And so I finished the letter And you too finished your text There may be good reasons, lies aplenty but in the end my irises grew like lilies. And so, it is over. Whatever I thought was going on I may be able to fool you once- but twice I cannot I gave you every 11:11, every foolish wish and cry My tears and crys, dedicated to you, when all I wanted was to die. Maybe, in another life, we could be whole. But something sits between us, yes, Whether be my sorrow or your hole.

no more wishes for me
I like my coffee really hot. Direct from the coffee machine, Freshly brewed and steaming skyward, Nonetheless to the nearby microwave, I digress, For 90 seconds of steam room added bathing of my mourning Coffee, bathing in a Vincent Van Gogh almond blossomed mugging During said 90 seconds, I flutter and putter among the kitchen countertops, hithering and dithering all about, wiping, swiping crumbs of prior day's excessive remaining excesses, carcasses of grains and grams, fruits and vegetables, restocking coffee beans, watering said machine's infernal thirst for double pure ground water, ect. etc. etcetera all of the above takes a little over a minute, whence I return to my still pre-re-intializing heating microwave clock is  advising twenty four seconds till my additional brewing will be finite finished… gawd, what the heck am I supposed to do for the next 24 seconds besides rock back-and-forth watching my coffee cup turn Vinny's almond blossoms slightly more yellow? Nah. the internal ding resounds, with a write a poem dummy! and so I did, even if it ain't exactly short and sweet or more pissy than pithy Ha! while dashing off this scripty nitty gritty writy, guess what? my cafe au lay grew cold again, and so  the poem repeats itself...grrr... now, me extra very hot & pissy

Sadness on both sides
You said, "Together forever". When did forever become so short ?

Lie
We met in a beautiful way, But we didn't know that we're both cursed. There's many things I wanted to say, But the Separation came first. At the beginning of the journey - Me, At the very end - You. We're both stuck, don't you see, Our shadows are lurking, that's true. So, pushing ourselves away, We're both losing each other. I will trust the Universe, To break the Curse from one another.

Beautiful Curse
many of us know this date many of us probably dislike it because... good words, likes and hearts were deleted. so i disliked january 11th until i figured that god (others tend to call it "karma", "fate" or "the cosm") is testing me. every trial strengthens the spirit of a fighter.

two statues
where do mattresses go when they leave your home? do they hitch a ride back to Oregon that place that you only pitched as an idea for a funny road trip but never actualized instead the map with all the pins of the places you've visited has become the places you'll go and now it's slanting askew   because your sense of perception is always a little crooked do they sit by the curb of a dilapidated 7-11 and watch everyone give them bedroom eyes is there such a thing as pining or are we naturally drawn to the new? something foreign that can be learned with time and patience but the patience runs out like the water in the bag where that fish you won at the fair came in and when you got home there was only plastic and the rubbery upside down belly of fish scales in an airless vacuum do they enter through the window and shimmy under the other dusty things in the attic? Do they make themselves at home telling you stories of everything they've seen and don't you wish that the guests always stayed longer than you could hope for but forever is not in your cards, it's not even in the receipts you horde in the kitchen drawer forever is stuck under the couch but you never check because it's easier to just sit and think about it

a dancing girl or the turning of your hand
Raindrops, water plops, let’s go see the ocean. Let’s go skip a stone 14 and 11. Let’s go find a way so we could go to heaven. Raindrops, falling on my face. Raindrops mixing with my tears. Tears falling into the water well. Rose gardens, little girls picking them carefully. But the rain is falling, and the girls are crying and the roses are wilting. The wind is crying and I am crying and the well is crying and the roses are crying. Raindrops, water plops, let’s go see the ocean. Let’s go skip a stone, 14 and 11

Chaos in the Rain
It is Spring, and you look at us, take a picture in the cherry blossom dress, surrounded by your friends. Summer nights when you look at one of us in the bathroom, grin and laugh at your drunkenness. We smile back. The leaves fall and you’re alone, your breath fogs the glass in front of us tears sliding down “I'm dramatic”, you say. If we could tell you something new, it would be that we are there for you. no one has seen you like we have, checking your mascara before your dates, glancing in bathrooms when you feel overwhelmed, before those college interviews, sending pictures to the boys you like that moment right before you cry. Chin wobbling, lip teetering— do not be afraid. We are crying with you.

reflecting
As I stare into the void, Of a world I cannot hold. I Escape now from that world, From the world of feeling. There is nowhere I can turn, There is nowhere to go on. Want to be the one, To speak her name as mine. Stars in the daylight. Sun in the moonlight. If Only.

Note 11: Stars
_If you're looking for a reason not to **** yourself tonight, this can be it._ Sometimes, we feel as if nothing matters. We all do. So i made a list of a few of my own reasons, 13 Reasons Why I'm still alive. And hopefully you'll change your mind. Those moments you feel happy, and nothing but lucky. And you wish nothing will ever change. I will try my best. _Reason 11, Hostage._ Surprisingly. It's really not like me to be so mean, You're all I wanted. Nature changes, You left my mind. And someone else entered it. I don't know what feels true. But this feels right, So stay a sec. Yea you feel right, So stay a sec. And let me crawl inside your veins. I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain. Hold and hidden, By my own hostage. Kiss me until I can't speak. Let me listen to your voice. And let me drown in your words. Want to be the one, To speak her name as mine. Changing sentences into the same. Hold and hidden, By my own hostage.
