my tiny universe.

keep trying to make you a memory but i always end up making art instead

i love you like a memory what we once were we can never be again but it was beautiful while it lasted and it will stay with me forever

a girl born on a loop of your fault her fault his fault from the land of smashed bottles that smell like bud light and pancakes that say im sorry the next morning a land of of burnt the turkey because vodka tasted just like forgetting or forgot the Christmas tree again forgot her at school again forgot we were married again forgot we were a family again

love should not feel like a cage it should feel like the wind helping you soar.

god created ghosts out of us we were born outsiders

tongue knotted like old rope he told me life is wasted on the miserable and breathing

ive kissed boys made of stone lips sharp hungry looking for girls made of peas and small shoes to turn them Human.

how stupid was I to give you the parts of me that were most fragile how often girls must shatter in your fingertips

hey, does anyone have any slam poet/poetry recommendations?

and so silently you left like petals in the wind like unmoved bed sheets like unlit candles like the rest of them.
