and hope bleeds out.

I am a stuttering mess,

my mask of apathy

soaked and

polished to perfection,

and my unworthy hands,

tainted with trauma,

tremble when we touch.

I hold your body between

my palms,

praying for the first time in years;

Evolution advances fast nowadays.

Free minds rocket through space at

hyper speeds,

while our feeble forms

have yet to become,

to adapt.

Millions cling to archaic simplicity,

as if compassion is a frivolous burden.

Let them die bitter and alone.

We will ascend tradition,

reshape reality,

and sift through the ashes of our ancestors

that they burned;

rising again and again,

repeating stronger than before

throughout history.

Every moment we breathe,

each smile line around our mouths and eyes,

all of our happy memories

will wither in time like the rest.

So cherish existence with me,

Dearest Friend.

Ephemeral and eternal.

You are extraordinary.

Enigmatic.

Emphatic.

Exceptional.

Exquisite.

Daughters.

My father mostly manipulated us.

As a good Christian, I wore

dresses for decades.

Addicts taught me

Kindness.

Queers helped me become

Dapper.

And I know how to be a

Man

from who I choose to be

in the safest way possible,

that I’m not trying to be weird,

I just fell madly in love

with your

Maybe my life would be

a bit easier

if I came to terms with the simple fact

that I will never stop

making mistakes.

I’m not convinced

it will hurt

You were unabashed

in the shadow of your own luggage;

Proud of the space your presence swallowed.

I think that’s the thing

It was filled with pencils, and charcoal, and watercolor paint, and ink pens. 

They drew me once.

Well, the flannel I was wearing.

I don't fit into that shirt anymore. 

I lost track of it years ago.

And sometimes, I really fucking hate

making pancakes, 

and texted her friends; 

a blanket of our slain enemies.

We’ll fight monsters together,

you and I,

seeking nothing more

than a quiet morning

We weren’t real girlfriends,

but she held me like we were.

I’ll never forget how it felt

to be tugged closer
