oh honey,
i'm having trouble breathing
as the tears mix up with sweat
and the ragged breaths won't rest
i'm still trapped in this purgatory
between forgiveness and regret
or maybe
just disgust and resentment
when will this waiting
ever end?
it all started with
a night of poetry and music
between artists and lovers,
making music and art
like they do when making love
speaking in tongues and lust
even angst from their lungs
but i was with him
all through the night
when i knew
all i wanted was
to be with you
oh if you only knew
this silence leaves me blue
between lingering breaths
and cigarette smoke
i still yearn to be with you
so maybe it was the
excessive alcohol or ******** poetry
or maybe the live music
blended together in loneliness
and yearning
or is it the blank statement
against the white wall?
but this confusing as ****
my thoughts were swimming
in beer, nothing more
and at the very back of it
was you sleeping
but subconscious tried to
wake you up
poke you with what ifs
and what nots
i pulled out my phone
and let my loneliness overcome
didn't know it was wrong
like dominoes they all fall
one by one
realization built a spark
as my conscious came apart
tore my heart out the next day
i used the aftermath's blood
to write you an apology
filled with regret and dismay
29 hours after
i used my crafted letters
to sincerly construct
a sorry
but you said to wait,
until the demons go
until you find yourself
at peace whenever
you look at me
and i did. i did wait.
amidst the confusion and regret,
i'm still waiting for you
to rip my walls down
and envelop me in
your arms
but purgatory's version
of a painful torture is
in the mind games,
after all
setting up fires
that can burn you alive
keep in mind
what my mother used
to say about flames,
"don't set yourself
on fire
to keep the others
warm."

i've always admired
how a blank white wall
looked back into my eyes
how it reflects as
pure, whole, pristine
into my deep dark eyes
how it pulls out
another set of trigger
into my soul
about how it makes
so much sense
my mind is white
blank
plain
dull
until you set
this explosion of colors
with little time-bombs
e v e r y w h e r e
as if these hues
represent
the way we are,
or more importantly,
the way we're not
how these reds
that should indicate
passion
love
lust
***
impulse
but they won't
cover up
the whites
instead they wash away
like water
against these blank walls
as if
your love for me
was never real anyway
as if i was nothing
to be lost
to be thrown away
as if the greens blues oranges
can stay
but you were yellow
you covered up
so much space
so much time
as if it symbolizes
your impact on me
how i cannot forget
this rendezvous we have
once or twice
or just whenever
you feel like
how can you not
forgive me?
i never forgiven myself either.

you were my favorite
kind of 2am.
your violent breaths
smelled of cigarette smoke
your slurred words
spoke of theories in faith
your deep set eyes
swam in seas too blue
you ****** me harder
than *** ever did.
you smothered me in your supernovas
bathed me in your milky way
shaped me in each galaxy
fabricated me into your lunar eclipse
outshining every evening drop
i know your kind, darling.
radiate. stagnate.
soulmate. illuminate.
