Joel

This New Yorker I met who was best friends with my boyfriend. This New Yorker I met who went behind my boyfriend’s back to ask me for nudes. This New Yorker I met who was so blinded by lust, that he was losing himself. This New Yorker I met who found himself within a couple …

Erich

Erich

Eric, but with a silent “H”. Erich, far from silent. That H stands for something. It stands for hope. The hope he gives me that I could really have a good friend. The hope that “maybe not all men”. It stands for hugs. The hugs I have been deprived of for nearly five whole years. …

I hate that you make me happy.I hate that you make my heart race and the hairs on my body stand.I hate those goosebumps you send through my entire body by either saying or doing something.I hate that you make me squirm with excitement and that your soft eyes and warm kisses give my face …

Waking Up

 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, …

Metaphor

Metaphor

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 …

To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

Lovesick

Lovesick

My immune system isn’t the greatest. In fact, when I fell in love with you, it was the sickest I had gotten. When I breathed, it was not your scent that filled up my lungs. Instead, it was pneumonia. I inhaled every “I love you” like it was my last and coughed up any and …

This Sounds Better On Paper

This Sounds Better On Paper

I could write all my feelings out And not post it for my friends to see And not have such a fickle heart And love fearlessly. What I would do to love fearlessly! To love fearlessly with no pain and No suffering. I could breathe in the scent and fill my lungs with the one …

Yin

Yin

So hard is the life that has been given. So powerful and yet, so negative. It’s cold there. A drowning sensation enveloping me. The repentance I would do for a moment out of the dark.
