i see you
dark corners at night
how i used to feel alive
it breaks the edges of my being
to feel you
it feels like something
creatures of the night
horrors i used to find
in crevices deep down
at the base of my heart
how you tugged with joy
creating feelings
of a harsh divine
i tango in your walls
letting it all flow
fucking your mind
i felt left behind
and now the muse is gone
shadows blind from the light
feels dark inside
the hollow of my spine
the vertebras you stole
i used to be alive

used to

Instead of appreciating things I did, he thought he deserved it. But the thing is, you don’t deserve anything.

truth of the matter is
i’ll always dance for you
bending my knees
transitioning hallways
holding means
with you in mind
i wade with the wind
i feel you slip on thoughts
gliding across
your legs twined with sheets
the gray of your kitchen
light of your home
how a universe could crash
with worlds aligned
i heard you say
the hurt you said
i reminisce
your hand upon my lap
tuesday mornings
a kiss
we turned with tables
mixing chairs
when love was there
instead of flowing with the wind
being within

consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements; intricate

shaken by the sea
waves of your mean
hands which laid beside
twirling your being
bleaching the stains clean
i hold your knees
grabbing your heart
three years of a dark
filled hole we called happiness
i loved your toxic
the scrutiny you tossed
with blood roses
you
which were a dime a dozen
frozen in the waves
that had rust the deepest parts
of my loveless soul
i felt you
glistening under
creating things
how i said we
instead of i
how i loved you more
and more
every day

resentful

The sad truth is moving on and knowing they’ll never love someone else as much as they loved you.

I might compare them to you. But it might be for the right reasons instead of how you treated me.

i dance to your slumber
a vacant heart you followed
feeling of the beat
it felt threatening
i sway inwards
towards your soul
things you showed me
things you loved
the affection consumes
the broken pieces
shades and bones
how you filled the holes
of my taken soul
i grabbed your hands
your eyes rolled back
the happiness fused
the cold shaken dark
reds and hues
the happiness you oozed
i always loved you
it was déjà vu

past to you

We built a home together, but then you decided it was just for you.

i caress
the smooth of your chest
the crave you beg
knees bent
touch of your ribs
strong hands
taste of your lips
we descend
shades of december 26th
