I was born on a Tuesday
In a sense, I am just another day
That gets skipped over
In a brief week
A calendar date
That never comes circled
A meaningless holiday,
Irrelevant ache
Though not a Sunday,
The sun burns much brighter
Blessed by the God of War
Struck by stillness of his waking
I'm alive forevermore
From searing flames
To golden dust
Arbitrary arbitration
A judgement turns all stars to ash
Longing for some cruel salvation
On a Tuesday,
The flowers bloomed wider
The snow fell harder
And my love for them grew
Linden taste whispered,
Teased the strands in your fingers
With doe, hickory eyes
And lips wet from dew
...And while I've never seemed
Like I'm the safest option
I somehow still wish
To be noticed by you.

Wisteria, I fall
Under your gloomy gaze
Through soothing spring winds
And your wuthering breaths
Seldom catch I air
Of beauty deep as yours
Eyes that know all of
My still evening blues
Your gaze is forgiving
Lips, heaven's light
I pretend I don't notice
You hold my wrist too tight
Wisteria, I fall
In the shrubs 'neath the trees
Curled up in a storm
Of your petals and dreams
I long to awaken
But deep down I know
You cherish me, somehow
But never say so
Your bark is still chilling
But I love your face
The rustle of flowers
And the cold of your gaze
Wisteria, I fall
For the thousandth time
...And I'll wait for the day
I get to call you mine.

I thought of you again
Though I wish I hadn't
Like a sense of heimweh
It crept up on me
The night concealed it well
The thread was thick enough
To hide traces of you
And sneak to my fingertips
It's still in the air
Heavy garments replace your touch
Accidental
We both knew it wasn't
Yet I convinced myself
In an indifferent lie
It's been long since those times
Isolated uncertainty
In all warning shots—
I'm the collateral.

I have my mother's hands
And my father's chestnut eyes
Elegance should be my name
But in me only barrenness lies
Buried with someone
Who wasn't meant to be
Maybe it is my blood,
Or the sweat and tears
And the resentment
In whose shadow I grew
I am still myself
So much
That I wish I wasn't
Now that cold hands
Grip my throat
Forcing down all circulation.

I have my mother's fair lips
My father's crooked teeth
I am a composition
Of everything there was
And everything that will ever be
It's not just in my blood
Or sweat, or set of genes
Nor the love
In which I've been nurtured
I am so myself
In fact,
I've never been more myself
Than to know I dearly love
All that is a part of me.

The pits of my stomach boil
I look around
And you're not here
Waiting for your hands to coil
'Round my neck and make me real
Make a toast to some new love
If I make it to next year
Clench my fists and tear apart
All of which I held so dear
I drink more and more and more
Feast the fire of my heart
Break down, curl up on the floor
Take the pain and make it art
And I'll wait and wait and wait
Hardly lucid, waging war
Knowing you will never come
Stare like death at my locked door
Endlessly
Ceaselessly
Hopelessly
Fearlessly
Sitting and suffering
Cackling and blubbering
You've gone away
I've gone mad for you
Crackling and thundering
Silently pondering
Cupid impaled me
With my own sword—
Left me a hole
In the image of you.

I know death
And many of its forms
It's no reaper or an old man
Nor a child, or any face at all
It's all but a living thing
A looming presence under whose wing
Even a giant covers alone
It's a lingering smoke
And an ashtray full at home
A burnt out candle
And cigarette butts.
I know death
And its many cruel faces
Like a whisper at night
Or the news on the phone
In letters
That never found their recipient
And orphans in houses
That never found a home
I know death
And the rhythm it follows
Its oppressive air finds its way to my lungs
It settles in each corner
Where life isn't worth living
And snakes its way
To the simplest of thoughts
And I say I know death
It's all natural order
Even the sun dies at the end of each day
But there is something bigger
Of which I'd say I know nothing—
How is it so easy that life slips away?
And I'll say it again,
Though I'm sick of it calling
Why does life make it
Just so hard to stay?
In cold, empty sighs
And a pictures' worth reminiscing
I remain with this countdown;
Waiting for the day
There won't be a smile
Or a single goodbye
All voices are lost
In favour of a cry
And I am not yet sure
Of which stance I'm to take
Once all time slips away
Leaving grief in its wake
And I know death
I know each ending
But it is that sorrow
That I am still fearing for
Once there is lament
With its hollow presence
The ghost of its memories
Will swallow me whole.
And I know death, and its eyes that I'm facing
But what of a life that was left behind?

I thought of writing myself a letter
Too late
Or perhaps too soon
It's more than hard to tell
At 21:42 not much means more
Than olden reflections
Caresses of ice and concrete and mist
Reveries, memories
They're all the same
Forever gone once
The next morning comes
Fallen in frost
Pictures pale with snow
Faded with kisses
Smiles borne anew
Though cold fog
And fire in the sky
Is it a gunshot,
Or the ever-festive silence?
Or the ringing of bells
Of imaginary reindeer
And cellophane-wrapped elves
Rhinestone flowers that adorn
The front of your TV screen
Wondering why my breath falls so leaden
Like the last moon
In the late polar winds
The final resolution
Of all years passed
I've made my peace.

