it's like a string gets cut
a piece of hair breaks by the will of your fingers,
or the will of your scissors,
or just all on its own
what has grown into a never ending strand of canned up regrets
forgets its necessity and splits non-aggressively,
progressively but passively
half sinks, the other floats.
not a friend notes the difference,
but you know it's there -
or rather not.
you are one hair shorter,
one tear bolder,
it's getting colder but
you wear a little less.
take a look at all the mess
you made, trying to take care of dying hair -

it's all dead anyway.

trust that it knows when to leave.
trust that you'll known when to grieve
and when the sieve has done its grimy work
someday, it might still hurt.
but you don't need to make sure
it's tucked in every night
bed story and light
rub it's back, "it's all right"
it's all right
do not bite the hand that feeds you
or feed the thoughts that bite.
it's all right.

the string stretched out too tight

Manifesting are the worries you constantly put out
Infecting the mindset of the joyful.
Why are you so inconsiderate??
Play nice.
Stop being the sucker,
You can only drain so much from a person.
Like a leech,
You won't unattach until you are full and feel fulfilled for
your own pride and needs.

Here's to:

Shakey beginnings
and bitter ends
Peace pipe inhale
We bonding for the feel of it

We love the thrill
Of finding things
That undress our spirit
We love it so much

We made a skill of it

Peel another layer back
Unattach yourself
From comfy facets

We we weren't
                    willing to unravel
but
        We did
                                what we had to

Sappy for a sec

Let me react gradually

Without the need to rush things
My poems are about me,
About the world I created,
About the world that ceases because of me,
About the poverty of my belongings
And the richness of expectations.

That's why I write:
To put the blanks between the bricks,
To keep the sky at sight
Despite every ceiling,
To make of the bitter taste of despair
A pleasant journey.

Poetry is the slow death
Through immortality,
To unattach from life,
Making me less alive,
But eternal.

I love from dying bit by bit
For it is the closest to me I'll ever be,
The maximum to get from life;
The world is a world of ends,
Our wills reminds us of that,
As the sun or the constant now.

Poetry is to exercise the intensity through calm,
The transformation through the steady,
The moment through time,
To vanish every weight through the supreme weight.

Poetry is the victory
Of ink over men,
Of the possible over the real.

Go to the speaking moon
to fell the stars,
and to learn a way of becoming―
unbeing.

It was a rough ride.
How could you open the
fist of darkness
and see in absolute nihility?

Can you unattach me,
when I was seeking your pith
in my poems?

Come to me with unarmed
lies, to fight with my truths.
Life is very short and I have―
many things to do.

A simple cloth defined as a ghost.
I am heard from the occurrence in the waves.
The shadow that foreshadows my intuition.
What should I say?
I’m confused if I mean anything.
A human being or someone in the darkness.
I feel like I’m walking alone in the sand taking in the dust and the rain.
I almost doubt myself and my surroundings.

I wanted to go back home, but my soul stayed here.
I am used to it, but never as used to it as I know.
You thought you knew me and my life, but you only lived in it.
You lived in it and sunk once you uncovered me in deeper complexities.
I don’t think one realizes how safe I feel, but once I leave I feel no longer a human of myself.
Am I a human?
Once was a human, but turned into a void in the world.

A hole in my heartbreak handles the strokes painted on the wall and the paint I threw.
I didn’t throw it though I left it and someone framed me.
Became me and told me I wasn’t worth your time.
I didn’t know my thoughts mattered to you, I thought I didn’t matter anyways.
Not actively thinking like that with a timer in my head, but you reminded me to dig deeper.

Those words are the color to my black and white area of ****** hearts hit and flicked on the wall.
They told me I wasn’t worth your energy and time.
Told me I was different and sometimes you don’t know me.
Sometimes I barely know you, yet I attach to you.
How do I unattach myself and let go?
Is this normal?
Is it?

It doesn’t feel like that.
I was just stuck inside of my mind.
An all-black figure on the sidelines chasing you.
Now I’m looking at someone else, but I didn’t mean to be dramatic.
How to be what I was going to be when I did feel the emotions.
I felt positive energy.
I can’t easily put my feelings into words.

Yet I feel so held back on what I choose.
Do my choices matter to you?
My feelings matter to you?
My thoughts matter to you?
My heart matters to you?
Did it ever?
Did I ever feel something?
Was I ever okay?

I wish I was..
I wish I was.
If I meant anything to you..
I appreciate it..
The type of thing that is hard to bare my soul.
Bare that your kindness makes me question if I felt like this..
Your kindness makes me feel different..
what’s even different..
