A cave with boulders of burden blocking the exit. Echoes of deprecation bouncing off the walls. Burned out torches with their smoke swallowing the depths. Dark and dreary with no end in sight. Hoping for an end but the walls close in. Nothing seems to be in sight.
Life is pretty funny. Not funny “haha” but funny “oh wow what the fuck”. I met you when I needed you most. I loved you when I needed you close. Sometimes I wonder if prom night was prophecy. If I spent all night crying so that in the end, you’d love me. If in the …

I got out of bed today. To anyone else, that can be the easiest part of the day. It’s the most regretful feeling for me. When I wake, I shiver with cold thoughts breathing down my neck of how I should not be alive. That the diet of pills should have went through and stayed, …
Metaphorically speaking, you rid me of my hope with the extra Drano in the sink. The words “I miss you” roll around in my mouth like children’s medicine that refuses to be swallowed. I have said those cursed words so much that I tired myself of hearing them. Saying I want you back in my …
