and here we have.    this display of.                                       .-this-.

one book.

     one note.

          one site.

               one page.

                    one        whole       collection.

mutually assured                                                                    Demolition

                                                                                                  Perpetuation

one whole collection

tucked              .between.             coversof

purehaze                 …                morningfog

and all for

the useless drain

            we never could get anywhere

from here

but down

then oscillate

—   

and it never ends

.until.

this sweet carbon-monoxide lullaby

sing me to sleep

tucked between covers of

despondent.

drags straight

back up

to embers.

and we surface again

and it’s a head-lining tragedy

………….

if you’re successful enough

if you’re sick enough

you know i used  …   to wish                                                                                                                                                   i could

But  -then-   i was foolish                                                                                                                                    now i’m just at the threshold                                                                                                                                                                                           …

how terrible-y romantic

how cold-pale-waxy blue

to whom this may concern

best friends means/you never knew/well, i never told you

oh, how did we grow so estranged? i wondered it long enough, but i think i’ve sorted a few things out. it’s not you, it’s me. it’s you reacting to me reacting to me. yes, guilt. it’s one hell of a drug. works hellish wonders on the brain. in the span of one night, one final night where i didn’t live with the same regret. not regret in the way you might think. just guilt. you don’t know why things changed so quick. like a switch. but that’s between me and a pile of empty bottles. no one else. not even they could afford to stay long. i may be stupid, but i ain’t that fucking stupid. no even back then, i wasn’t.

it’s funny. i keep wondering, “when’s the right time?”. is there ever even a time for this? i don’t know if i should ever tell you. it’s not like i can ask anyone to weigh in. at least, not anyone that’s not in my head.

perhaps that’s just selfish, though. i’ve done enough selfish shit. ruined your whole goddamn life by simply being in it, but that’s another thing for another day. that one night was goddamn selfish, though. imagine if i’d ruined your birthday permanently. imagine that.

don’t. please don’t.

i don’t think you’ll ever know. maybe telling you would permanently ruin it. and telling you is just plain selfish. i’d only do it for me, not for you. and if things are to be good, better, it’s you not me.

i just wish we weren’t so estranged. but how does one not let a secret like this divide us? hell, it’s divided me from most of the world, in dividing us. it’s worse than sleeping with your best friend’s spouse or significant other or whoever. it’s far far worse than that. and i know that.

and i know, i should never tell you.

so where do we go from here?

a little site update

hello! this site is going temporarily private because i used some of the poems from here and edited them to apply for a class. i really don’t want anyone i know in real life to find this, so in case they do plagiarism check and find this, i really don’t want to explain this site. it’ll go up again as public once i get rejected or in to the class though 🙂

related to this, i’ll probably be updating the site look slowly (and have updated a few things already) because it has been a while since i’ve updated most pieces of this site.

hairtrigger

3.2.1.

we meet again at midnight.

swerve. crash. bang.

can’t promise any good beyond that.

can’t promise there won’t be fire either.

send the phantoms just in case

i fade again at midnight.

a fall (the philosophical significance is it doesn’t fucking matter. whether or not it made a sound. it didn’t make a difference. it doesn’t make a difference.)

i think. i don’t quite know.

i wonder if, you’d wonder the same.

you don’t. you and i both know that.

i can see you pass me by.

two cars, headed straight on.

never crashing.

i never crash.

i never even turn the lane

to meet you at the concrete barrier.

not for more than a passing moment.

forgettable moment.

i think, it’s all quite strange.

i think, the sounds of the world

they drown me out.

i let them drown me out.

still i cling to small things like this

to drown the world out.

still i find you

you do the opposite.

you’re so silent and i’m so silent.

but you’re so great and i’m so

i don’t. i’m not here.

but it’s all over again, really.

i know just how this story ends.

i knew right from the moment

when i took the book off the shelf.

i’d seen the plot play out before

it’s become a cliche by now.

our pages split down the middle

blur only with stormwater

and even then, rarely.

confessions of a narcissist

i

can’t do jack shit

i

was born to lose

i

can’t fucking do this anymore.

somewhere along the line, we deluded ourselves. we were destined for greatness.

of fucked-up distress-fueled glory.

oh how wrong we were to think / / / that immortality was ever an option.

i. end.

bang. / / / bang.

(youknowiwont)

11:10

i’m so very cold.

won’t you come pick me up? i’m down there, probably twenty-seven meters. bring enough oxygen for a few hours. it’s all it should take.

i think i’m faded off again.

i think i realized it looking at the turtle on the log.

i’m not really sure it’s real. i see fuzzy blue bugs on the walls of the bathroom stall.

yes i’ve had another breakdown in those metal confines. freezing in my tracks as the curtain shifts and crunches in a quick and unintentional threat.

it all feels so intentional.

maybe that’s becasue i know it. i know i’ve had it coming.

all the bad and terrible.

if time’s fluid than what i do now will come back to bite me in the ass, in the past. to make me a terrible human today.

it’s a loop, but i’ve caused it, so who am i to complain.

a̶n̶y̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶e̶

quietquietquiet

qhy am i still here.

i’d really love to punch you in the face.

i’d really love to shoot me in the face.

i’m too narcissistic to do that.

no.

i really loathe you, you know, but i can’t bring myself to make it pure.

that’s reserved for myself.

selfish, aren’t i. saving all that unadulterated hate for myself.

i am the only one who knows me. i am the only one who can jodge me. i am the only one who can hate me.

and know just what i’m hating. and why,

i can’t bring myself to hate anyone but myself.

and even still, i’m such a fucking self-obsessed freak.

greedy and selfish and fuckedupbeyond belief

i make myself sick. i can feel the fucking bile rising in my throat. ialwaysdothisialwaysdothiswhydoialwaysdo this.

getitoutgetitoutgetitoutwhydoihavetofuckitallup

someone lock the door to my room.

i need to be alone. i need to remove myself from life and float in my head for a little while until i’m done wasting.

ohgodihateme.
