of holes.
You'll try to love me, everyone does.
They try to love me in so many ways.
They think that they can hold me and wrap me up and cover what's clearly missing.
They think that they can look past any gaps I have and focus on the parts of me that are complete and just never look elsewhere.
They think that they can fill the cavities with trinkets and treasures and gestures and words, words that turn out to be just as empty as I am.
They think that they can accept them and love them for what they are and I thought I could too.
But the reality is, they are holes and there just isn't anything there to love.
So no matter how much you want to love me, I will never be able to support you because I am brittle and incomplete. I will always leave people with the feeling that something is missing.
That thing that is missing is me.
Full of holes and missing parts.
You know when you feel you don't fit into this world,
When people treat you like ****,
You feel your neck tight,
that nothing you do is good, feels worthless.
You just want to cry,
You just want to disappear.
All these feelings revolt and you have nowhere to escape.
When it falls to the bottom and there is no one to hold your hand and you just smile because it is the only chance to stay alive.
When the voices bring you down.
This world is unfair people of your blood. I gave up.
No one understands or ever will understand is like a mouse in the wheel, a hole, times and times without count,a feeling of pain, hate....BREAKING POINT!
