Itayntam Ll Poem
i cannot hide that i still think of you
a short romance you felt, but did not understand
you tell everyone what you never told me
ignoring what you did
hearing what you said
in those desperate attempts to wrap it all up into words
you trapped us
writing it off as confusion
forcing a conclusion
but I know it was there

Itayntam Ll Poem
As tarnish is thrown
I scrape it off
Till skin turns red
And blood pours over
As death circles the air
I’m the only one that knows
Who has passed
As soul corrupts
I was the only keeper
The sole holder
Only witness
Of what was before
As I watch—
self inflicted pain
Turns to undeserved hate
A final resort
To moving past
It’s not fair
I don’t want to be around
I was never supposed to be
I didn’t do this
Nevertheless, always
As the only holder
I will continue to scrape
This is my fight against hateful touch
I watch as it takes the other
I pay respects to what is no longer there
Sometimes as I watch
I’m not sure what was
For better or for worse
I am the only rememberer
Of nervous touch
And forever care
For better or for worse
I am the only rememberer
And that
is far too easy to forget

Itayntam Ll Poem
You’re laughing
And nothing is real
And I am here and you’re not coming
Maybe there was a time I wouldn’t have
My experience has always been joint
But now is different
And as I take my first step
You’re watching
And laughter quiets down
I don’t know what you saw
You didn’t say,
be careful,
don’t do it
You told me,
You’re okay
You’re okay
You’re okay
You’re okay
And now you weren’t watching me
Like a slice through ego
Through laughter,
Through me
I was being seen

Itayntam Ll Poem
Oh my teary eyed girl
I’ve been you
I am you
And I know
the answers I give,
You will not listen to
It’s cruel
All I say
I’ve heard from you
Your words
I use everyday
The heaviest truth
Is left unsaid
Yet the weight presses down
In every silent moment
When I cannot steer anymore
Like the ceiling of a house
That is soon to crumble
It’s a terrible home
I know, I’m sorry
You look at me,
we are silent,
But I can see
You can’t say
And I can’t either
We both know
It is nicer to keep inside
But the truth
squeezes, seizes,
at your throat
Speaking out loud
Puts an end
To the very thing
We are living for

Itayntam Ll Poem
sad, sad boy
you sit across from me
and I can't remember,
had we spoken before?
new clothes, favorite hair
same boy
I can't help but stare
stupid boy
i hope it's my influence
look at me
I'm your solution
I'm your solution

Itayntam Ll Poem
enough!
i'm calling your bluff
all of us can see
so true, yet so hidden from
you
and these stupid conclusions
you cannot make them filled with confusions
are you under some illusion? look!
you're bruised, this isn't delusion
do you really want to turn us to dust?
allow our sweet rays to rust?
oh.. now i choke on distrust
and this new found lust
say you come back,
could i take your warm attack?
have it leak into to my heart,
and watch it tear me apart?
truthfully,
i wouldn't think twice, gosh it'd be so nice..
is that vice?
i want to pay the price

Itayntam Ll Poem
When I am out
I hope to pass you on the street
I hope you look at me
and see me for what I am
what I was to you
I hope you lock eyes with me
and feel a softness take over you
that you just didn't notice before
When I am out
I am afraid of passing you on the street
because I will feel the warmth
I will feel the softness that you brought out of me
And I will finally see the truth
that you won't
because you never did
and never will

Itayntam Ll Poem
a rotten tree sprouts green
looking far more alive than it has ever been
filled with life it shielded itself from before
seeming it's most beautiful
whilst slowly being eaten alive
the rot becomes known
and now,
feeling most useless, it is most useful
to all, to all
piece by piece
it's torn apart
into a home
by all, for all
why don't they see
this too is temporary
traded for with permanence
is forever always stopped by someone else?
does anybody remember the seed?

Itayntam Ll Poem
I want,
more than anything
to be let into your world
the one which you've walked alone
whose buildings were built
by those who will never see their work
I don't care what it looks like
I'm not here for the pretty buildings that you are most proud of
I want to walk with you
barefoot, touching all the glass shards
which you left stained with years of your blood
fighting to pick up every piece that was left
of some of the tallest buildings you once loved most
No, I won't take the pieces you can't give away
I'm not that angel
I'll leave it all the way it was
I understand, that together they make up who you are
I don't want to change that,
But look again at what's been built
And see how much space there is for more
I want to hold the hand inside you
and walk through the streets where you grew up
Those that you can't bear to let anyone see
Together, we can look
And I'll hold your hand tighter
when you can't bring your head up
But look at me and these streets
Look at the buildings ahead of us that kiss the skies
how small everything here now seems
I'll walk it through, whenever you are ready to
Because I want,
more than anything,
for you to let me into your world

Itayntam Ll Poem
for better or for worse
does not matter to me
when you have been here for both
and turned each into the other
and for better or for worse
i miss you most
when you stand in front of me
so as my longest memory you will stay
and i
i am untouched by my greatest shaper
but i remain engraved
