moth
moth in the wind,
drawn to the light,
the secrets,
the knowledge that could kill her,
her deepest desire,
her downfall,
don’t let her fly too close,
to that warmth,
but oh what that warmth could feel like,
the best thing becoming the last thing,
wings burnt and lessons learnt,
all comes crashing down,
the only sound being the whispers of what once was known.

Breaking Bread Together
by Giuliana Favello
Bread, the scent of life,
Rushing through the air!
Beyond the bakery's warmth,
Empty bellies ache,
And souls yearn for reprieve.
The aroma of bread,
So rich,
Fills our senses with delight.
Yet,
To those who starve,
It becomes a taunting reminder.
The world carries on,
As the scent of bread lingers,
Mocking the empty plates.
Oh!
To awaken the slumbering hearts,
In a world that does not care.
Fight the famine,
Break the mold,
Sow the seeds of compassion,
Until the scent of bread no longer signifies
The divide between abundance and despair.

he was half my souls, as the poets say
he was setting suns, he was the morning rays
and songbirds taken and shown in flight
he radiated iridescent light
and soon released to go on his way
the boy with golden hair and sun kissed skin
fighting wars he could not win
among his people, respected, revered
his love a terror to be feared
and souls together, bound as twins
we’re often said to be just friends
but bound together in their ends
a sacrifice, a love so true
buried together near oceans blue
a love so powerful, time cannot mend

Peach Toast
I have a new favourite breakfast, now.
It's not the savoury toast
you used to make me,
that garlic-salt simplicity
I would beg you for.
It's syrupy-sweet.
Grilled peaches and cinnamon spice,
and I make it myself.
-
You didn't want me to learn your recipe,
just in case
I did it better,
because then I would know
that I didn't need you.
And then, maybe, I would see that you
weren't worth the heartache.
You were right.
-
Now I don't have to listen to your stories,
how that toast was born from a gap year,
from privilege, and money,
as you looked on my empty plate, with a pitiful look
that explains
that you are wiser and more interesting
than me.
This one was born from a joke
between friends,
on an idle, rainy day.
-
I can bathe my breakfast in syrup,
make it sweet for mysef.
Take my time, pour over the stove
and listen only to that scrape
of knife against toast,
knowing I'm a better boyfriend
to me
than you ever were.
-
And, day by day, I will watch
as I drop leaves and grow
blossoms
that you never touched.
Then, when Summer comes,
I'll pluck peaches from my
free-standing branches
and make toast,
for myself.

When did I change? When did I realise that Santa wasn't real? When did I realise that I wouldn't be the same innocent little girl forever? What happened to me?

“You’re not thinking rationally.” “We love you too much to leave you alone in this state.”
Just admit that you think I’m ill. Sick in the head.
Needing constant fucking monitoring.
When have I ever done that? Ever given a single indication that I’m that high goddamn risk.
I just don’t want to disappoint you. But it seems like I failed from the start.
You’re scared to leave me alone.
It seems that in an attempt to not bother you,
I’ve just made it worse.
I don’t know what to do now.
My entire goal was to go unnoticed.
But it seems I’ve just drawn more attention to myself.
If you’re that scared. Fucking give me to the hellscape which claims it wants to help.
By isolating me from my family and friends. Some even take your phone.
Box you off entirely from the world.
Until they deem you ‘normal’
Do we even know their standard for normality.
How long would I be there.
Alone. Guilt ridden. Panicked and depressed.
I’ve never been. But the possibility grows ever more likely each breakdown and panic attack I have.
Please. Don’t send me away. Please.

cry
the average woman cries fifty times a year,
however i must cry at least one hundred,
my tears range from happy to sad,
from angry to confused,
sometimes there is no reason for them,
they just flow like a river in an eternal look,
they sit behind my eyes waiting for the slightest thing to go wrong,
until the flood gates open and all hell breaks loose.

DDD
by Giuliana Favello
It is mourning.
I rise, but my body remains crippled,
Weighed down by invisible chains,
The ghostly grip of degenerative decay.
So many pills,
Swallowed with hopeful desperation,
A gift from the gods of temporary relief.
Ever so fleeting.
Each step- agony.
My mind- distracted by the relentless ache.
This body- a haven of destruction.
I wear a smile like a painted mask,
Hiding the tears that threaten
To spill.
The world demands strength,
Who am I to deny?

the world is on fire but nothing shines brighter than your eyes. october is the month of sorrows, so we’ll drink tears out of wine glasses and toast to your lies. lit candles around my room, every clock is set to an hour before in hopes we could turn back time. ravens call outside my door, is this what you wanted? do you still want more? in the abscesses of your heart, you hold something that I once called home, but it’s in ashes you leave me here. tired and alone. what is god to a man, that i wished that i could be, your love containing multitudes leaves me swallowed in the sea, what’s this season, what’s the reason, why my bed lies cold at night, when the world all around us is still’s engulfed in your light

Hide me within your walls
so I won’t be seen
stuff my mouth with
spare fabric
and bind me so I can’t
        move prove your Goddamn point.
Take away my sight
        carve out my eyes
        until all you can 
see is the space behind them
and replace them with glass shards
        that sparkle and pop and gleam
and never hear me scream.
Reach your hand down my throat
        and push the scraps down with it
        until you’ve clogged the cavity
        within my ribcage stage me
        stuffed in the front yard.
And when little girls walk
past make me your
warning
        (tell them that this is what they
        have to be and will never be andwillseeinthemirrorinthedark—)
your goal my soul not in sight
        while I rage against the dying
        of my own fucking light.
--Charlotte Brookins, "Carving the Madonna"
