I haven’t written in a long time.
If we have souls then
I think mine is a tree trunk.
Thickening each year around
rings I can’t carve out.
Layers of rotting wood.
Life moves in circles
like the water of waves.
Our fates inescapable, always
a tragedy.
The Greeks knew.
Are our stories set
in tombstones? You
can’t rewrite an epitaph.
Love me, and I’ll be your
Aphrodite with lungs
full of black tar.
The gnarled pit that my sweet
flesh surrounds.
It surrounds you too,
surrounds us all.
If I can swim to the
surface, is a single breath
worth it if my feet are still
rooted in rock bottom?
It drags us down.
Like lost anchors in tides
pulled in and out
by our histories.
Soothe me, let’s sail somewhere
new.
Against shining seas,
I’ll be your
muse.
But can we ever leave a single moment
we’ve lived?

You're More Like Bondage.
You make my thoughts into
cigarette smoke in
a still room.
Pulling my brain like
Hot sugar
when you run your fingers down
My neck.
You'll reach my lower back
as the sugar cools and
shatters on the floor.
It's happened before.
My empty head throbs along
with the heaves of your chest.
Reeling.
There's a reason it's called a
Ribcage.
Keep it inside, keep it in.
You taste like liquor on my lips.
Wet and distant from
the person I was two hours ago.
Do you hang your clothes on me?
Weigh me down.
My eyes are cloudy and I can't look
At you.
Won't look at you.
But I feel you in the heat behind
My cheeks,
The slickness that lives in
My mouth,
and the faltering sway of
My hips.
Look at me, love me.
Coat me like lime and
You can have me forever.
I'll scratch at the surface but
Let's forget what's underneath.
Because I want you.
And I never stopped.

I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.

I worry a lot about accomplishments.
And not having any.
I don't want to die before I've done something meaningful.
But today I kind of had this weird realization, that when someone makes me laugh or smile or love them a little bit more, even if it's just for a moment
then that person is meaningful to me.
So maybe I should spend more time focusing on making the people in my life see themselves the way I see them,
and I can make then smile and laugh and remind them that they're great.
And maybe that will be enough for me.

“I remember when we screened the first movie in London, when Mr. Big shows Carrie that closet he’s built for her and the entire audience clapped. I found that devastating. Maybe that’s a strong word, but I was disheartened. Because I thought: ‘Is this what these women in the audience think true love is? A man who has enough money to buy you a walk-in closet?’”
Cynthia Nixon (via bennett-amanda)

I don't really understand
that no matter how many anti-depressants I'm on I still feel like dying because I'm a loser and my boyfriend and friends are so much better, smarter, funnier, better-looking, and more successful than me. And I'm so scared of the day when they realize that I'm actually not cool or fun to be around and I'm a big phony, and then they're gonna go off and all be friends together without me and I will be alone and just be eating chips and twizzlers.
