to close your eyes
- press your eyelids together,
so that one meets the other
wetly.
Lie flat, still
and allow your knees to touch,
for as long as you forget
that they are touching.
The Dark will be with you, staring -
(do you remember your shelves?
the night will do to you
what time did your shelves,
make them quiet,
until fingers run along them
again.)
do not be afraid.
Instead, be still,
it will soon be over.
A few hours in
and you will forget about the feelings
of your chest expanding
and your mouth growing dry.
if you open your eyes -
(take it all in
the yawning night.
she is black
and soft,
you have plenty of time to get to know her.)
There will be nothing worth seeing,
continue trying.

Gone
It's like a punch in my gut
A hole in my throat
Cotton in my head
I can't seem to accept the reality
I see your grave
I sit in your empty chair
Watch as your room became just a memory
The old photos of us smiling
The memories of us laughing
The old songs we used to sing
It both haunts and comforts me
Life has never been easy
But now it'll be so much harder
Time became my enemy
Fooling me into believing I had so much more
Just turn the clock back
Rewind the tapes of those happy memories once more
Come back to me
Tell me it'll all be ok.
But there's a sting in my heart
And it reminds me you're gone
I know this pain will be with me always

Liminal Depression
liminal depression
your ecstatic expressions
are lost on me
when I see your unreachable face
my eyes glisten
I wish you could reach into my mind
and read all the thoughts I’ve left behind unspoken
you might be surprised
at how long I can listen
when you pour out your thoughts
to my open ears
and your open arms
were always my favorite place to be
and you know you can always stay over
and you know
I love you more than anything
even if I can’t bear to show it
liminal depression
when I can’t tell you everything I think anymore
and honestly I never could though I wanted
so badly to try
I’m afraid
of everything you say and

Her Life
I saw her life in those eyes
with cut-throat stares
and withered looks of daze,
each lid half open
and their cores darted where
they thought it was safe.
Her pupils swirled as hurricanes
with streaks of rain
maroon across a razor blade.
Sharing what words can't speak
and luring in the
sting of the day.
I saw her life in that skin,
painted with a tiny needle that could
delve deeper in what she knew
and who she was, then what.
Like an apple tossed aside to rot
darted across were plum-hue stains
and beautiful scars, an abstract dance of
healing and hurt.
Covered in what she screamed,
her body was masked in poetry,
long-tol