Between every paling page
And yellowing edge
I weep
For I seek countless worlds
So distant from the one
Outside the covers
Dimming lights
And another reverie in denial
Of all we suffer day-to-day
And in thousands of wishes
We come up with every year
How come there is no consciousness of
Ever-present despair
That lives on
In every war
Child
Beneath every door
That makes way for those who
Play gods on Earth and
Tarnish the image of
The one they have long since stopped representing?
Repressed and alone
Another social tragedy
Though, is it merely social if it regards all of mankind?
In chests, where a heart refuses to beat
In faces, that become
More alike to beasts and swines each day
Stone, Lead, Iron
All rust and moss,
Ash and decay.
To live at last is to die
But we have never lived at all
Existence, Existence
Too long have we hoped to dream
With our gouged-out, open eyes
So just sleep
Sleep in a lie and die.
It’s not so bad
«What do you know if not misery?»

I use you
In the most innocent of ways
You're no good for me
But I carry you with
When the days are bleak
Or when I bleed in writing
When I am hopeless
Again and again
You strike into the
Heart of the issue
The core of the problem
The dead centre of my heart
Reappearing like a stranger
In ceaseless repetition
Slipping down
Or arising anew
Our eyes will meet
But we'll never say a word
Drowning in the air
That both we exude
Too drunk on your gaze
While yours devours mine
No, Amore
We cannot be friends
We're not even lovers
Just at our wits' ends
Perpetually coveting
What we mustn't crave
« So meet me with a kiss
The next time you leave. »
And we'll stay like this, in silent yearning
Lost together, decades-bound
Our worlds remain like oil on water
A lingering heartache
When you're not around
[...And I'll never say it.]

I am a parasite
I sleep and eat
And crawl in your floorboards
My hair is seaweed and moss
A festering corpse on the bed
That you oversee
From the head of your high table
I am a disease
The sight that plagues you
The one that never gets better
Illness that creeps under your skin
Feeds on your sweat and tears
Boils in your blood
It would be much easier
If I was not alive
If I didn't breathe
Or speak
Or make any noise at all
Yet
The silence is too loud
You wish me gone for it too
Out of sight, out of mind
Like a chirp of morning birds
An obnoxious pitch of
Your voice in my mouth
Or, perhaps a reflection
Of myself in everything
That only ever ailed you
You don't remember feeling so lost
You buried yourself
A long time ago
But the symptoms spread
Gnawing away at your wits
Through whatever eyes
You try and see me now
You still forget
that
I am just your daughter.

The wounds you inflict on me
Are a crystal chandelier
A kaleidoscope
Of my heart's fragments
Hydrangeas feel bitter
in the wake of your dawn
The blueing of my soul
Is just another dress or bruise
You couldn't tell
One or the other apart
You'd just be appalled,
Fascinated
That I had even dared
Utter a word.

I haven't quite mourned myself
Since the day that you left
I keep clinging to hope
Like a liar, a desperate child
Missing you is just
Another way of saying goodbye
To myself
And my façade
Since
I have never been the same.
I will never be the same.
Bliss is just
Another rope around my neck
A name left unspoken
A call I don't heed
What aids me is what ails me
I don't get to make a call
Or say farewell
To what I am now
Or who I might have been
And I don't blame you
I just wish
The pain wasn't ours to bear.

I'd wake up again and again
To the face I wish forgotten
Lament my own loneliness
Like a myriad of lost kisses
Coffee at your place
Dinner made at nine
Long conversations
I'd lose track or time
We both crash on your couch
That looks terribly like mine
My heart flutters each second
As I meet your eyes
Your voice is as I'd remember
A softer-than-spring tone
Perhaps you're the soulmate
I never wished was born
But then I always wonder
Do you dream of me, too?
Or am I just biting off
More than I could chew?
Do you seek me out
Each morning in your room
Once you, yourself, awaken
And see you're lonely, too?
[...Or is it just me who suffers?]

I am infatuated
With a man that calls me hate
The one I see occasionally
Refuse to recognise my face
Or maybe can no longer
For my image was sheer cold
Once he tried to beckon over
What I've long cajoled
To let go and find anew
Somewhere in a dream
Perhaps at once will my eyes forget
The image I had longed to see.

The sky doesn't cry
It never does
It smiles to us gently
Embraces us in solace
Confides in us and promises
That it's alright to scream
That our sorrows will end
One way or another
Devoured by the ravenous clouds
Petrichor blurs with lavender
And soothes the souls
Of glass, painted in gloom
And faint autumnal mist
Icy raindrops will wash
Our hot, swollen faces
Turned rosy like petals
Adorned with wistful dew.

I need to
Wash away my being
My beaten, battered soul
Pour hot water
On a chilled body that emits
Dissipating heat
Like radio waves
And help signals
Of everything that is human
Of every piece of skin
That clogs beneath my nails
My hair falls out in tufts
Sliding in the stream
Like angel feathers
Of my long-broken wings
And I will breathe in the vapours
Fall dizzy in the echoing rain
In sheer silence of shallow sighs
And grief that fogs my mirror image
I won't speak of it again.
