Favorite Person
I am a raging fire
Burning all the places I once called home, 
All the people I once warmed. 
Then I am a soothing river
Reflecting memories I do not understand, 
Feeling emotions I cannot express. 
There is a battle inside my head;
Both sides fighting for a peace that will never arrive, 
Not if we do not stop and ask for help. 
But this is a war that I cannot win, 
And I am so sorry you got caught in the crossfire
Of all of the words I could never say. 
You were my favorite person, 
But that is not a title you should want
From a heart as broken
And a mind as twisted as mine.

Beneath the Rock Elm
Tumblr media
I had grown here, with a roof over my head, and riches beyond comparison. 
No warmth, or place to be called mine.
A future as bright as the stars we’ve gazed upon, haunted by loneliness.
I had fear.
The day had come, masked in the fragrance of roses and baby's breath.
I sacrificed my place in your heart. 
Bitter is the feeling beyond there.
Memories frequent me often.
I longed for that feeling of our hands interlocked under the sunset. 
The fullness of your laughter that vibrates beneath my cheek. 
The hues of orange and purple that colored our mid-summer skies. 
The essence of the green leaves brushing over our resting form.
The warmth that filled my heart from your auburn eyes. 
Years may pass, but the sound of your heart could never fade away. 
Perhaps, I lived as a shell. 
An empty vessel with no movement. 
The lights were dim when he set me free, but the fire in my heart had never burned brighter. 
Beneath the Rock Elm is where I was to find you.
When the time had come to be, you were already gone. 
Only then have I come to realize it.
You have also forfeit the place in my heart.

For her;
gloom burdened and
weeping clouds, relieved from boisterous summer thunderstorms, float
vagrantly above fields littered with flowers.
a tender breeze
rolls through us as the
wilted flowers persist in disregarding
their temporary petals plastered
in bright rays of sunlight. continuous beams peek out and
reach down, radiating
between the smallest parts of ourselves, bringing warmth back
to those forgotten groves.
Autumn looms ahead,
acting as a memorial for the
heat-stricken rage, suffocating
humility, and scorning drifters.
promising greener pastors ironically, as
trees pass as chameleons.
leaving the
weight of fragility to
find solace in the
thought of reincarnation.
mementos, like thistles,
stick to your socks.
carried unknowingly as you walk,
away through the woods,
onto unburdened paths.
at which we find ourselves, under the same clouds coated in moonlight,
and I'll be here to
help you pluck out the thorns.

These Poems
I thought it would get easier.
I thought the more time that passed it would hurt less and less.
It's coming up on three years and it still feels like a knife in my heart.
My friends keep getting pregnant and don't even want another baby and I smile tell them I'm so happy for them when I'm screaming inside my head.
Every baby I see is a constant reminder of the failure that is my broken womb.
I smile and tell him I'm perfectly fine with it just being the two of us forever but it's a lie and he knows it.
He repeats the same empty words back to me with the same empty smile and we don't talk about it for another month.
Every month I beg and plead to an unwavering God.
Every month I sit in the bathroom and silently sob.
I haven't bled in months and the tests are still negative and every single line shoves me deeper into the sadness and depression.
Sometimes I cry until I can't breathe and then I'm numb and just sit and stare.
I try to think of happy poems but there's nothing there.
These aren't the poems I can share with my friends.
These are the poems I keep hidden in my notes.
These are the poems I share with strangers on the internet.
These are the poems I never know what to name.
These are the poems I never know how to finish.

I crack under pressure I may have created
my skin spills red into hidden fabric
bandages shifting
threatening to expose what’s filled in but never the same
and let the world know I break
And they can’t know I break
They’ll want to watch next time

the emptiness echoes
a mournful lament of
discontent for a life
full of wonder lost
on a journey to find
the meaning of
love and happiness

