You didn’t like it.
My rejection.
Your rejection.
My rejection of your *******
Rejection of your ejection.
You  didn’t like it.
So , you rejected me.
You ejected me,  
From your being
You
Rejected my offerings,
My laugh,
My traits,
My whole.
Me.  
All of me
You shunned
Would you have liked it
Had I accepted what you ,
Unsheathed, would the rejection be reversed
Or would it be stalled.
Until the ejection,
Then subsequently the
Guaranteed rejection
Of the whole,  
The rejection remains
And we part ways
Ejected,Dejected.
You seemed to like it then

I'm fine. 
That's my default answer. 
My answer to all the "how are you?"
How are you? 
That's what they usually ask. 

The question that I don't really know what to say. 
The question that I don't even want to answer
No. The question that I don't even want to hear.
That's why I just say "I'm fine."
I say I'm fine but I'm not so sure about that.

Some days I'm happy
Some days I'm positive 
Some days I'm a ball of sunshine
Full of laughter, smile, and cheerful vibe
Full of hope and full of love

But then dark days would come
Dark days when I feel gloomy
I feel sad
I feel like crying 
I feel like giving up
I feel hopeless 
I feel rejected 
I push people away
Days when I just want everything to end

A friend of mine once said that I'm a ray of sunshine
The one who can lighten up the mood and everything 
The one who's always cheery and happy

But you know what?
I don't think the same. 
I guess I'm more like the dark cloud. 
No, I'm a thunderstorm.
My mind's a storm. 
It's a mess. A complete mess. 

But I can't say all of this. 
I won't say any of this. 
No one would believe me.
So, instead, I'll say "I'm fine."
I'll pretend to be fine. 
I'll keep pretending.
Because that's all that matters, right?
People just need to hear those three words. 
"I am fine."

so passionately
rejected me.

Miserably, I'll cling to the fading moments
I spent with you in my bed.
Fed up with things ending too early, I'll constantly
be fending for those soft touches and empty hushes.

Empty.
What a word to describe how I feel knowing you'll
be gone by Sunday, without waiting for me to heal.
Monday will come and my heart will shudder.
Flutters, that soft, delectable feeling that I felt in my stomach
will drop and stop, halting all pleasantries.

Finish
me off with one last kiss,
Make me miss
you until I fade from the confusion.
The pollution
that you have caused to build up in my chest
Best be worth the final touches you caress
onto my skin.

Sin-fully,
I'll compare your clear brown gaze to the
murky lust, dirtied by others.
I wonder if you ever had any room under your covers.
I wonder if I ever had any pull on you, ever.

Never,
Ever
will I ever want to weather that weather-y storm you've
measured with buckets of rain
painfully, locking onto my chest
glued to my teeth
Mistaken.
Misled.
My soul feels erasably unfed.

I bled.
I bled. I ******* bled when you held me in my bed
and the words of your utter denial
Cried out between us, causing a separation
I wanted nothing to be with.

God, just three weeks. That's it.
Three weeks, peaking my emotions to their
utter, serene, intoxicating HIGH.
My, what kind of magic have you poured
into my veins.
I didn't think you could ever be the cause of this much
Pain.

Wait.
I didn't want to be another one.
For me, I've always been the detached one.
The one with a dismissal attitude, a missile
of self-confidence and independence.

Impermanence was all you were ever offering.
While I always was offering you my everything.
Foolishly, albeit. Albiet, foolishly.
I'll be it. I will be it. I swear it. I'll be yours.
But **** it, you don't need it.

So?
Now what?

...

I'll go back inside and recreate
that tall, thick wall of utter
strength and unwavering singularity.
Single.
No more tingle in my bones, woe me.
Woe is me, all right.
Hope for me, that I can fight with all of my might.
If only I had the power to push you away
before it's too late, before I hate even a cell
of that specific date.
May. Thirteenth.

SUNDAY.

chasing a sunset
beauty at my fingertips and so far away
the distance between love and circumstance gives out blisters on my heart like prizes
congratulations on finding something so bite-your-tongue tempting
when a tree falls in the woods and im there to catch it, does it fall into my arms
does it make a sound on its way in another direction
drown me in a citrus glow, like pineapple syrup, like a homecoming song
****** if i do, ****** if i dont
if i could kiss the horizon and hold her hand i would make myself into a bird or a mountain or the air itself to reach the bridge between earth and sky
i would learn every language under the stars so that my tongue never ran out of ways to beg for light
i am a shapeshifter in the form of a question
teach me how to be yes
i just want to hold someone again

It physically hurts.


I thought about you leaving,
Ten minutes ago.
Do you have any idea when these tears will stop?
I thought about telling you that I love you,
But I know if I did,
You would be gone.


I thought about giving up
And never again getting out of my bed.
I think I should stop thinking about you.
I have lost too much.  I can only see the end.

Oh how I wouldn't mind wasting time
changing and growing by your side
like two grape vines finding purchase on
each other's shoulders

moving sideways against old fences
of trauma and borders

Oh how I wouldn't mind
growing wrinkled and saggy
if only if you were by my side
feeling time pass us by


Oh how I want to hear you laughing
Oh how I want to be there for you
when you feel sad
when you cry
I want to be your anger
when the world seems like a ship
wasting away without an anchor

Oh how I would give certain parts of myself
to move with you
in seaweed like motions
across our ocean floor.
soft sweet sand
dripping away from my shoulders
how the sea meets the land
even if we only dance
alone
On separate shores

Cause a world without you is
a world not worth seeing
too dull
unimportance and perfection glimmering
a shallow surface and purpose

and dangerous
more than any storm or cave
that we could tangle through
the fact that maybe
you might just leave me behind

and I'd have to suffer through
knowing there is a world
with and without
you.
