    It’s as if nothing makes sense until you’re sad.

    Every day the world gets a little bit longer. The days feel a little bit somber. Nostalgia builds to understand my emotions as a child. It’s not a type of sadness. It’s bittersweet moments I cling to. It’s feelings I used to understand. I realize the moment is far from here, yet feels so close. It’s what gets you in the end. It’s what makes you feel far but near.

    I wind into to wind outward. We broke each other to build forward. Some say true love hurts while some say it doesn’t. I believe everything hurts and to hurt is to gain. You build from memories, you build from past mistakes. Some errors aren’t quite detrimental as you gain the knowledge to learn past them. It’s up to you how you use that understanding and it’s up to you how you accept to take forth. You dive into the personal to realize the varying layers of yourself with intention to battle the previous which has been built.

    The older I get the more I realize things I miss. Eyes, vibrations, touch, scent of memories. We take things for granted because they don’t mean anything in that specific moment. Yet moments build and meanings form, memories create and a soft sadness underlies. However, it’s not sadness, it’s bittersweet and as you grow, you realize to be instead of to take.

    i’m slipping on lies of your mind
    your tongue tastes like cheap wine on a cold night
    and i’m tangoing in thought
    in a dark room with cold pictures
    twirling your fingers like your spine against mine
    it takes to breathe
    it creeps to see
    your eyes turn to ease
    my knees seem to buckle for thee
    and i hate to tell you
    how much i cold sin for you
    the shadows play in tongues at night
    your neck breaks like midnight
    and i’m swaying in the background
    in a dark twisted picture
    this mirrors seem to frost
    this is what hell feels like
    and i take to breathe
    i became to be
    i sin for thee
    i bask to be under seemingly
    my mood twists in night
    i wish this was in hindsight 
    the colors changing
    the lines are moving
    is this even real
    am i even here

    i bask for the hell of it

    i’m lying on ends of night
    twisting turns on beds that once felt nice
    i kissed the hands of many like wet malachite
    and i twirl in and out
    taking photos with my mind
    i’m lying in a coma and it seems all but right
    making lefts to take edges
    words and rhythm, wealth seems to be nothing
    to tango in the thought of everything
    it’s so tempting to be on flight
    i twirl in power, but feel no emotion
    i talk in tongues because they can’t feel the feeling of this
    to understand what this is
    and i take no thoughts to bed
    it feels like a coma, it’s so dark in here
    and i bare the thought to speak
    i rhyme in pure poetry
    to die like this would be my heaven
    to take the feeling of flying
    to touch the air would be something
    the clock ticks and the corners keep pulling
    have you ever fallen asleep in pure hostility?
    that’s what this feels like
    to break in edges
    to break beds
    to smash plates at walls
    the power to feel it all
    but say nothing
    i dance in my emotions
    a drug to feel something
    hidden sentences in paragraphs i said
    the humming is all but haunting
    words i said did come crushing
    yet it was far too long, far too fast
    a million miles too stretched
    the oceans once spoke
    and i listened to everything

    to feel the feeling of

    I used to feel you in night. How the clouds touched the waves and the way you said alright. I still feel your hair, I still see you there. In corners of doorways, wandering to wander. It was never about you. It was never about I. It was about we. The stimulation of brains to pulse towards. Some things seem of importance to some while importance lies in the eyes of the beholder. Neither are wrong, but time is only enough for some.

    Nostalgia hits because it was real. It was pure innocence of a moment. It wasn’t trying, it wasn’t based on ego. Nostalgic moments are times of existence when nothing truly mattered. It was you, your thoughts and yourself in a second. It’s a feeling of purity in a moment so truthful to your own being. That’s why it mattered enough to make an impact.

    Depth runs as far as you allow it. You have the movement to control it. You have the ability to consume to it. I still remember how you spoke. I still feel the vibrations of how you held the door. It’s how you take it. It’s how you allow it. It’s how you consume moments. It’s what you want to do with them and where you want to take them.

    i twist in oasis
    to turn pages in certain angles
    i begin to be, just to find time to–
    burn men in edges of sin
    lick the tips of their necks
    to taste the pain i play in dangers at night
    spinning in emotion of darkened masochism
    i break windows to see holograms
    different angles in deepened motions
    you were a gold mine and i danced on your fault lines
    drinking white wine, making the fault all mine
    i dance in havoc like that time in venice
    when your fingers stroke my spine
    felt like we were intertwined in damp power lines
    i touched your mind
    the rhyme was ill timed
    like your tongue on my neck
    i felt it again
    twists in bits in sins i play with
    the back of your head in shadows at night
    looking to follow forth but too dark to see it
     
    you left a mark
    yet i played it
    you felt too much
    i barely felt it
    you cried at night
    i’d lie if i said i didn’t
    yet you dance in moments
    to remember them
    your face is engraved in the darkest of sin
    i’ll always remember how you said it
    a dire moment stolen before it was spoken

    lying moments
