I woke at 3 a.m., And I was scared. I thought I’d never be tired agai… But then I remembered the morning And all the joy it brings.

A tree fell in the park last night… I didn’t hear it go. The innards smelled of peppermint, And I felt the crumbling dirt Turn into ash in my hand.

Perfection is an evil reflection On what is really real. Solitude is my gratitude When I am sad. Numbness equals oneness

You don’t ask me to speak. You never expect my opinion. I was your second child In a runaway marriage. I suppose I loved you once,

Why do I still feel guilty About things That are out of my favor?

I wish I wish I wish I could swim in oblivion. Have a tummy full of pills.

Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.

What if your face was a poem alone… I bet People would read it and cry, And some would feel inflated afte… Because they witnessed something

You’re bleeding down my legs, Tangling me up in your fingers. I want to run my nails down your b… And sigh in your ear.

While you were gone, My childhood dog died. I wept for both of you, And I felt like a corpse. While you were gone,

You met me in the winter When I was a petal, Something you desperately wanted t… You loved me in the summer, Underneath the palm oil trees

You’re horrible, And I hate you. But this is me. I’m the only person That I can’t escape.

I feel that one never stops Loving their past loved ones. The nostalgia remembers all the Times when you slept in their bed, When you first opened up,

If flowers could cry, Would the water out-spilled Also drown them Like a sloshing grave of Wet mud?

Moon up, Pants down. I said no. His body said yes.
