i could tell you now

or bite my tongue

until it bleeds

and hide you in between

the lines of my poetry

—i could tell you, 2024

[blushingxpilgrims]

wide-eyed, bleary

weak, weary

i reach for you

—YOU, 2024

[blushingxpilgrims]

tender ache / tender, slow / can i let you go?

—letting you go, 2024

happy national poetry month, lovers <3

[blushingxpilgrims]

LOVE IS THE WHOLE POINT. OF IT ALL

[blushingxpilgrims]

I’m writing to the wind

The dust settling on my skin

I’m sorry for wallowing

I love you, but the end is near

This song is a dream I listen to

On the way home

Black dress, spinning

I never lie

But that doesn’t mean

I’m not a liar

The world is on fire

And here I am

Writing to you

—i love you, but the end is near

[blushingxpilgrims]

crimson crushing

death blow

to the heart

is this art?

—the question of art, 2024

[blushingxpilgrims]

everything i’ve written?

oh!

it’s for you—

to you,

because of you,

in hope of you.

—for you, 2024

“in March I’ll be rested, caught up and human.”

he holds love

in the pockets of his jeans

tossing it out for free

to anyone who might believe in it

the same way he does

he’s a lover boy

“risk it all”

“i think she’s the one”

boy

so cool, so cool

how he moves through the night

boy

intricate ink

his arms, his chest

“hoping for the best”

boy

has trouble sleeping alone

boy

it’s lust, not love

boy

(i know you’re lonely, boy)

—LOVER BOY, 2024

The window pane is 20 knives, all cutting through my fragile life. Someone new peeking through the room. I fear the name you whispered is mine, I’ll know it soon. I’m headless, I’m just limbs. I think they’re coming in. I already died, so this is extra time. I already died, so now I see it open eyed. I already died, so I am justified. I already died. There’s nothing you can say to change my mind.

i’m so deep in love

and equally insane

do you think you can love

me the same way?

—love me, 2023

[blushingxpilgrims]

in and out of slumber

making empty wishes

staring at the wall

falling

falling

falling

you make an appearance again

i can hear the train approaching

i think it’s time to go now

-there you are again, 2024

[blushingxpilgrims]

what do you say, love

to a mutual breaking of hearts,

an agreed upon tearing apart

of soul and sinew?

—deal?, 2023

[blushingxpilgrims]

Oh the absolute terror in loving those who will never love me back

[blushingxpilgrims]

either way, i lose

no outcome gives me

you

—i lose, 2023
