Black Hole

The best thing a black hole can do for the universe is die. You need a connection in order to survive. Do you really think the mere fact that you’re alive is more important than those you love getting to thrive?

Poetry

noise

The rot is subcutaneous, it leeches out from inside. My bones were decomposing before any of them arrived. So it's difficult to blame. Was I born this way, or was I maimed? It's not like knowing that would change anything redirect what life could bring, but

Poetry

Thank you Peter

The very best of men Trying to make amends Brilliant supernova feeding a black hole Feeling your lungs collapse Barely allowed to relax You held on long enough to teach me the meaning of love I’ve been praying up above not knowing who I’m thinking of I hope

Poetry

Shields Up

I’m pushing away those who pretend to care for me deeply. Who turn blind eyes to rotten fruit so that they don’t feel ill at ease. I’m pushing away those who stay silent when I speak vulnerably. They never owed me consideration, but without it I would

Poetry

The Price Of A Soul

What is one human being worth to another? Knife in the back from the one you called brother Actions outside of ourselves cause an ache You lie alone in bed and call it all your mistake My bad I walked right past red flags I gave you a chance and

I caught the words. My throat swells up. Jagged rockwall of things untouched. Rockfall holds the potential to crush. Isn’t a slow burn easier to adjust? I admit I’m giving up on us. Too scared to give you a chance so I rush. An hour or two, I

Poetry

Poetry
