Cracking Up (June 2019)

Is this just to placate?
Do I see diamonds in you?
The cracks in you let out such beautiful light
Cleansing myself in your honesty

Daydreams of potential
Words that never happened
How large is our seed?
May time speak

From tumultuous wild you arose
So close, yet couldn’t touch
Figment of potential
Have we overhyped out of depravity?

Depths of despair, I found you there
Wise words in a foreign tongue
Float or sink
May time speak

Redundancy Test (June 2019)

Apologies were made for occasions like this

I tried to drink myself to death

I almost won

The burden almost broke my shoulders

Sleepless nights and mental fights

I couldn’t roll over on you

I almost found answers at the bottom of cheap bottles

I stopped recognizing myself

I thought this wasn’t about me

You spoke through silence

You deserved my best

You deserved the rest

The moments we never had

Those feelings never die

Am I lucky to not perish from my own hands?

Am I too scared to conclude our final chapter?

Infinite hiatus

I still need us
