I sometimes wish I could dissect myself
And take out the soft parts of me
Because what good is a tender heart, anyway?

Unfurl
Let the rain in
Drink
Deeply inhale
The scent
Of atmosphere
Reach
Uncurl your fingers
Grasp atoms
Upon atoms
Fists full
Of molecules
Breaths
Uncategorized
Notions
Of second chances
Unfurl
And let the weather
In

Some write
From ripened thoughts
Their minds
A place where
Every glance of the world
Is a new seed
To their frugal minds
I wish
My eyes wrote
The beauty in the sky
Yet they trail
Beneath brittle flesh
Grasping the
Melancholy songs
Of ghosts
Hearts

Main Street
Cracks in sidewalks
Cracks in voices
Rows of caged trees
Present fake choices.
The root consumes
Crawling through veins
There’s nothing to do
But wait for rain.

Do I know why I wrote this? No. Is it even good? Lol probably not. I was just vibing and couldn’t get it out of my head, so enjoy.
Ash is falling from the clouds, the skin a-crimson glowing;
The end is fast approaching now, hear trumpets of hellfire blowing.
Hear strings of metal upside down, the demon bats are flying;
The bard, he does what heroes do, he saved his friends from dying.
One more season soon to come, I hope you’ll hear me still;
As Shakespeare said, there is a way,
it starts and ends with Will.

You always were blue.
It never made sense,
Blue is such a sad color,
And you were always my sunshine ball.
But I guess I always knew,
I knew I would get disappointed by you.
I know you don’t mean to,
But now my heart is the one being teared apart, every time we interact.

I invite other people over
when I can only think of you.
Do you ever think of me?
Probably not.
And if you cannot think of me...
How can I only think of you?

helios
and he falls
he is beautifully human
so he must fall
ego and arrogance
that the heavens would carry his body up high
but the heavens are a sinful mist
and he slipt through their grasp
wax melting then cooling
into teardrops against his skin
he cried out he loved me then
and he falls
nothing more nothing less
beautifully human just as he is
so i can see him stripped bare
melting away his plumage
my love burns
such is why he fell
i loved him
i loved him
i killed him

The worst is not wanting tomorrow to start
Not because I don’t want tonight to end
But because tomorrow is coming too soon
I whisper into the night,
“Take it back, take me back,”
But I don’t know if anything is listening

The scars you left.
You were the reason.
I stood up at nights.
You were the reason.
I could still smile.
You were the reason.
My heart still shined.
Oh you were the reason.
My life could be bright.
But the day you left.
You left a part of you.
Always to be with me.
And I didn't know at all.
What to do with that.
I wanted to run away.
Catch up before it's late.
Give you back your part.
So you could have your heart.
But I didn't know at all.
What to do with that.
I'm sorry, since you left.
I left you a part of my heart.
If you couldn't have it all.
At least a part of the sun.
Can be your ball of sunshine.
I think you saw yourself bad.
Like you were the whole moon.
And I was the sun supposed to.
Bring light to your existence.
But it is clear that didn't work.
I painted these pages with blood.
Cause your nails left a scar.
You held too tightly to my back.
And now I can't stitch together.
The skin you ripped off that night.
It's pretty crazy.
I'm going to admit it.
I really loved you.
And for a minute I did.
Question reality.
Should I leave it all?
Is this person,
somehow the one?
Am I going insane?
Am I really thinking,
of leaving it all for her?
Well that's what I thought.
Cause I never decided to.
And if that was a mistake.
Guess I'll never truly know.
You know we didn't fit.
But I still wonder sometimes.
Could we have made it?

late night poems
I loved her
and not just because she was there for me everytime I needed her
not just because she made me smile and cry and laugh and feel
not just because she was cool punk rockstar with blue hair and arms full of tatoos who just wanted to be held and adored for her cute and soft side, the side that wanted to run through meadows and braid dandelion crowns 
I loved her because she adored me
because she saw the best in me
because after months she finally gained my trust
because in the dark of a night I shared with her my deepest secrets, things I was so ashamed of, so terrified to say out loud 
I loved her because she worshiped all parts of me
because in my own eyes I was just broken peace of a person, someone too demaged to be loved, too intense, too rotten
but even after all those nights 
in her eyes i shined as bright as stars on the sky

“what i want someone to feel for me”
she is standing there, nothing and everything at once.
she is soil, dirt, earth, dew through my fingers 
a window enthralled by stars trapped in its glass
cotton candy rain in a fizzing gold sea
i want her to change me.
cleanse me, erase me
bring me within and rebirth me in light 
that is not shining into but from her
today and always, even all the time
i will hold you and love you
and i’ll never be shade in the glow
that you cast upon me, upon us, on the world.
she squeezes my hand and my circuits glow amber
i love you. god, i love you. 
oh, sweet darling, my opalescent sun
if only you knew how much.
— e.
