I was so alone that every day was like eating my own heart.

And I think

This silence

Burns worse than any insult

Ever could

Your absence

Is gaping

A tangible presence apart from me

And it burns

A Tall Child

I often think about how embarrassing it is for me to yearn for something that was never mine. I mean, I'm not a child anymore. I can't remember the last time I felt like a child. The sight of a child holding hands with their parents shouldn't make me feel hollow, but it does. I see parents hug their children tightly and think, if only my parents did that. I look at my mother, apologizing to my youngest brother as she gently pats his back. She says words I was dying to hear as a kid. Why couldn't you do the same for me? I look at the father and daughter sitting at the table across from me, completely absorbed in their conversation. Even though my own father sits next to me, we act as if we're strangers. I hear my classmates talk about wanting to move close to their parents, how they're glad they supported them this far, how they want to repay them someday and— I can't listen anymore. It's impossible to escape this ideal. Happy families are plastered on screens, hugging and kissing their children. It hurts to see toxic families in movies magically forgive each other and start anew, knowing that this opportunity never existed for me. Is it too selfish to want more than what I received? Is it selfish to mourn over what could've been yours, too?

i breathe breathe in through my nose hold it for a little while i breathe out through my mouth my head tilted back face to the sky except the sky is not in sight the sight is nothing but a ceiling a ceiling in a room filled with smoke and sounds the breath that could have been so beautiful so perfect it could have been just right but it’s nothing but a chase for the high the breathing through the nose just to get it inside the holding of the breath the breathing through the mouth my head tilted back all just to keep it inside to keep the courage, the pleasure, the bliss, the powder the powder is the point the point is the powder

I feel as though every friendship is fragile,

And I don’t know how to hold it.

I just wanted to cry

Perhaps,

if all the tears fell out,

there would be nothing left to give.

Everything inside on the outside and ready to receive and be filled all over

If I look hard enough, maybe I can find enough good things to feel whole.

Was I ever whole?

Half full, quarter way, almost

Almost but never quite there

Fissures, cracks, and pinholes

widen as the years go by

wearing away

like the cartilage within the knee

Sometimes you feel so undone

You open the door and say to them

Come in, come in, make yourself

at home

My heart is bursting for somebody

But especially you

To touch it gently like a flower

But they stand at the doorway

And say, where? what?

I'm on the wrong street

I was looking for someplace else

A pharmacy, gallery, dog park

In a different city

Who are you again?

Incubus

She misses being held

Feeling the caress

Of strong hands

Gentle kisses

Eyes filled with love

Sweet and sensitive intimacy

She puts her heart

Up for adoption

Yet all she finds

Is vulgar lust

Demands to get on her knees

Someone tells her

He will take off her glasses

And thrust into her mouth

Without so much as a hello

Cupid has retired

Leaving only the incubus

To fill his shoes

Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?

Haruki Murakami

You always leave me lying in the dust

Cause you know that when you call me I'll come running

So hurt me, beat me, break me if you must

But this time I'm not coming back again

I always feel we're running out of time

And there's nothing I can say to keep you waiting

I've been crying, begging, pleading for a moment's notice

But this time I'm not coming back again

Nightfall

By Liz Hayes

The sun gazes over the horizon from the red sky

Steadily fading into blue, it's time to say goodbye

It's time to change shifts

Although the moon offers many gifts

A light to guide you in the dark

A friend to look upon when things get stark

A symbol for those who suffer from loneliness and sorrow

And a true reminder that there is always tomorrow