So many feelings, twirling
So many words, disappearing
Ten thousand thoughts
Swirling in the void
Fading, disappearing
I reach and grasp
But it's no use
The words, the thoughts,
They're gone.
I catch a handful
But they're the wrong ones
I watch the ground as you ask
Over and over
Why can't you do it?
Is there something wrong?
And I just shrug
Because the words, the thoughts,
I'd had so many, only moments ago.
But now, they're gone.
Betrayed me
And I'm left here alone
Alone with the questions
That I have no answers for
Because the words,
They're gone.
But what can I do?
I open my mouth like a fish
And the only thing that comes out is
“Sorry”, or “I don't know”
Because they're the only words left
Still here
The rest have run,
They've gone so far away
And these are the only ones who stayed.
But they're not the words
You want to hear
I know
I see it in you face
I hear it in your voice
But there's nothing else
That I can say
-A poem by me, Charlie

The Glass Child
"Sorry, your brother needs me"
"This is important, maybe another time"
Always told to me, no matter how much I plea
I want your attention, is that a crime?
You act like I'm see through
Like you don't know I'm there
Is that true?
If something happened, would you even care?
What can a do to get your attention?
Maybe a broken arm, a bit of poison?
How I want to spill crimson
Then, I can be the main focus and not a gremlin
But instead, I feel made out of glass
Where no one sees me
Everyone is a pain in the ass
I guess its ment to be
~Soul

My inner child squirmed
My inner child convulsed
She's exerted
She's perverted
I'm meeting her finally
I'm feeling her righteously
She's the devil
She runs the coven
We accept our past
We accept our path
In serendipity we float
In serenity we gloat
What comes next is dire
What comes next is fire

Give Me Your Baggage
Give me your baggage, 
I'll carry it for you. 
Tell me your problems, 
I'll take care of that too. 
Hand everything to me, 
I'll make it wash away. 
Let out all your monsters, 
Regardless I swear to stay

Vanity
Oh, vanity is sorrowfully
pretty like me
with eyes splashed with midnight ocean whirlpools
and onyx, winged with soot butterfly wings of lashes
and rose petals dashed with the setting sun's rays as lips
Golden wine splashed over canvas as skin,
an archer's bow with a crooked little mistake at the top of impish carelessness as a nose,
Cheekbones taunting and high like any hope,
She looks like me over a sliver of a mirror, and she tempts
me to glorify her and me with her trickster's smile.
P.S. Yes I am obsessed with the idea of glorified vanity after reading this side of paradise by f. scott fitzgerald.

The Fight
Looking like she had it all together.
Hair piled to the sky, skirts below the knee
if not to the floor,
sleeves perfectly measured 3 fingers above her elbow
heels as high as she could get them and still be considered ‘holy’
The boldest accessories were the bags under sad eyes and the scars decorating soft thighs and arms
This was the only jewelry
Carefully wrapped in a trench coat of bitterness, shame, and pain.
Years pass like decade then like days.
Hair chopped, color changed
Trading skirts and dresses for jeans and leggings
Shedding those long sleeves for tank tops and crop tops
Switching from 'holy' heels to angry platform boots
Yet the accessories still remain.
Ever a maximalist, more can be added
The bags shoved under yesterdays makeup
Scars now covered with tattoos and ink.
These new boots stomp down the feelings and the pain until they are small enough to fight
Small enough to crush under the heel
pressing down until they explode
Splat!
Leaving scars in their acidic wake as a reminder of what used to be.
Now, breathe, relax.
She allows herself to sit down in the mess she is surrounded by.
Her war worn boots and clothes muddied from the fight and smoking from the sparks that flew from the fires of her spirit.
Exhausted and weary
Her soul is quiet.
Demons conquered and caged in the back corner of her mind.
Looking into the mirror and seeing herself in all of her holiness and glory
Nothing left to fight, no demons to conquer.
The horizon is quiet.

Pick your poison, she whispers, as she drinks in the disappointment from another day of a listless life rocked by shattered day-dreams
She looks around at the endless wreck her time here has been and a devastated sigh escapes the depths of her soul; her environment a direct reflection of the mess inside
She lights what she considers her elixir of life; a true savior of the battle inside oneself
In time, she will become the hero in her own story, but for tonight she rests

Lungs a rope and my chest is tied
Air is on low supply
Thoughts are racing
But no thoughts to race
Here is where I cry
