Theme: Spiritual Abstract | The ultimate where words can reach
Note: selection will be through conscience
Did you know
That the waves of the ocean
Crash over themselves
In a shivering rush to marvel
At the glassy globes
Encased on either side
Of the bridge of your nose?
if i were to create a space for you to say the things you want to say,
what would you want it to look like?
would it be a dark, single bed, room with maybe that lamp that used to be in your grandmother’s living room when you were five?
cause there will be shadows and i need to know if you’d be ok with that.
or would it be a loft, up above your parents bedroom,
where the sun light glistens off the hard wood floors,
dancing with the dust that jumps up to greet you?
Crying,
deep, gutteral, gnarled crying,
ugly and cracked,
broken and chaotic,
forced up by my heart [sense of betrayal],
lodges itself in my throat.

Left so unjustly done,
stood up and abandoned,
because it was hung from a rope and left to rot.

For twenty three hours and forty five minutes.

Taunted.

And yet,
it feels

nothing.

My paper heart can feel Nothing at all.
i'm beginning
to memorize the soft meat
of your palms
and the gentle curve
to your knuckles
here we go
I'm not okay.
I can't speak.
It's hard to breathe.
My body is restless
But it can't leave the bed.
I'm crying without reason.

I can't even find the words and writing is what I love but you guys I'm losing my passion every day and I'm scared for myself.

I want to tell someone.
I want help.
But how do you tell
A stranger that
You're dying.
she doesn't love you.
and he loves another.
so maybe for tonight.
we can fix eachother.
hm.
