10.24.19 (today is a good day)

I wish I could say
That somehow I’ve grown from the pain
But it lingers on
And in many ways I feel the same.
Nightmares sting the day
Memories turned astray
Hard to recall what’s real
And what’s fake

My eye has been twitching
For nearly two months
I don’t think I’ve slept more than five hours
Without the help of drugs or alcohol
Tossing and turning
In a loveless bed
Can’t trust the manic thoughts
Swirling about my head

Some days I feel stuck to a dream
Others I feel like absolutely nothing
Some days I revel in friendship
Others I wish to be dead to the world
Some days I feel a bit lighter
Others feel as if I’m sinking into nothing
Some days I don’t think of you as often
But most days you’re everywhere

10.10.19 (close)

10.19.19 (saunter)

Looking for catharsis
But finding only pain
Thought things would be different
Still feel the same
Regret stings the air
With the burden of shame
I saunter on
Carry the blame
Love still burns me
Sets me aflame
I am still in love
Only hear your name

10.10.19 (long forgotten)

Close my eyes
You’re all I see
Because I made you 
A part of me

Try to turn
And look away
Stuck in my mind
You are here to stay

Once i tried
I can’t forget
Echo inside
Words once said

I don’t want to be in love anymore
I don’t want to feel this pain anymore
I don’t want to be in love anymore
I don’t want to feel this pain anymore

09.18.19 (sour)

These rotten apples
Of love
That I
Have been left to mull over
Sour all thoughts
And inclinations.
No decision is free from
The remnants of it.
I carry around it’s stench
Day in and out,
And at night
It manifests in
A paralyzing
Insomnia.
My eye has been twitching for a week.
This is not the way
It was supposed to be. 

09.27.19 (nap)

Just a short nap time dream
Where I stare
Into your green eyes
And cup my hand
Against your cheek
And feel you lean into it
Is enough to make tears
Spout forth from my eyes
And although that was yesterday
I still feel empty today.
