So long I have held my tongue for you I think I am beginning to choke on it.

My chest is caving in with those things that are left unsaid, always unsaid. You strike at me, oh do you strike at me.

I let your palm hit my cheek and feel the blood drip down my chin. There is a tange in my mouth. There is always a tange in my mouth as I bite through the soft flesh of my tongue for you.

Over, and over, until my nerves are raw and frayed and tangling inside my limbs.

How odd to feel so raw and so numb all at once.

We used to say God made us sisters because he was simply unable to keep us apart. Now, I think its because he knew it was the only way I would love you.

But what about me? Did he not regard me? I am cursed to love you while I am stuck in the grave of knowing even with our shared blood, you are incapable of loving me back.

I've lost count of how many times you've apologised. You cradle my head and tell me you're sorry again and it doesn't mean a thing. I look at you and feel completely empty.

We stand in the cold and inch away from one another. If I am to change then perhaps I am also to grow away from you. It confuses me that I can feel so alone when I am loved so much.

A new season begins. A crow eats the seeds I left for her on the windowsill. She turns to speak to me but I don’t understand. I ask her name and she only stares.

“..want to be a boy”

said in the tone of claimed divine disgust,

genuine curiosity, kind, questioning eyes—

the words pierce though my spine all the same.

for years this treacherous phrase was the ever present shadow looming over my hunched shoulders

there is no want in this situation.

i just am.

always have and always will be.

the word “want” demands that i’m just a girl in costume, screams YOU’RE NOT REAL

barbie in stolen ken’s clothes!

i simply just am

nothing, no other’s hatred wrapped in an egotistical loving bow, can take that away from me or change it.

because i was always born a ken

the first time you made my heart race

I knew it'd be a track star.

don't kiss me and make war out of art.

I yearn for your touch. The gentle graze of your lips on my skin. Your warm embrace..the safety you make me feel. To fall asleep and wake up beside.. you're such a big part of my life that hurts to let go...

You are my home.

Fireworks are possibly one of the most wholesome things humans enjoy. They don't really do much.. Fireworks are just harmless explosions with beautiful colors and bright lights. I mean, you just fire them and look at them, that’s pretty much it. Yet people are so incredibly fascinated by them. I used to not love them… I would get annoyed every time my family forced me to go see the fireworks. I thought they were stupid, childish and useless. Well. Not until I grew a little older and started looked around. All the people surrounded, enjoying the fireworks.. The wide happy eyes, big smiles, and the loud laughter all around... Seeing people so fascinated, made me fascinated. It all made sense to me and I could see why fireworks were so fun. It brings people together, and that's what made me love fireworks. I love fireworks now and it is because of people.

It was your birthday today.

It took me all day to notice, to realize.

And for the first time after deleting the texts between us I clicked on your name.

"Happy birthday, you can now sing Taylor Swift's 22. I hope you are doing well."

God, I hope I don't live to regret that.

hand poem

you say something but I don’t hear you. I am looking at your hands, imagining them running over my own, feeling the cool glance of rings on your fingers against my warming skin. when I dream of you, I only dream of your hands; the brush of your fingertips, the heat of your palm. one day, your fingers will undo me. one day, I will melt under your warmth. I watch you fall asleep and imagine your arms around me.

my mom started using he/him for me because my sibling grew accustomed to the swap like it was the most natural thing in the world

and my sibling remembers my chosen name because my mom always instantly corrects herself

and i see poetry in there somewhere

i just hope that no matter how many times this world tries to harden me and turn me into a cold person, i hope i remain soft. may i still be compassionate. may i still be full of love. may i still be soft and sees hope in everything. and to never become something that once broke me.
