24 November 2022
the fact of the matter is,
you were supposed to stay.
you were supposed to be there for me
when things went bad.
i stayed, i would have stayed through anything.
but you were different.
you saw it getting bad
and decided you didn't love me anymore.
decided this was too much for you.
and left.
you left me to fend for myself.
a puppy who didn’t know the way,
stumbling and clinging onto whoever feeds it.
getting tricked into giving my all
only to be kicked by those who find it funny.
i trusted you,
now what?

I'm not even aromantic but
I'm considering becoming loveless.
I'm so sick of people
using that word to hurt me.
I'm so sick of that word
being used to commit terrible things.
I'm sick of that word.
I want nothing to do with your love.
I don't think it means
what you think it does
but I think it means
exactly what you do
and I don't want any part of it.
I don't care if you love me.
You don't get to hurt me.

Bambi
I heard from somewhere
That dogs can recognise
When you aren’t there
And look for you
when they’re scared.
.
.
And all I can think about
Is if you were looking for me
That day
If you were scared
And didn’t know where I was
And the thought of that
Has haunted me since.
The thought of you
Afraid
Hurting
Looking for me
But I’m not there
And I never would be again.
.
.
For months after
That thought would crash in
Riding the waves of grief
That losing you had brought me.
Because not only were you gone
But I hadn’t been there.
.
.
I will forever hate covid
For taking me from you,
For keeping me locked
In a different state,
In a different house,
Where I couldn’t get the chance
To really say goodbye
To hold you and comfort you
As you slipped away.
.
.
A piece of my soul
Left with you that day.
I know you had to go,
That it was peaceful,
That you were home,
With everyone else.
I just wish I had been there too.
Then maybe I would find some peace.
.
.
You would have been 14 this month
But I lost you at 11.
Most of the time it doesn’t hurt
But today it does.

Don’t let them shame you into being quiet about what they did to you.
If they didn’t want you to speak of it they shouldn’t have done it.
If they try to silence you,
Make them bleed.

When feeling loved is about more than waiting for someone to come along and pick you up,
But about being able to pick yourself up too, dust off the pain, and keeping working for you,
It feels like it's all for nothing.
I don't know if I can ever love me, so I think that means I can never truly be loved. Or at least I'll never truly be ready for it, as much as I feel like I want it.
Maybe someone still wants to fix someone broken, but nobody deserves to have to do that.
You say 'i can fix them' but honey, that's never been your job. Let yourself be happy and live a life full of joy and laughter and wonder.
They can fix themselves. Maybe.
And if they can't, then it will be okay, because not everyone needs to be fixed.
It hurts so bad, but I will try to heal. I don't think I'm someone who can be fixed, but that's just because my breaks are more like little cracks and chips.
I am full of the small imperfections that you ignore; the nick in the spoon from getting stuck in the disposal, the crack in the bowl from where it fell not far enough to break, the piece missing from the outside of the cup that is too thick to affect the quality.
Some of these things show my resilience, but some of them are just the straws building up until they finally break the back of my camel.
I don't always know what each of them are, but I know I live in fear of the day that the crack gives way, and the slow leak you can wipe away becomes a spill, a drain, and you have to throw the whole thing away.
Maybe I need some kintsugi, but maybe the glaze is cracked and I'm already gone, I just don't know it yet.
I'm just a bleeding cup, a day-old rice container, soup that's sat out all night and gained a skin. It's already ruined. It can't be saved.
I can't be saved.
I can't be loved.
Especially by me.

"Diaphragm"
I can feel my diapragm
Well.
I feel like a can
Moving up and down
To keep my body working right
But is it working right
What explains the sharp pain
In my ribs and my chest
It hurts so much.
Are my ribs hitting my lungs?
Is that why?
Is my chest too close together?
Is that why?
What is wrong with me?
I have no idea what is.
-Maxwell 2023

The vomit in my soul is yours. I'm running out of gum for you. I don't think I can forgive you for how many packs I've wasted on you.
Either get with it, or get out of the way.

Little Robot
I am a little robot
Touch my skin
Look into my dead eyes
Inspect my wires
Deep inside there's a heart
I don't know why it won't work
Maybe if I was human it would
I am a little robot
I can't read those hidden words
I crave to know what you do
To feel the comradary that you do
I am a little robot
Dig into my wires
Dig deep into the chest plate
Into the cavity underneath
Wrap your human hand around my heart
Make it warm
Make me just like you
Make me human
I am a little robot
I want to be a little human
Please
Make me human

And when someone's gone and you're the primary keeper of his memory ; letting go would be a kind of murder, wouldn't it?

I can’t fucking talk to you at all and I feel like I'm suffocating and I hate it.
Im being smothered in abandonment.
I’m drowning in a lack of you and it’s not a small pool it’s a whole motherfucking ocean.
I hate feeling like this.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
I’m tempted to hate you too.
But I can't bring myself to do it.
Excerpts from letters you’ll never receive.

In an alternate universe I hope I am loved.
unconditionally,
irrevocably,
eternally,
and endlessly.
