One day you will be dead.
I worry about that day.
Not because I think I'll miss you.
But because of all of the things that could've been.
Like, you loving me...
Caring...
Even just acknowledging my presence.
But you don't.
I wonder how I will cope.
I also wonder if you'd look down on me.
See yourself from the outside and how you've treated me.
Would you regret it?
Would you be embarrassed?
Would you be ashamed of yourself?
Because you should.
But I don't think you ever will.
There was always this weird space afterwards;
like the calm before the storm but backwards.
A lull.
A space where everything moved around me,
becoming more vibrant, colourful,
and lively.
It's a space where I can see things so clearly.
It's where I realise that these things have always been there,
I just didn't see them,
or pay attention.
A plateau where I can see forever.
The hills part for me so I can.
That's where forever is -
in this lull after the storm.
Sometimes the storm is brutal.
Sometimes is comes back to visit.
Sometimes it nearly breaks me.
Sometimes I nearly crumble.
But every time the lull comes,
I'm filled with a flood of
Falling down the rabbit hole,
Alice in Wonderland.
Never did I expect that the thud at the bottom
would be so grand.
Plunging, deep down that rabbit hole,
Falling for years and years.
An ugly, black hole
full of some of my worst fears.
Now I'm at the bottom,
I feel so free.
You are exactly where
I'm meant to be.
You're the bottom of the hole
that I've been searching for.
The rock that grounds me
and moves me to the core.
I loved you before I even landed
and I didn't even know.
Now that I'm here,
I cannot stop the flow.
It pours out of me from every pore;
happy and content, written all over my face.
Everyone can see it, so obvious.
You ar
Like a pebble sending ripples over the water,
your kiss sends goosebumps over my body.
It feels as though your lips know me,
like they've been reacquainted after a long holiday.
The most heavenly of reunions happen,
every
single
time
they meet.
We communicate more than words ever could,
with these lips, these kisses.
I've tried many times to articulate it,
how I really feel about you.
It never seems to work,
it doesn't feel like enough.
But these kisses we share together,
they're a piece of the magic that is me and you.
Laying in the Autumn leaves,
looking up through bare branches.
The sun gazing down, lovingly;
the breeze gently dancing on skin.
Long, deep breath in;
the ground below feels cool.
A smile parting pale cheeks,
finally feeling free.
Footsteps felt through cool ground.
A shadow cast as a silhouette appears.
Eyes adjust to the change in light,
until I see you.
You lay beside me, leaves crunching.
The strangest feelings build within;
and your face feels like home.
Your hand, mine, fingers entwined.
You are the freshest breath of air,
filling lungs, tugging heart strings.
Eyes closed now, soaking up the moment;
long, deep breath out.
Our hearts have always been intertwined;
mine is yours and yours is mine.
Watching you deteriorate before my eyes;
hoping, wishing, praying that what I was seeing was lies.
But the truth unfolded in such a cruel way;
I realised nothing I did would make you stay.
Those last few days will stay with me forever;
it’s not something I would wish on anyone, not ever.
Bedridden, with the essence of you nearly gone;
the sadness in my heart weighing a ton.
Laying next to you as you struggle to speak;
cuddling your body that feels so weak.
Looking into your tired eyes;
I can see that you’re almost ready to die.
My heart breaks
I see your reflection;
you don't see me.
My heart is almost beating out of my chest.
I can't breathe.
Time stands still,
and I watch you; a confused look on your face
as your search for direction,
just like you always have.
Lost in the darkness of your own hell.
Tears well in my eyes,
sweaty palms.
I am scared. Petrified.
You don't see me.
The tears in my eyes are angry.
I am angry.
How could you do this? Why don't you understand?
I've imagined shaking you, beating sense into you
so
many
times;
not that I think it'd do any good.
I see your reflection.
You come towards me.
You stop and turn.
You turn your back on me.
It doesn't matter that
That hollow feeling
has come back again.
I am invisible.
I feel like I'm swimming under the water,
looking up to the surface
and all I see is blurred faces
looking straight through me.
I reach out,
my hand breaking the surface.
No one sees.
I am invisible.
So, I allow myself to sink
further
down...
Deep
down
to the bottom
where I am safe.
Feels like home.
One day you will be dead.
I worry about that day.
Not because I think I'll miss you.
But because of all of the things that could've been.

So, I allow myself to sink
further
down...
Deep
down
to the bottom
where I am safe.
Feels like home.
There is a world outside my window
Spaces beyond my outstretched arms
Beyond these arms used to ward off
Anything that might pull a mental trigger
There are new people, new experiences, and new stories.
People with curves like roads or freckles and beauty marks like constellations.
Experiences like saying someone's name for the first time, like car trips in warm weather on winding roads through the trees.
Stories with characters that come and go because people do not always stay. Stories that cannot stick to one genre.
How do I explain the undertow inside my head?
How can I tell you about the way I stare out the window day after day without
Waiting
knowing you are there
and I am here
every fibre of my being wants connection
to look into wide eyes
closed then not
eyes dry then moist
sensing inner turmoil
feeling the hurt
inspired holding
trembling connection
while the pain passes
I have heard the screams
and don't want to stop
self expression
spend all toxic thoughts
living rent free in your mind
wanting the screaming to be spent
all of it
until there is no more
until there is a void
peaceful silence
a beautiful mind
connected
but I'm still waiting
hearing your scream
knowing you are there
hearing your scream
knowing you are there
and I am here
come
As I lick my upper lip
I taste the salty sweet
Of freedom, my release, my energy
Drips of sweat are running down my back
My clothes are stuck to my body
My chest and heart are echoing
With a sound so strong and electric
I am no longer in control of my body
I've placed that responsibility into others
Strangers
They're controlling the way I move
They're controlling whether I get crushed
Feet are banging everywhere
A huge one lands on mine
I gasp
But there is no pain
A sharp elbow I feel in my breast
I turn and see one of many faces
Faces blurring into a dark mass
I let go
I'm falling at a thousand miles an hour
Then stop
I
Damn, your writing really gets to me. Thank you for being one of the few people who post more than trash over lesbian love. From what I've read, thank you for being another sensitive & caring person out there. It sux ass, but there is no way that people like us won't have a happy ending- unless we give up first. You deffinatly need to keep writing, it's important that someone represents the devoted side. So thank you <3
