He yells at you
while he hits the wall
You flinch
Telling you
how annoying you are
You knock the fitted sheet
off the bed by accident
“I would rather sleep on the floor
than sleep with you
because sleeping with you
is fucking awful.”
You become anxious
on edge everyday
I just have to be better
you think to yourself
Maybe it will go back
to how it was in the beginning
if I try harder
The sweet
caring
soft side
So you shrink down
you try to be good
Because you are bad
you can’t do anything right
there is something wrong with you
Or else he would be nice, right?

I thought of you a little bit today.
I was getting so good at not agonizing about you every single moment
I lost
I had a dream of you
And I thought about you all day
You were with her
You weren't even looking at me
I didn't exist
Just standing in the corner watching you
You were gently pushing away a lock of hair from her face
You were in bliss
And I have lost

Oh how agonizing it is to be a, women, sitting idle in front of the greatest mirrors of all kinds and to not be a man named narcissus.

I hope the downpour mocks my unheard cries even through the pounding of the rain against your window.
I hope you feel some sort of guilt each time the rain embraces you, do you feel me?
will you think of those memories from the rain?
will you wish we'd lasted a little longer in those silent moments?
will you wish I was laying besides you?
will your fingertips warm with the remembrance of your touch to my skin?
mine do too...
ill wish for you always, you here or me there or anywhere we can be together.
I will always wish for the rain to bring me the comfort of you in memory, where im still able to hold you...

gifts
last week i gave you
my heart, fresh from the ribs
you set it down and asked for soap
and then baked my favourite dessert.
do you love me? i can't tell
you feel like the sun
and i can't ever seem to look you in the face
i'm scared to get too close but
i do it anyway, i love you
please don't leave
my heart by the sink

Remembrance
I can’t remember.
I can’t remember anything except the agony in my ribs as the words leaving your lips faded into a soundless buzzing. I can’t remember anything except the tears in my eyes as I fought to smile so you could leave painlessly. I can’t remember anything except my world collapsing as I realised I’d never feel the softness of your lips and the warmth in your embrace and the comfort in your laughter and the way I fluttered at your touch and your body next to mine. I can’t remember anything except suppressing sobs as I realised I would never again wake up to you holding me or giggle with you under the covers until the sun set and rose or listen to you ramble before shutting you up with flurries of kisses or trace the freckles on your back while murmuring how much I love you.
I'm not sure I want to.

I’ve kissed the foreheads of far too many lovers trying to show them the impeccable amount of love my body is exploding with, hoping the slight touch of our electricity meeting will feel like the one hug they’ve always longed for.
Am I trying to convince them, or myself of love?
Am I trying to heal myself, or them?
Knowing I should run, if I want to protect them. The more foreheads I kiss, the more hearts I try to heal, the more hearts I break, the more I break myself, cause when you’re in my arms and brain temporary lust feels like home. Until it doesn’t anymore. Then the cycle begins again, I don’t want to break anymore hearts trying to heal my own.
I’ve got a jar of hearts and they’re all my favorite.
-S.P

I’m so excited to be able to make this announcement tonight! I have published a poetry chapbook with @bottlecap-press!!!
I am so excited to release this information, especially to the writeblr community who has inspired me so much. This has been an amazing and humbling opportunity, and I’m so grateful to Craig from Bottlecap Press for all his hard work.
Embrace & Unravel is about trying to find yourself in other people, finding the right people, and convincing yourself you’ve moved on. These poems and short essay in this work explore the different feelings of angst and longing associated with what we consider love, what love looks like when it’s what we need, and the feelings associated with figuring life out.
Compiled over 3-4 years, these poems chronicle some of my thoughts and feelings as I learned more about myself and unlearned a lot about life as well. Though the poems mostly focus on love, processing all the emotions related to a coming-of-age era are at the heart of the scribblings in this book.
I hope you guys will take the chance to read Embrace & Unravel! If you do, please share your thoughts with me! You can either send me asks here, or to my writing side-blog called @authortango. Both physical and digital copies are available now on the Bottlecap Press website, and I will be including the link in the reblog to avoid any Tumblr shenanigans. I can’t wait to hear everyone’s thoughts about it!

April 15
Awake in the morning,
It’s the beginning of the end,
Stretching and yawning,
Remembering when,
I found out the truth,
And you could no longer defend,
You knew it was over,
You could no longer pretend,
I never knew I wouldn’t see you again.
Ocean blue eyes,
Staring into mine,
Sparkling like sapphires,
As blue as the sky,
You’re laid with me,
Up on your side,
I’m lost in you,
But I’m not hard to find.
Wreaking havoc like a tornado,
That comes raging in,
So much destruction,
And gone with the wind,
Were you the same way with me,
As you are with him?
I don’t wanna know, I just wanna hide,
I’m screaming out loud,
But it’s all stuck inside,
I know that they mean well,
And they don’t want to pry,
But please don’t ask if I’m ok,
Because I’ll just start to cry.
I would’ve crawled to the ends of the Earth for you,
Just to hear you say my name,
Now I’d crawl through broken glass,
To rid me of this pain.
Let’s get in the car,
And go on a long drive,
Let’s talk about what we’d call our kids,
And how we’d live our life,
Let’s talk about how much fun we’d had,
And how you were my wife.
We didn’t get that far because you drove us off a cliff,
You took the wheel right out my hands,
Saying you’d had enough of this.
I look at you as we plummet to the sea,
Even as we’re about to die,
You can’t bare to look at me,
(Let’s not get ahead of ourselves),
This is all speaking hypothetically,
But you might as well have killed me,
When I found out the truth,
On April fifteenth.

Some nights, while I can't sleep. My past kisses me with excruciating pain.

I am angry for that I wish to be loved...
i'm angry at what this has done to me, and the more it has done for you...
I wish you could have endured half the pain I did, and I wish it could have been as visible as mine.
I wish the bathroom floor was as familiar to you as it was to me.
I wish your fingertips could have caressed your own cold, pale, and damp cheeks in horror of un-recognition of who you were turning to be.
I wish I could have been happy like you.
I wish I could have regained myself before I endured all of you.
I wish that the sun wouldn't feel colder in those moments when I seek the warmth I am no longer able to find within you.
I wish you would be selfless enough to fix what you've done or at least to check up on me.
somewhere and somehow I believe I deserve it...
all I wanted was just to be loved.
