Heaven rained on me,
I breathed in the petrichor,
Bathed in the downpour.

We fell in love by chance,
We stay in love by choice.

today,
i wore it again
and people complimented me
they say red is my color
and it suits me.

today,
it's too thick and dark
did i overapply
no, it's the right amount
just enough
to make them think
i'm fine.

today,
i look at myself
in the mirror,
and they're right
red shines on me,
so i applied
another layer,
and another
until my lips felt too thick,
but my eyes still see
the scars beneath it.

Talking to you
Sometimes
Is like screaming
To the wind
Touching mist
In one ear
Past a space
Out the other

I try to speak
Nothing sticks
I am mute
So it seems
Why is this?

I have found
Little things
Poems I wrote
Years ago
Where I found
The same thing

I cry out
To you dear
What response
Do I hear?

These words are for me,
For I'm the one who's hurting,
I'm just healing myself.

Seeing through my cracks, you had me undone.
This crystal clear heart of mine stays within and awaits your touch.
Uncontrollably, I shake out of desperation, I crave you connection and inner space.
We collided and intertwined worlds as you speak your words with silence.
I then trust you, you trust me, we then both die happily with no despair.
