i should've shown it more
i lurked
taking in your ventilation like a filter
utterly fascinated by the purity and
pain that rang in my soul like lead butterflies
until one day they dropped

Trick Yourself. Its Healthy
I want to write but I can't find the words
I guess maybe I should stop trying to write about you
But I can't help it
so I trick my self to write about you
about how I can't write about you
Progression, progression, progression
You are no where near me yet I can feel your breath on my neck;
the moist mist of your putrid c02 evade my nostrils like mustard gas.
and all I can do, and will do
is look out the window at the passing cars, blurring like a vomited
Pablo Picasso conception.
It makes me sick so I close my eyes and focus on the
propulsion.
Progression.
Progression.
Progression.
old man makes me feel
awkward when he stares
like that
its almost like he knows
i have been forgotten
he stares unblinking
while his dog snaps and
snarls at the toddler
i'd swear he is mocking me
but his stone face speaks other wise
you taste how heroin feels, he says by WithLove-FromMe, literature
Literature
you taste how heroin feels, he says
he says,
"you taste how heroin feels."
and while his dry cracked lips curl
at the end into drug induced happiness,
he settles into the euphoria of the intoxication.
"you're my diamond and diamonds last forever."
while guilt erupts through me like a science project gone awry,
i cling to you and cling t
we resolved like a car crash by WithLove-FromMe, literature
Literature
we resolved like a car crash
We resolved like the sickening crash to the indefinite skidding of tires on pavement when the wrong cards are dealt and you forget your lucky rabbit's foot in the shoe box beneath your bed.
Oh, how oblivious I was to the truth that we were living in that final inhale before impact; absent to the true potential of what our separation was capable of.
And now here we are like the twisted metal and carnage splayed on the pavement in hot July for all to see.

I nearly forgot what you looked like from a horizontal perspective
and how it felt to be two equal signs amongst numbers.
Yet, it is true too, that I tried to train myself to banish that sort of math.
We are not the product.
Let’s stop trying to multiply.
We
are
divided.
The distance I feel is not like
the way the road stretches up and over
hillsides for as far as the eye can see
Or,
The distance that is marked between
Two x's on a map signifying HERE and THERE
No.
This is not speaking to you for days
and knowing you didn't notice a damn thing
missing
I am no good for you. by WithLove-FromMe, literature
Literature
I am no good for you.
"I am no good for you."
You remember those words as clear as I do. After all, they were uttered from my lips.
"I'll be the judge of that." You just don't know what you are getting your self into. Yet, I stay quiet.
You invited me into your arms with a small gesture and kissed me. Your lips were salty from tears and tender from all the nibbling you had done.
I bet you look back and realize you should have heed my warning.

bees instead of butterflies
sorrow erupts through me
and ricochets around my
hollowed ribcage like a
delirious bumble bee
in a half closed palm.
the buzzing resonates
from within with a hum
until the reality sets in
with a harsh sting.

Her physical flesh couldn't withstand the guilt anymore.
The unmerciful wretched feeling began deteriorating the
young girl's chest cavity like maggots to rancid meat.
Her sternum, now the consistency of an over ripe apple,
held her finger indentation as she tested it's dexterity.
As confession went unsaid, the decomposition progressed.

Literature
you told me you loved me again
i.
i crawled back into your web of lies
today.
you told me you loved me (again)
and so i stood there with my
forehead pressed against your chest
while trying to convince myself this was the
last time.
you said something but all i could hear
was your heart beating in my head like
a ritual drum.
ii.
i crawled back into your bed last night.
you told me you were sorry (again)
but i didn't let you touch me.
that made you angry so we slept back to back
while listening to the tic-toc of your alarm clock.
you told me you loved me (again)
and i pretended to be asleep.

You are leaving in a week. by WithLove-FromMe, literature
Literature
You are leaving in a week.
"You are leaving in a week."
I say as if you didn't know that.
Why did I feel the need to state the obvious?
I guess that was my way of telling you I was going to miss you.
"Yep, one week."
I hope that was your way of reciprocating my emotion.
"Yep..."
I mean, what more can I say?
Is that it? Aren't you going to miss me? I am going to miss you.
No.
I just turn my phone off and cry.
the spine to our
romance novel was not strong
enough to bind the pages
of our love story anymore
and no matter how frantic i try
to stack, staple and clip
the pages they just keep flowing
like the cascades of waterfalls
on my cheeks that makes puddles
in my shoes
boy,

strange choking sound you make

there is a sun spot over your face now
i've been looking at the sun for too long
a blue blob replaces your face now
and everything that was once right is now wrong
is it such a crime-
to seek some sunshine?
“It’s an irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation causing you to have a compelling desire to avoid it.”
“Then yes, I have a phobia towards love.” Your nose crinkled while your eyes tried to solve me.
“No, I don’t think you understand what I am saying…” You carry the two. It shouldn’t be too hard.
