#repulsion
As we share our meal, as we laugh without care, I like to think that they are secretly - against their better judgement perhaps, and despite their best attempts to resist their inner urges - that they are secretly, at an almost primeval level, repulsed by me. But they'd never admit it as they smile across the table and say yes to desert.

Urges
there were oil stains outside his house where the car had sat like the stains, he bore marks little pocks that had worn on his face from a life he lived al a erosion though each scar, skin deep as shallow as the rest he felt best when they bled

Pulses
The ocean, I wonder; Does it ever regret? O’ how many lives has it taken? Maybe the sound of the waves that reach endlessly upon the shore; is a cry? A Plea? Does the sea regret. Does it regret all the lives it has taken? A force to be reckoned with it knows; it’s anger is as a mothers when a child is taken from her grasp. Does the sea reach out for the lands forgiveness? All creatures young and old, oh, how they fear her might. The seas sorrow is hidden in plain sight; Can't you see it? Can't you hear it? She is crying! She is full of sorrow and anger. Why do we hurt her more? Why do we seek to control and contain something so pure? Do you hear the ocean's melody? Anger, Sadness, Love, Hate, Compassion, Deception, Woeful, Kind, Desolate and Free. It's such an Amorous piece filled with her deepest thoughts and feelings. The Ocean's beauty O’ how it captivates the mind. A Sailor's dream; Repulsion A Birds ambition; Delusion A Child's fantasy; Nightmare Have you ever wondered if  the sea regrets? All the lives it has taken O’ how many do you think? Has been captivated by her beauty, only to think; such a Woeful sight, for thoughts can’t contain her endless crimes. Does the Sea regret, and the land hate? How many lives have we taken? Maybe our crimes are worse than the Sea? For we can’t even live in Harmony..

Magnets
you stained me like napkins you wipe around your lips, crumpled and thrown away. a lump in my throat some nights you set me on fire some nights you freeze me with your words i couldn’t walk away i couldn’t set things straight for each time i take one step forward i take two steps back. i made a thousand paper cranes inside my head hoping that wishes could somehow be granted because legends tell us so i guess legends are legends for a reason. i am not a phase of your life nor a moment that would just pass like days and nights i feel empty after you shoved the life out of me. i am not a jolt, a spark, that surprise you for a moment that’s soon forgotten i am more than a moment— i am an experience, i breathe life, i am capable of reading between the lines.

Repulsion
you ask, "why i haven't killed myself?" I. the day she died, i remember my father telling me there are millions of good girls out there then i realized, she was the one in that million and for her, i'll stay alive for another trillion II. my hope that one day, this pursuit of happiness will eventually peruse me to joy and success but i wear anxiety like a dress to the point i've made this whole 'killing myself thing' a mess III. for all the heartbreaks i've endured there will be one girl that invents the cure but i reject love to the point it's lost its allure and death is the only thing that has become sure IV. why i haven't killed myself? i am already dead. we said we'd grow up and meet in a coffee shop one day now you're gone and to see you again, my life would be the price to pay but you have reserved your soul in me, embedded like espresso in a latte push these pills away, and hear you whisper "there are other ways" V. i outright refuse to hear my grandmother's religion talk about suicide in an ignorant manner. i rather not be the talk of Christmas dinner and rather endure my aunt's repulsive dessert than become the devil's bread-winner. VI. why i haven't killed myself? i am already dead. i am finally starting to find love again and i'd rather the ink of this pen die before i enter Heaven's den. VII. i can't handle seeing my brothers at my funeral hear them whisper of all my "wasted" potential then see them leave to use drugs as their coping utensil VIII. i would get to see her again in heaven but she would bring my heart into a deep descend as she says "to me, you are forever dead." IX. everyone would speak about my sacrifice but i wear pride and it shreds my skin like knives and god forbid, i disappoint my loved ones before i end my life. X. why i haven't killed myself? can't you see it? i am already dead. i died the day she left and i'd rather my final words to her be the last thing i've ever said than a stupid poem about how i kept wishing i was dead.

The greatest of distances separated us, but being abrasive at best, our two rougher edges always sparked. Even when friendly, a side conversing of judgement and not-quite-resentment kept the parameters of conversation shallow and narrow minded. Deeper inference caused interference like static in my mind, and short circuits were common even in the most civil of discussions common to other circles. Round and round, wishes to connect and a secret bid for volatile collision kept us chasing, while a wary voice forced us to stay separated like magnets pushing and pulling. Never did two people hate so many common things and yet repulse each other so completely.

Magnetism, Repulsion, and Friction
out of the womb and into a suit the cords that connect us repel us too the more the reception the less the connection the more we discover the less we recover
