The alarm poisons my ears
the cold shower tortures my body
the coffee burns my tongue
the newspaper shatters my mind
my boss steals my crown
my co-workers play blind

My keys plays an awful jingle
as I try unlocking the woody door
door swings open, my jaw meets the floor

Your eyes greet mine
everything's fine
I hug you tight
over your shoulder, my dull room
looks all the more bright

Be it the sidewalk of New York
Penthouse of Rome
only you my dear make me feel
like I'm coming home

I get told i don’t think

But I’m thinking right now

I think all the time..

Constantly my brain won’t stop

I’m writing these words down that come to mind to try and sort it all out but it won’t cease

I can’t stop thinking

Words are rushing onto the page like a pipe thats about to burst

I keep trying to patch the hole but more water seeps through..

More words.. seep through

Consuming my thoughts till it’s all that I’m made of

All that i think of

There’s always yelling, there’s always fighting

I walk away from my mom and into the other room so she can calm down

The tv..

It’s loud..

Yelling..

I walk into the next room searching for peace

The dogs..

They won’t stop barking..

Yelling..

I walk into a room where there’s no noises, no people

But my mind..

It’s loud..

And yelling

Today was not a good day.
I knew from the cracked glass,
The torn dress brushing my skin,
Memories left unlit.
I woke in a field of ruins—
Limbs weak, breath heavy.
Behind the trees: a stray dog,
Black as the edge of dusk.
Its gaze seized my insides.

Slowly, we reached a garden.
Silence settled between us
Until the dog whimpered
A sound like drowning,
And anger swelled in me again.

Today was not a good day.
It worsened, as the garden bloomed backwards.
I remembered golden lights,
Laughter that almost felt mine.
Shadows of us dancing 'til dawn,
The world, for a moment, paused.
Sweet relief, how I missed you so.
But grief leaves leftovers.

My hands had torn through debris,
My thoughts ruined every party.
All that remained was the dog,
A burden I’ve carried all my life.
When will I stop letting good things die?

Today was not a good day.
But the dog stayed, patient as always.
I promised to find it a home,
Somewhere beneath my heart of stone.
But for now, I’ll learn to let go,
Even though time keeps slipping,
And all I do is remember.
I fear to say
The truth of the matter
I kept myself closed
For quite some time
The fear of losing
I've kept my door open before
The room my heart lies within
Open for people to view
Easy access to
Grab
Hold
Cherish
Well once twas a possibility
After watching several
Yes several
People play carelessly with it
My heart can only take so much
Well I have spare keys that
I may pass out but
I am very weary of you
Will you accept the key
Will you try to run with it
My heart is hard to track
It takes me so long to locate it
But I'm willing to try again
Here you go
Here's the key
The room is a little messy
No one has been here
Except me
If I clean it
I might just be giving you
An easy route to steal
Or if we clean it will you
Protect it
Or
Am I going to just be searching again
Well
Here we are
You have the key
The door appears
So how about you
Come right in

tea drinking
my mind is budding with all this thinking
of the future, of the past
but the present is all i have
i sink into the beauty like a swimming pool
i escape into the forest and find the moon

It was before dawn
and she was never seen again.

We had often wondered about her
and her wild impatience,
her passion for holding
life’s burdens and treasures equally lightly,
for dropping and gifting them
with devout fervor.

Nolle leapt out of a window
and left her bonds behind.
We woke to her whoop
and smiled at the echo of her song.

Nolle leapt out and we wondered -
what would it be like
to crave life that much?

you know that feeling?
when your heartbeat
just quietly moves
into your ears
your throat
your ribs
your skull --
like it's trying to upset you
or escape,
but you're the one
trapping it.

i felt it
when she brushed my arm
it was an accident -
maybe not..
i don't know
but my chest went loud
my heart beat picked up --
not fast,
just loud
like every part of me
was pulse
like it was screaming
for everyone to know
i was alive.
it was loud.

i could feel it
in my teeth
in my fingertips
in my stomach
my organs jumped
like i swallowed lightning.

it wasn't love --
not yet.
but something in me
already knew
how loudly she could make me feel
all my emotions flooded me at once
and it was just
a light touch.
this feeling is everything all at once, and it's scary

A knife she liked
The cards she hides
The truth in her words
Often never reveals the pain
Talking doesn't make her better
Just drove her to the memory lane
Nothing is worth the time
The redness of her own shines
The time froze the thoughts
Do you feel the haunting threat of thoughts?

A new lie to live by
A kind one you would not mind
Sleep to the whispers of her voice
Hear it in the depths of the voids
Blood bath you had taken
Just don't make her bleed to her rest
Alive and agile
Glittering in the pale moonlight
Shine through the broken hides
A darling of midnight

Different from her peers
Loved to volunteer
A lovely reflection
Torches were already bare
Hum a familiar tune
A kind of no one remembers or dreams
Chant from time to time
If she never came
Then that's goodbye

The child I thought I grew up from made an appearance again....
Flip the page
That's what it feels
I'm doing
But right now its
Blank
I can't turn back
But its blank
I can't turn it either
Finally it catches me
Letters are forming
They have been
Only I can now
Finally see them
How long must I wait
On I know
I wonder where
This New Chapter takes me
