Daddy, come look!!
Mommy pointed a gun at her face and fired it!
She won’t get up
Daddy, she’s funny looking, come look!
Just before the relatives came over for lunch
everyday is a new knife
inserted into my side
burdened without your eyes
i want you on me like clothes
i need you to fasten my ropes
nobody else knows how i unfold
you grab me with conviction
i cannot resist your temptation
i bathe in you like vacation
do not leave me like calypso
do not wound me with arrows
i’ll be psyche you be eros

It feels so sad to say out loud
That the good old days
Didn’t last that long

But I know that Human beings make mistakes
That’s how we grow to remain steadfast and strong

In the early morning hours I sound the alarm
And it’s extremely alarming
Cause It feels like nobody cares

All I feel is empitness
Cause now there’s nobody there….
to shelter me through the storm…

It feels like an eternity
Since I felt happiness
I thought our love was strong
But I was wrong…

How come back when I was young
You taught me right from wrong
And told me “Actions speak volumes over words” but now your contradicting your own words

We spent half a life together but
Being with you turned into a living nightmare

We live
We learn
We crash
We burn
Sometimes there’s no shelter to shelter you through all the raging storms…

Words of wisdom
Are coming from the voices in my mind
Telling me to give life another chance.
Cause you’ll never know if you never give it a try…

Remember that nothing lasts forever.
Not even wars or stressful times.
So this raging storm CANT and WILL NOT Last forever.

And it may not even last that long…

an innocent wish,

started something beautiful,

something painful,

something sad.

a star cannot love in the sense people can

however, a star can study,

a star can learn,

a star can experience.

and as that human girl gave her life,

to keep him burning,

the star felt,

the star experienced

a feeling he never wanted to feel again—

a horrible, rotten, disgusting feeling,

a  miserable feeling called pain.

this feeling,

changed something inside the star,

it allowed him to love.
This one is more of a story one, it was based on a writing prompt I saw on Instagram.

When I met you by accident
I thought rather little
Of that singular queer event
Gifted by fate so fickle;
Or what it could be

I gave no second thought
When you asked me to follow
I thought where I was brought
Mattered not for someone as hollow;
As someone like me

When the first pang of the heart flowered
I would agonize over the secret for hours
It had almost left my soul devored
By the fear of friendships soured;
Had my heart been set free

When it first felt you could really see me
Even amidst the uncertainty, and pain
It filled me with an uncontrollable glee
To lay my heart to you, plain;
Furthered by your acceptance of me

I cant erase your pain
But if i can be of comfort
After all of this heavy rain
Then I will give every effort;
Because your laugh, it gives me life, see?
