Patience escapes me, while my insides berate me, lately, for all the ways in which I deem myself lazy.

With every talent I leave behind, I find a record in my mind - a tally of every unfulfilled dream of mine.

And I aim to chase a way to pace myself enough to give myself grace in a space that welcomes mistakes.

Hari Alluri, from “Ancestral Memory”, After Kwame Dawes

Love sick Fucking pricks Trickle sweet nothings down my thighs Pear of a bottom gets wet by the bodily fluids he presses out of me as it pours. I vomit a little in my mouth. Drunk off the cab I sucked from the bottle. I commit myself to this numbing technique where we play pretend. Blowing trees or each other. Sicken by the rejection that I call a little piece of remedy. Confusing to you- I know. Makes no sense why I let him fuck me this way and call it me getting off. Or evening the score- being twos who're I collapse between the hard place I stand and this lonely place where I feel. Love sick - yet sicken by love. The kind that doesn't want for nothing. Pressed.

Isn't it funny how the pictures on the wall change. How love lost is never experienced again. How people you long for are worthless to the fight. Isn't it funny this life we live. Wanting change but rejecting it where begins. Catching feelings that we are bound to lose over and over again. Full circle this life goes around. When you are tough enough to let go

I Come Back

I know it makes no sense-

Words that I speak of loving you

Things i text -that express my yearning of your best. I ask for you - in return .

Feeling rejected by minimal expression

I try to cast my own feelings down.

I play out of sight, out of mind.

You’re Not mine, nothing about this is divine, I play ghost of your past.

Yet the gate is never locked and it's not because I'm a hopeless romantic or weak and can't be alone. I've been alone.

I just think what have we got to lose?

While No man seemingly wants to take a chance.

I know it makes no sense -me being attached to you. Me wanting to be with you. The game of loving & creating distances is ill. I'm quitting.

So I can be for real.

I’m quitting so I can be less exhausted & heal.
