Resin of ancient lifelines webbed across tapestries of frozen dusk, and I enter through liminal dreams

8.15.20?
Examine the cracks across our skin
millions of cells breaking down and recreating themselves
so that one day I will have a body he never touched
personal growth can't be measured
it is not two cups of sugar or half a stick of butter
it is not loving someone dispite hating yourself
personal growth is more like knitting
with practice and patience
you can redo your progress
even when ten stitches break out.
I have loved and been loved with a fire that refuses to burn out
sometimes this has been the worst experience
because my heart can be the most beautiful ship that hits an iceberg and sinks
or it can be the ship that rescued 706 people from a catastrophic heartbreak.
The cracks on my skin
the tunes I sing to myself during the day
the slight shift from Shakespeare to Vonnegut
from sad playlists on spotify
ringing through my small trailer
to happy songs
and dancing around the living room with Jasper
and morning cups of coffee

I fucked up
And she realized that I’m not worth it…
She realized I really am nothing
She realized that I don’t matter
She realized she doesn’t love me
She realized that I’m not important
She realized that I don’t need to be there
She realized it’s been long enough
She realized that she no longer cared
She realized that I’m not good enough
She realized my kisses no longer mattered
She realized that neither did my touch
She realized she didn’t need to talk to me
She realized that I’m just not enough
She realized she could ignore texts
She realized that the sound of her voice would break me
She realized I wouldn’t call her -
Because the pauses in between would be deafening
She realized that I my biological family was still around
She realized that, oh and this is the best
She realized that I’m just not anything at all
So like the others, she left

The Writer.
When I was a little kid,
I always wanted to be writer.
Making up stories, putting pen to paper
It always made hard times seem a little brighter.
As I grew up, and life got harder
It became my escape.
Some sort of armour.
As I grew, I slowly learnt
How easily people are able to disappoint you.
I learnt to block.
I learnt to deflect.
I learnt to watch where I stepped.
I pushed away love,
Because it only came with hate.
But you can’t blame me, right?
I was just a kid
With a lot on my plate.
I couldn’t see the damage I did.
Most things in life are unknown.
That’s how many people live,
Having the unexpected hit them, like a cyclone.
But I’ve always been writer,
Used to control.
I’ve always known how the story was ending.
I never had to anticipate what the future was impending.
When things turned bad, or became too hard.
I’d retreat with my pen and paper
And write stories as a guard.
The one’s around me said
When I run and when I hide,
My words become shallow 
And my eyes seem hollow.
I’d bottle my emotions with a sense of pride.
I let myself be vulnerable,
Just one time.
Blink and you missed it
Just like the perfect crime.
What I learnt from my experience,
Something that became a matter of fact;
Is that, finding new ways to hurt eachother
Is what we are all good at.
They say don’t fall in love with writers 
because their poems are messy, 
and their letters are empty words that are dressed up to be pretty.

She stucked her mind in a January sunset
Her eyes are still in an empty paradise
Can't hear the noise around, just the little laughs
Now a little bit older but doesn't feel a little bit wiser

Bruise me!
To all the places it's already aching
Aching for your touch
The sweet bruises that blush

Misfit
A wallflower sits silently. Lonely within the crowd, No one notices, no one cares. Forgotten, ignored, unloved, Too proud to beg.

There have been days when I've felt homesick at home. Extremely uncomfortable in my skin, and felt myself burning in an air conditioned room. There have been days when I have adored a smile on my face, while my soul has danced inside. I have loved every breath intake, and appreciated the very type of my existence. I have had black days, and white days, like every normal human out there. And I have felt myself grow in the midpoint of the line, where the black has mixed into white. I have felt the chronological growth of my soul, and I have died the next moment. My life has been a thrilling adventure of contrasts. And within these adventures, I have lost myself and I have found myself, a little more than a million times. And all the predicament had led me into what I look in the mirror today. I am grateful.

Soft air sweeps over the stillness of evening, an eclipse still shadows my eyes, elusive moments where I resist luxury, totality traded for just a hologram

good morning I wrote a poem
You are my homecoming, dearest
I wake up, the room is light blue and gold
I reach for you, you smile into my shoulder
And in a few hours
We’ll go to that coffee shop.
I left her for so long
Chilly mornings with rain beaded on leaves
My head resting on the car window
The smell of exhaust while we waited in line
Applesauce, rosemary
Piano lessons.
Holding your hand as the sun breaks through the gray
I forgot what this felt like.
Dear one, can it be true?
Safety rolls back in
A gentle warmth for the two of us, alone.

Sun & Moon.
Sometimes I think of the sun and the moon as enemies,
Always demanding control of the Earth.
Opposite from the other.
Questioning the others worth.
Sometimes I see them as two souls,
Separated a lifetime ago.
One representing fire
The other, snow.
One’s power is so strong
it demands all to revolve around it,
The other, can’t help but bow down and submit.
Beautiful opposites,
Their love; gravity prohibits.
Sometimes I think of them as lovers who rarely meet.
Always chase.
Always miss.
Constantly falling for the sky’s tricks.
But once in a while, they do catch up
and they kiss as the world watches their eclipse.
