Last Forever

i thought
the memories,
the feelings,
the attachment,
would last forever
but now i feel
them drift away
with each sunset i watch
and each breath i take

i told myself too many lies
i need
i have to
i cant
those lies 
were so comforting
the obligation to stay
was a good excuse 
not to move

now
i move my feet
across the desert
i move my lips
and the words that come out
become truer

i thought it would
last forever
but now i know
im the only thing
that ever will

Still Love

i dont like thinking of you
as something that ended
as if the connection doesn’t transcend 
the confinement of a commitment 
as if our minds didn’t see 
eachother so well
mine still loves yours

i dont mean romantic love
i mean pure
platonic love
not for a feeling you get in your stomach
not a relationship you have to maintain
i mean love
for a person
for a soul
i mean love for their all
who they were
who they are
and who they will be
for their dreams
and their actions 
the way they treat the gas station clerk
the way they say thank you out loud
to passing cars

i dont want anything from this type of love
its not anything selfless,
its just contentment 
knowing you exist
that you’re out there
somewhere

is it selfless to hope
that you’re happy

Wilting

I lift my face away from my screen
the morning light surprises me 
and fills the room
with a eerie comfort
I stumble to the kitchen
swallow my prescribed sanity

I don’t miss the sleep
just like I don’t miss you

no one notices the flowers are wilting
til they fade away

Insanity

i still think
about coming back
being with you
doing the same things
we used to do
it would be so easy
to sink back into old ways
to think of you
the way i used to
to look at you
the same way
i once did
but we’ve done this
twice already
and some people say
third times a charm
but i think at this point
we’re just holding on
to love
that shouldn’t exist

the definition of insanity 
is doing the same thing
expecting a different result
so what are we expecting 
that it will work
that we wont hurt each other
that we’ll make it
to that picture perfect future

when i look at it i think
we could do it
maybe if we tried harder
had more understanding 
maybe if i was healthy
but then again
shouldn’t i expect the same from you
you think you are
you think drinking every day
is just something you’re choosing
you think not being able
to show affection 
is because you're tired
the mention of your trauma
affecting you
is quickly shut down
i'm fine
you say
i don't think about it
you should too

oh how i wish
i could show you what its like
to be free
of the things
that weigh down your brain
but you cant explain it
you cant understand 
unless you’ve felt it

i'm standing
near the end
of the tunnel
i can see the light
and i'm running towards it
i tell you look
but you’re so far back
you don't even believe me
you say i don't see it
that i'm behind you
further in the darkness
but you couldn’t be
more wrong

Clouds

I have risen from the ash
dusting myself off to start
scrubbing the nooks of my being
and over time
I will be clean again

Like a lotus flower
Blooming out of mud
becoming the symbol of purity

I come from the mud
desire and hate
searching for the truth
grasping at shiny things
It turns out glass can cut you

Now I crane my neck 
as we drive past trees
Staring up at the clouds as I walk
I run into something 
and shift back into this reality
This reality that we focus on so much

Planning, speaking, worrying
like the sky wasn’t looking down on you all this time
like the cells of those plants were’t turning the sun into fuel
as you sat in anger over what was said to you
words spoken from the lips of another earthly being
coming from a mind that has not walked your path

I spent so much time wallowing in the mud
not knowing
the clouds were there the whole time

Let Go

I lie inside myself
the pain lands on my chest
like a boot unknowingly crushing flowers
why should I stay?
the cycle always continues
why should i keep going
trying
when everything I create
is bound to be destroyed?

this is easier
easier than fighting
scratching and clawing
nonstop
just to stay on the edge of the cliff
if I could just let go
