and midnights aren't the same without her.

first off, hello. if anyone still follows this account or vaguely recognises it, you qualify for a veterans discount. (thats a very american joke of me to make – i’ve never seen such a thing irl.) but that is true! i was active on this page, or at least semi-regularly publishing new content, about 2016-2018. some things have changed, like my gender and sexuality! it’s pretty apparent from the bio and content that my poems were by a lesbian, 2016-18 me, for a sapphic audience. i now identify as a nonbinary gay guy, which is a little different, and have therefore proceeded to create different content. 

i, however, want to keep this blog as a sort of time capsule and wlw-positive safe space. so, i won’t be changing the bio, content, or appearance of the blog, even though my name is now three and my pronouns are he/they. 

if you for whatever reason want to keep up with what i’ve been up to recently, i post sometimes on my art account https://www.instagram.com/hopeunofficial/ and aim to do a daily poetry challenge for december, so i promise you there will be content!! also my twitter is https://twitter.com/screaiming, come annoy transphobes with me. 

thanks so much for reading, all 2 of my followers! as a treat u get some previously unreleased shit 🥳 

separate now,

oceans apart but atoms still bonded. with

every breath brings the icy song of fire,

disappointment in self and an

ache that refuses to swallow itself;

you are the tightening of your

own throat and how you

rooting yourself in people so

profoundly,

trust

yourself to invest the

right energy in

the right aspects of

life you surround

yourself with.

engage

with others in

love and

in laughter. listen

to the birds as they tell

the morning how

their sleep

was.

glisten, and

let the tears fall. and

let yourself go,

and let yourself

grow.

take root,

not in one brook

but in innumerable passions,

colours,

words on a page. love,

and grow, and

live

for yourself. revel

in the sensation;

heal.

let a fire flicker — softly —
