You know, sometimes I feel
like I was born with a leak,
and any goodness I started
with just slowly spilled out
of me, and now it’s all gone.

I swear I saw sparks the first
time we touched, but I guess
I was wrong because as it turns out,
it was just the sun in my eyes, blinding
me from seeing so clearly that
you don't love me.

settling for something that does not make
you happy is like diving underwater for air.

I'LL NEVER BE WHAT YOU SEE INSIDE. YOU SAY I'M NOT ALONE, BUT I AM PETRIFIED. YOU SAY THAT YOU
ARE CLOSE, IS CLOSE THE CLOSEST STAR? YOU JUST FEEL TWICE AS FAR, YOU JUST FEEL TWICE AS FAR.

He had gold-brown eyes
like topaz on a
mahogany surface
but their warm color
could not melt
the ice they held
(I was tired of chilled bones
unable to thaw)
freckles
like cinnamon sprinkled
over cream skin
but they seemed to
spell out warnings
when I looked again
(of poring over
unconnected dots
that made my head spin)
a mouth
soft and pink
as ripe fruit
but a hornet was
always hovering
poised to attack
at the slightest provocation
(of pulling barbs
out of a wounded heart
and stung pride)

i. if love is desirable why do we compare it to falling? (make reference to icarus, and the color of his eyes in the sun)
ii. on a scale of one to ten how messy is your bedroom right now? (compare this to the past, and the way he makes you feel at 2 am)
iii. why do you write poetry? (mention the way he tilts his head when he laughs, and how he moves his hands when he talks)
iv. why are you awake? (he fúcks up your head and he fúcks up your heart and he fúcks up your sleeping pattern and he doesn't even know, he doesn't even know)

Time is very slow for those who wait.Very fast for those who are scared.Very long for those who lament.Very short for those who celebrate.But for those who love, time is eternal.

you deserved the universe. you deserved it all.
your name was always caught in my throat. now it is flowing freely off my tongue, and i wish you could hear just how often. but that would change everything.
i always wanted to know you. dare i say i do?
my ears itch for your voice to say i can come in. i don't want to intrude. i don't want to intrude. i don't want to intrude. but i want to u n d e r s t a n d.
stranger is such a harsh word.
i think i'm in love. ((everyone here leaves so quickly, i hope you linger.))
i should have told you back then.
but you deserve the universe. you deserve it all.
-T.s., friends come and go

I'm really sleepy, but I have some thoughts to share before I go to bed.
1. I think I'm lonely because I go too fast and look in the wrong place at the wrong time. And because I'm scared of letting people close in case we don't click like we thought we would (like we think we do).
2. I want a pet lizard, but if I get a pet cat as well, will my lizard be safe? I love reptiles. I want a gecko. And a snake. Lots of snakes.
3. I found a word for the squeezing throat and burning corners: touch-starved.
4. I have very, very few friends. And maybe none left in this country.
5. For a very long time, years, I have been the one who writes the heartbreaking stories. When my friends want angst, they come to me. Today, I learned about myself that perhaps I can finally close that chapter. I want more happy stories in my life.
6. I have known some cruel facts for a long time: telling the truths about me = dissowned. And I have long resigned myself (re: tried, failed, struggled) to the idea that I'd never live a full life for it. I am not -- cannot be, not me, not who I am now -- selfish enough to throw away my family for that. But I'm tryhing to look at it in a gentler light. I'm trying to treat myself like I would something I loved, rather than something heavy I have been forced to carry.
7. Nobody really talks to me. Not really. Or at least, very few people; not many people reach out to me. I think they care, but I don't think they care that much. Not enough that it matters how I'm doing if I'm not right in front of them... I would like to change that, somehow.
8. I want my gender to not matter to me.
Okay. Goodnight. xo
