every morning in the light of the bathroom
the way the lighting cradles your soft skin
and how your gentle curves guide my eyes
i find myself in michelangelo's place
wanting to devote my life to knowing such beauty
and pour every ounce of strength into capturing it
for Mena.

I am just a concept.
shapes twisting, moving, changing,
taking on new and familiar forms,
fading and brightening, becoming new colors,
colors that may not even exist yet.
as one piece of me falls out of focus, another fills the void,
sometimes just shapes and colors, I'm unrecognized
other times, the shapes get smaller, more specific,
piecing together a collage of misshapen pieces,
ultimately giving the illusion of unity, of purpose.
i ask myself if how I'm seeing myself is how others do.
everyone pieces these shapes together differently,
creating a new being unique to them that i cannot precieve.
to them, i am those ideas, that shape,
and others can say what they see,
change what others see of me,
influence other's perception of myself.
to me, i am constantly changing,
constantly evolving,
the me that i can precieve is just a concept,
in that light i am just a thought, nothing more.
this was written before i knew i was trans. still one of my favorites.

I don't regret meeting you,
I just wish that I had knew,
what distance from you would do.

Even after just one date,
absence forms when it gets late,
wishing I could feel your weight.

My dream placed you in my arms,
we kept ourselves safe from harm,
you had me lost in your charm.

I awoke from paradise,
to find the room cold as ice,
you might be my truest vice.

Wishing you were really here,
I find a truth you should hear,
you make my fears disappear.

I've said my words, time is scant,
I'll wrap up my little rant,
Happy Birthday Arthur Grant.
Even if it can only end in tragedy, every moment I've known you has been filled with love in a way I never thought possible. I can't remember life without you, and being with you feels more right than anything else I've ever felt. The time we had on the bench proved that no matter where we are, you are my home. I love you.

Kinda more freeform than my other stuff, wanted to mess around with formatting.

A rock to build a home on lit
by lighthouse through the rain
Your snores my private lullaby
A sound to soothe my pain

The future doesnt matter
and the past weight heavily
Ill carry it forever if
You just stay here with me

Divinty isn't found in worship
But for you, I'll learn to play the bishop
I find no use in holy words or lands
but I found heaven with you in my hands

"Thank you for making these nights easier."
The words flowed from your lips over bitcrushed airwaves,
Your voice carried the weight of a broken sadness,
With the elegance and grace of the grandest choir.
A maggot finds its place on a beauty so divine,
Only able to destroy its own salvation as an act of worship.
Decaying flesh and bloating guts distort the truth of you,
A golden fawn bloomed into a king with a perfect crown,
But here you lie discraced on unholy ground.
Your blessing became my curse, so aware of my own inadequacies to be in your presence, desecrating all I touch for selfish needs.
And yet you speak such vile things.
Thanking me when everything ive ever touched as turned to rot.
Phantoms in my room blended with phantom harmonies,
The saturation in my chest eats every nerve alive,
How broken I must be for love to hurt this bad,
Vortex breaking up before its even fully formed by something so mundane as a tiny little snore

I'll never get used to the way that you treat me
The things that I've done were so harsh and i cant see
just what you see in me

Falling asleep you give praise, grace and kindness
Saying that I deserve this with your blindness
Of what I used to be

I dont deserve you, your kindness is not due
But even despite that i lie here with you
As you fall asleep

I hear your soft voice and i hold back my tears
The storms they have cleared for as long as you're here
I am yours to keep
this was written after falling asleep to the sound of your voice when I was still alone at night
