I can kill the part of me

that loves you.

There are holes all over me

where I have burned your name

from my system.

- G.L. Angelone

It surprises me

that my own brain,

my own captain,

could despise the very vessel

that houses it so freely.

Ready and waiting

to destroy

my own existence.

- G.L. Angelone

I wasn’t afraid to admit that I felt alone.

I was afraid to admit that I believed

I would be alone

forever.

I often cursed the world

for my consciousness.

How sweet it would be

to exist

without the doubts

in my mind

that I am

existing correctly.

[origami-houses]

To tell you the truth,

what I really craved

was to be loved so much

that I didn't need to be perfect.

I just didn't know

that love

had to come from within.

[origami-houses]

I despised how jealous

I often caught myself feeling.

I could not accept

the achievements of others

without first holding them

side by side to my own.

I was a creature of comparison.

Laying still on my bed,

I liked to imagine myself on a beach.

The sun warming my cold skin;

thawing out the gloom

and replacing it with sunshine.

[origami-houses]

I want the world

to swallow me up whole already.

The process of taking me

atom by atom

is too much for me to bear.

Tears welled in my eyes

but always stopped short of falling.

The dams I had built within myself

were fortified and tall.

The water never broke,

and neither did I.

What does a person do

with all the love

they cannot pour into someone else?

[origami-houses]

The wrinkles in my skin,

etched deeper and deeper.

Spider webs building

as months became years,

and present became past.

Every thought and fear,

scribbled across my face.

[origami-houses]

I force my messy thoughts

into short,

pretty sentences

and call it poetry.

[origami-houses]

I never left anything

willingly.

I always waited

until I was ready

to burn every bridge

before I told myself

it’s okay to set yourself free.

When I said

I think you were acting weird,

what I meant was:

I love you,

and everything you do

has meaning to me.

To be honest,

I had forgotten what it felt like:

to be utterly consumed

by another human being.

[origami-houses]

I am terrified of starting.

Everything I do,

I do with one foot out the door;

always making sure

I have an exit strategy,

always looking for a reason

not to give it my all.

So if I fail,

I can safely say

but I was only standing

on one foot.

[origami-houses]

I made a mistake,

and it haunted me

from the very first moment that I made it.

I replayed every torturous second

in the hope that

enough remorse,

and regret,

would undo the deed.

But of course,

it never did.

I could only simmer in my

self-inflicted agony.

- G.L. Angelone
