Thankful

thankful

Even in my darkest hours, I know it could be worse, I know there are those suffering more than me.

I’m not thankful I’m better off than those worse off than me… I’d gladly suffer in their place.

I’m thankful that I understand this, that even in the darkest parts of me, that I’m not so far lost inside of me that I forget those that suffer.

I volunteer when I can, donate when possible. It will never be enough, but I’m also thankful that I realize that.

The Monsters (or Me)

Anger, dark, Poetry

Those ropes
Tight against my skin
Locked in the closet
Alone in the dark again
How many times
Had I been here before
Just one more monster
Being born within
How many of them
Were pushed into me
How many more
Were simply hiding
Already in my empty
Monsters born
Monsters already there
Looking back
How do I tell the difference
Between the monsters and me

I Don’t Love Easily

Love, Poetry, Sorrow

I don’t love easily
I love difficultly
It’s hard for me
To fall in love
And it’s hard
For others
To love me
And I would say
That I’m sorry
But I don’t know how
To love
Any other way

Demons Underestimated

Loss, Love, Poetry

We warned each other
How terrible our demons
And monsters were
We spoke of darkness
And all the reasons
The other should be afraid

But neither believed
The other could be so bad
We underestimated
Our demons and monsters
And so now here we are
Lost and alone
Broken

How Do You Say Goodbye

Goodbye, Love, Poetry

And in my melancholy
I close my eyes
And wonder
How do you
Say goodbye
When you never tasted
Together

How do you
Say goodbye
When you don’t know
How to let go
Of something
You’ve never held

How do you
Say goodbye
When all I want
Is to feel your skin
Pressed against mine

How do you
Say goodbye
When all I want
Is to never let go
For you to never let go of me

Waking Up Alone

Loss, Love, Poetry

Just once
To wake up
Feeling your skin
Pressed against mine

To feel as though
That were normal
How everything
Is supposed to be

But every time
I awaken
Cold and alone
I remember

Your skin is not
Pressed against mine
We aren’t together
There is no
Supposed to be

Bloody Hands That Let Go

Loss, Love, Poetry, surrender

The way my hands bleed
Every time I hold onto you
I swear I try to not let you go
But the blood
   it’s just so fucking slippery
Any every time
        you slip through
                  my bloody hands
I lose more of me
                  than I lose of you
I wish I remembered
    how to cry
How to let go of my demons
And maybe then
        just maybe then
I could finally learn
To hold you the way
You deserve to be held
And never fucking let go
                            of you again

Caught in the Storm

I need to feel the rain
See the lightning
Hear the thunder
Be caught in the storm
It’s the only time
I don’t feel alone
I don’t feel lost
Wrap me up
In your dark
In your violence
Break me
In the way
Only you can

Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

Loss, Love, Poetry

Somewhere lost
Between heaven
And hell
We fell into
Some dark
Kind of love

Filled with bloody lust
The kind between
Hungry snakes
And angry dragons
Leaving behind
Jagged scars

Stuck between
A tide that pulled
And demons
That only knew
How to push
We lost our way

And now all that’s left
Between that heaven
And that hell
Are words that never
Should have been
Left unsaid

I Can’t

Loss, Love, Poetry

I can’t let you
Continue to hurt me

I can’t continue
To let myself hurt you

I can’t be this person
That keeps coming back

I can’t keep being
Weak when I
Need to be strong

I can’t stop you
From being who you are
But I can stop
Being who I’m not

I can’t seem to remember
When things got this way
Was it from the beginning
Or was there some
Sign I missed one day

I can’t
As much as I want to
I can’t
