I love you to the edge of the galaxy and back, but it is never-ending. you mean what the sun means to us, you are beautiful, bright, and keep me alive. you do tend to burn at times, harsh, warm, sometimes the pain is good, other times not. i love you but sometimes i lose myself in that love. sometimes i use it to barricade myself from reality, and sometimes when you break that 4th wall i will spiral. but i need to learn i must not depend on others, it will bite me, soft gnaws become flesh-deep. I cannot depend on you, and i must learn the hard way. we will make mistakes, and it is always a breath of fresh air, a timestamp -- worldwide, to a burn of realization. i sought out reassurance, where you weren't aware it was sought, you tried your best, and i do not blame, my tongue is best kept a bay, for if i tried to express, i'd dump, and bite, and scratch with each scathing word, unintentionally tearing at our love, and i must resist, because i love you. i won you, i will learn to adjust i tried to make intents clear, that i did not take interest in that, i even cleared up at it, and it did not work. i was afraid to comment, out of fear you'd get mad, you told me you wouldn't, but you snapped earlier, you apologized of course, but it planted a needle of doubt, should i or should i not? pushing was too risky, i do not walk eggshells around you, but at times, past experience stares me down -- searingly, daringly, 'go ahead and test the waters.' but i've seen where it gets me. i try to ask, and attend, and help -- but you close yourself down, "We tell each other EVERYTHING!" is that so. .? bit hypocritical, but boundaries are walls of white sheet, one stain is ever-lasting, and i love you, so i do not pry, and i stay attentive and careful. it is very irritating, but i shall keep my tongue a bay, or it will lash, and i shall not become one that i was before. for i love you, hence i would never intentionally try, to cut you open and dissect your dismays, because i love you, and because i'd never want to hurt you how i've hurt others. i love you so much. i hope to never ruin our relationship, so i write here, where i speak in words, careful to depict, but not enough to be direct. i love you.

my screen is *****
sunday on a saturday afternoon   fills my lungs with soda taste longing   flinging through words never said   to spit out of my head   here i lie on the bedding sunday comes around   to feed me to the ground   silence waits til i turn to say ‘i found you’ saturday sun on a sweet afternoon   week full, ate up my work til i threw up on you     what was that last thing we spoke about? like,   just wait til it ends   just wait til it ends   sun sat day to wait til it ends and then you know like   it starts on a friday night   we’ll tie our hands together   over our new tv   we’ll watch the stories as they play of a life worth living past sunday   life worth living past sunday

while waiting to move in with you
fine then. i'll forgive a memory and condemn a feeling. the arteries bloodless fingers squeezing an expression silent. press into gumlines - remind enamel no recastings will remain at the end of this.

throwing myself out the window
Why did you toss me out the back door like yesterday's trash? Sweet moments swiftly kicked far from your life without a second look or thought Something innocent at first grew to be such a ****** excuse for a relationship You cannot ever undo your mistake I will never let anybody else throw my love away ever again

Yesterday's *******
I try to do the best I can Yet everything still falls apart I end every day with the same problems Working their way through my heart Talk but you are distracted We never find a solution Stress poisoning the air around us We keep breathing in pollution Just keep ignoring the damage Acting like we are fine Blind to fact we are tiptoeing Dangerously on a thin line Me pretending that I don’t notice How close we are to the edge You don’t seem to mind the risk Associated with the ledge You listen You attempt to understand Why I live with such fear But can’t change the speed you move at Or switch into a lower gear Don’t hear my worried murmurs Cries fall upon ears rendered deaf If you continue wheeling and dealing Soon nothing will be left Destroying me one piece at a time As you throw your potential away Hoping in time you will see the truth Before it’s too late to stop decay

Unnecessary mental stresses are meant to be thrown away like dilapidated shoes.

Untitled(4)
A bloom of sunshine in a day Playfully, picking up flowers for a fine treat The paint of pastel that allures eyes A sort of smile, a kind of way Of a certain imagination of a happy gray This will end a premonition for a day A messy room for such a baby Waking up, staring at a mirror; saying, "You're a child"-- quite deceitful to look at it Starting the day with a thing Seemingly, suspicious to talk about A delighted grace dives as i open the door A place condemned of mockery and derogation Sought as heaven for bullet heads I stood on the crack The party begins with a slap Raise a cup! Raise a cup! Green faces hover the floor Crawling for legs, it's for sure All come to see my beautiful My rose, my bad Skin as baby's lips An adorn, i tremble Carried me into the woods One night, a filthy paradise A job to have it inside Pour with sweat over my body Strangled my garments to shreds Shackles, chains, ropes Arms stretched, legs loose Bend over 'til a joint injects It is a norm for me Oh how, why it shuts me Please daddy, don't you grab me As a prize, i puked 'em all An illusion of running, always cuts me My reward can't give me toys to play A thousand compliments I put on my dress While they see nothing on me It thrills to call me pretty Well indeed, I was trained As a subject to pet a doll They ask me if i want a candy Who would ever thought, I was the sweetest candy I know, it would be like this A history of my shattered daydream My haunted misery Behind beauty is a lost innocent child I am pretty baby Oh why they throw me?

Where do you go when my presence is not there? The absence of my gaze Who's eyes get captured in a stare? While you mouth the word "always" What do you clutch when you're scared? My hand too far away Wonder how well you'll fare On your own when skies turn grey Does someone gently stroke your hair? Are you genuinely okay? Is it difficult to breathe air? Body caught in a craze When we are apart are you even aware? That next to I no longer lay? Am I nothing more than spare? Part to use then throw away For who do you pretend to care? With constructed words you say Many times you have said "I swear" Unsaid it the very next day Please answer the question "where?" Where does your heart wander when it strays?

_Spin, Mister Fisherman, Throw me a line; A fluttering lure of burnished vowel chimes Bait, braid and bailor - snap, swivel and fly; Dub well your quill, Hook me low, Run me High_

You gave me a watch You said “check the time, When we meet again It’ll be different on mine.” But I threw it down And you hugged me tight Yet I still didn’t want To say goodbye. The dust has settled I know you’re gone But still I stay strong But still I go on.

I have a rock With my name on it And one for my father And one for my brother And one for each of the boys Who broke me They are grudges I carry with me Heavy in my pockets One step away From the cement blocks Tied to my feet Someday I will throw these grudges As far as my body will allow In hopes that they land in water Less shallow Than the names on the rocks

always throw caution to the wind for a life well lived, for I did not, and lived a life well-lied always throw caution to the wind our life in this realm is short-lived, no bigger than the size and brevity of our divine sparks existence always throw caution to the wind long winters and short summers recalled on paper, have you not realized that mere gods worship immortal men, our gloried markers, our stories, our ephemeral skin - forever always throw caution to the wind jump in after it, the winds course is a buffeting, head knock heading, breeze, gust, gale and storm, a recovery chance of chances, a tourney where the thrill of the unpredictable toss is not a simple head or tails, but a slot machine of innumerable outcomes randomly optimized always throw caution to the wind the life irregular is the normative, the outcomes always positive, this is the only thought that should ever provoke - be wild but not crazy, think clearly and dare define safety on your own terms, your own odds calculating, sew your own net,, pick your wind and as a parent, always dress appropriately for I am still crazy after all these years

almost a haiku
Give me a choice One immunity It will not be Pain I still need Something to remind me I'm still just a mortal Need saving If I gave you The choice To live or Die You would choose live But I would choose die Cause I don't know What's going on But I want to know I'm not immune To reality Throw me away I'll bounce right back This home I've made I know won't last I just Don't want To be Invincible
