i don't want to

want her anymore.

i am tired of

breaking my own heart.

i spend all of my days

wishing she was mine

and all of my nights

hoping she never finds out.

i guess this is my curse;

unrequited love,

unreciprocated desire.

it consumes me whole.

it always has.

i am nothing if not a fool.

The summer breaks away into small things. Every story you know the ending to. Every chance you get, you will learn to say no. This isn’t what I wanted. I hate the summer and I hate the heat it brings. I have been longing for cold weather. I have been longing since the summer started. Is there the part where we come back? Is there a story that is just that, a story? Surely there isn’t a meaning behind every door. Every closed window. Every time it rains, I swear I can feel it, the part that is leaving. I just want to let go. I am so tired, did you know that? I don’t know if I have anything left to say. It was just summer, then fall, and into winter I will ice over. The leaves, too, will come with me.

i don't have any dark secrets

but i do have a few light ones.

and i don't mean light

in that they're not heavy

because fuck they are,

but rather... well,

my secret is that i am terrified

to tell her that i love her

and how could that possibly

be anything but sunshine?

how could loving her,

in whatever horrible

form that may be in,

be anything other than

the single greatest thing

i've ever done with my life?

it doesn't matter if

she doesn't love me back

if i never get the courage

to tell her anyway.

i will keep my secrets

buried deep inside and

hope that their light

is enough to keep me warm.

i will keep loving her

and i will keep it to myself.

there is something about silence that only the woods understand.

God

I don’t know what I believe anymore

Church left me with a thorn in my side

Religion left me with an ache in my chest

God left me

Who is God anyway?

But the compilation of power hungry men

Systems in place whose aim is control

Who is God?

But the reflection of your parents

Repeating the call and response idly

Who is God?

But the arms of a familiar lover

Their body, your communion

Who is God?

But the first sip of coffee in the morning

A sacrifice to your body for rising from the bed

Who is God?
