Untitled

The outline of him shaking

With flickers of vibrancy

I had never seen someone

So vivid and so puzzling

At the same time

And yet still, I craved him

With a hunger I couldn’t

Understand

The thirst waking me in the night

Even as I watched him

Fade

Slowly

A

W

Y

I wonder if you knew what

Your lie would cost me

I wasn’t just a regular mark

Nothing about me was the same

And yet you held the triggers of

My trauma on the edge of your teeth

Carelessly

Recklessly

Ruthlessly

Tell me how long did it take you

To realize what you had done?

It was just a story right?

A harmless, empty tale?

But, sometimes a story

Isn’t just a bump in the night

Sometimes a story

Is someone’s real life

I just hope you

I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you're living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.

i imagine her love

would feel like coming home

but not in the traditional sense

i imagine

it would be the kind

that would settle my wandering soul-

a place where finally

my heart can rest soundly

sheltered in her gentle embrace
