I still remember that day. The unsettling unease.

The drive, I still remember the feeling of the cool air against my skin.

The silence of my phone. The increased rate of my heartbeats.

Something was wrong, I felt it as if the sky itself was telling me.

The memories that follow I can never unsee, as if it was stained perfectly in my mind.

That day my heart sank into the abyss.

If only I was sooner.
Can’t help but find it comedically painful.

might as well have poisonous chemicals poured onto my skin
since i want to rip it off
strip it off my body
pile it inside the trash
for the raccoons to go to town on

the body i came with
i want to send it back to the store
i want it to be returned
packaged away
return to sender

invasive species
on the layers of my skin
that i should be calling home
but i disown them
get this dead weight off of me!

Embrace this magical fairy tale,
Place me in your heart,
Hold me tight,
I'm yours as long you want me,
As the love lingers thru the air,
Kiss me slowly,
Our tongues intertwined,
where emotion rhyme with motions,

Love me like nothing else in this world,
We'll be in an endless dream,
Where nightmares never exist,
Keep me and forever I shall be,
Close your eyes,
Feel the heart become one,
Honesty of the night

I do not understand
How you unwrap my mind
And I no longer feel the ghost of hands on my skin
Of skin on my skin
Of ghosts
