"Please don't ever leave me."

And love, I never would have left — not for all the serene mornings unsettled by these shapeless thoughts. Not for all the sanest kisses laid gracefully on scarring skin. Not for all the storms that had dissolved into the calm. I never would have left you — not for the world falling away into a mess of sorrows while the sun watches from afar. But the street lights are spent and mornings are colder and my hands are bruised from picking up all the pieces that you broke.

Did you feel most alive when you were killing me?


Now in the silence, my poems mourn over a loss that isn't theirs.


And in the silence, you say, "Please, don't ever leave me."



And in the silence, I answer, "I wish I never had to."

Arc
you are there
you are here
you are where
you make me care
you cannot bear
you can bare
all those feels
all those that can't heal
we can cry all night
we can hug so tight
these wounds are forever
but my love will not be lost
never

xo

a song briefly says
time has a way of feeling
is it also for healing
is it also for being
for in the present
for in the absent
or can you just be honest

xoxo
Dante Rocío Aug 2020
I think I gave myself away, with a musician and, the name and the data
this world gave me and by which it holds me by.
Thought the clock struck midnight and the spell broke,
thought we’d return to the measly grey resuming.
As one deems things too good as untrue, the bitter more reliable despite its fake,
I scared myself that name would take my truer life away.

Yet then it came to me through
that whilst among these
trash bins we live in
things may work this way,

in a greater dominion and
our hopes, talks,
we know it is our will
and creation of our wonderland that
makes the reality and true identity.

There, I could have spilled
“Juliet” once,
but it rests as mere
fog under “Dante” I
gave space to
to be found and born.

There,
No harm done.
I’m at the turbulent Baltic Sea and reminisced my error during a conversation,
Yet he and I both know
It didn’t even come to be
As we keep ourselves as we want to feel
And not how our ID wants to keep.

(For now, my only, seemingly, cigarette poetry as I call it. Strange yet not binding.)

Cheers to all the lonely hearts out there! May we celebrate this loneliness together and rejoice in isolation. Our tears are not shedding in vain; the least we can do at this moment is craddle our pain. Hear the angels weep with us; none of us are truly alone. Time to retreat from the world and be one with the angels.

Give thanks to those that are appreciative to have you as a dearest and vice versa. Many people in this world are without those that love them. While many of you are in mourning, look up into the heavens and see how beatific your deceased loved ones are. They send you their love and wish you many blessings. When you cry, the family of angels are there by your side, surrounding you with their healing presence. Your heart is the fountain of youth; pour into those that need replenishment. I promise you that love will always and forever be the root that gives life to the tree.

it's almost midnight and i'm drowning in every ******* poem i ever wrote for you — in every ******* poem you'll no longer read.

i always dreamed about this —
meeting you again
in our favorite bookstore
and buying our usual authors
and getting paper cuts from ****** novels
just like the old times,
before the words all
fell out of the books.

i always dreamed about this —
neck kisses and i love yous
in a yard we'd call our own,
while the playlists we made
echo from earphones left lying in the grass.

i always dreamed about this —
listening to you recite poems
under the sky and the meteor showers;
then again darling, every prose you say
is my spoken poetry —
is my love sonnet written
for matilde urrutia.

i always dreamed about this —
getting lost once more
in the space between your freckles
and in the outline of your lips
and in the scent of your cologne
mixed with early morning petrichor.

i always dreamed about this —
about this very moment of seeing you again,
in mundane places
and maybe years later,
dreams can come true
somewhere in grocery aisles
and casual talks;
except in my dreams:

you're not wearing a wedding band.
you're not lost in the way that he smiled.

in my dreams,
i'll be the one opening the doors
and carrying the grocery bags,
and you'll not walk away
and leave so soon
while smiling back at him, darling
and while holding his hand.

in my dreams,
i'll still be the one saying i love you.
i love you.
i love you.

and you will still
say it back.

I woke up to a pitch black room. My eyes shot open from the nightmare I already can’t recall and I felt odd. The street light outside left a yellow glow over the neighborhood. I could just make out the house across the street and their porch light reflecting into my room. I woke up and my mouth felt heavy like it needed to unravel. My fingers hurt with imaginary pain of pressure being pushed against them and I didn’t know what to do. I had to be careful with my next moves. My breath came out fast and heavy. My chest expanded with the beat of my heart as I recalled how many breaths it would take to feel normal again. 257 my mind told me. I would feel normal again after 257 breaths with my tongue losing weight and my fingers losing pressure but that was a lie. I got heavier and heavier as I lay in my bed staring at the yellow streetlight paint the road. I was being choked. I had to get up. Had to stand. Or I would die. I would die in my bed counting my breaths with the weight of a thousand worlds sitting on my chest, on my tongue, holding my hands, choking me with 257 breaths left.

Some people get used to free services
They can be your friends or your acquaintances.
When you are too kind and helpful.
These fools think you will be there doing that forever.
When comes that one day you can't help them,
They will tell you:" You are never there" and ****...
I call them "favour abusers".
Pay attention, this is common when you are too utile.
Remember that your time is precious, you are not obligated to respond to their demands.
Or feel guilty to not have time.
Plus it is for free !!!
This is not a poem.
