summer was drought
and fall i started drinking again
things were dry in different
places;
dry in my mind and against my
knuckles
dry in my mouth and burning
down my throat
i would grab you in the
doorframes and wait for the
hair to be brushed out of my
eyes by your hands that were
warm
waiting for the snow to
be a blanket
i told you what it meant
i wouldnt be able to write any
more
the feeling when you finally curl your
vertabraes against the sheets
cold as a winter breath
when the song comes on again and
there is a beautiful breaking at the top
of your ribcage
bruising on your knees
it doesnt matter what you put
up on your walls because it will
stay there
i was living inside a star burning
white like bones
i am a girl with sad eyes and cold
feet with blisters on them
you were about to maybe be my
skinny boy
get up and go
away burn me with chai
latte hands
come you will be home
writing on my walls and
waking me up on sundays
in autumn when it
rains and the leaves are plastered
to the cement
it is windy like
subway tunnels and you are breaking my
promises
i am hung up on the world
paper fingers on the
piano
come back and save me
today
i lost weight in my wrists and
they felt shaky and heavy and
full of air at the same time
i stared at the spaces where light
reflected and drank green
tea
i watched you become thousands of leagues above me
i am deep under the sea
and when i woke up my face was buried in the
sand and my hands were aching tendrils around your
stomach
shaking red fingers and clear calm
skin
the waves washed up over
us and rolled your head back
around
i felt your ice blue eyes straight
through my bone marrow
your lungs are suicidal and my spine
curves against the inverted ceiling
the sky is heavy with stardust
everything wont stop
spinning
as we start to fade to the
darkness you take me by the ear and your
breath is cold
the clouds coming out of your
mouth are the heavens and
your voice is the galaxy
i was good until i started
writing about you
all the same
curling caterpillar in bed until my
eyelashes wind up on your
face
carried away
i could finally hear the sounds in
my cheeks as they grew red
and you swore the winter wind would
be enough to break you down
i laughed the
hardest and my throat was so
bare
you are so much
stronger than the masses of
air
i will connect the freckles like stars
on your face
we are so tiny and the buildings breathe
white night
touched my arm
you know you are enough to
break me ten times over

Literature
so kill me, mockingbird
i once said, listen up,
because here's the way
it's going to work:
there will be milky ways
and mountains and clouds
dancing with rain,
the sun won't quite
look the same, and the moon
won't seem so dull.
i once said, come closer,
because there's something
that you need to know:
at night we'll breathe
against each other, move
with each other,
and our delirious melodies
will wake the waves
and shake the stars.
i once said, stay here,
don't go, never ever
leave me:
but here i am now,
eating my words
from a silver platter.
you are my id and my super-ego,
your metal wire teeth are cataclysmic broken capillaries
decorating my skin
you haunt the back of all my thoughts and i love you it's tragic
i don't know what love is
too mny open sores on open hearted boys
ruined the word for me
you're not emaciated or a good kisser. you won't break my heart
and i hate you for it. you're a color version of the same black and white movie
i've already watched over and over and over and over
the saturation is exciting but the words you're saying are dialog i have already
analyzed and memorized and i've already written you down.
your emotional exhaustion over me is
i hate danishes.
ps one of my best friends is now dating the guy i have liked for just over a year. she knew how much i liked him and didnt tell me until the day they went out.
haihaihaihai
its a little insane of me to have not posted in so long and i apologize profusely.
a lot has been going on but im happy
i dont know how to start writing again :/
also on other news i just got a fish and she issss just too cute. eeek!
i love you so much, your words are so beautiful, fleeting poetry, don't you wish there were more people that can write around us, like this, deep deep deep souls
