I have a longing that I nurse

deep in my chest

I long for arms around me in the night

I long to feel a heart beating

and lugs breathing

in sleep next to me

I want to sleep with you

In the most innocent sense of the phrase

[sapphos-roommate]

No one ever taught me how to love normally.

I love as a blaze,

a fire

that will warm

but will also burn

[sapphos-roommate]

Wow I'm really gay

[sapphos-roommate]

Sometimes I say something too honest

And people get worried

I didn't mean to worry you

I just let the mask slip

and you saw that there was no real face behind it

just fire

and screaming

and blood

You were never supposed to see the blood.

I didn't mean to scare you.

[sapphos-roommate]

I scream into the void until my voice is hoarse,

only to realize the void is screaming too,

and neither of us can help each other.

the world's gentlest thief

Crept into my ribcage

And stole my heart

Oh Icarus

How beautiful you were

As you fell

Burning wings

Crashing into the sea

But for all that you fell

Still, you flew

And sometimes I wonder

If you smiled

In that instant

Between flame and waves

And you thought

I burned, but still, I flew.

And sometimes, Icarus

I envy you

Not for the flying

But for the burning

The falling

To fall from such a height

That the ripples echo through history

And find their way into the life

Of someone so far away.

Because, my sweet Icarus

You flew, but you still fell

And the way you fell

So beautifully

Into poetry

How could I not envy you?

[sapphos-roommate]

I would break myself

into a thousand shards

and put me back together

Exactly how you want me

I know that you would never hurt me

but that doesn't help me

when I want to implode

with all the things that I feel

I can feel all of these

filling my lungs

I'm clawing at the edge of sanity

drowning in feelings

love

dispare

fear

happiness

sadness

I can't handle it

I'm drowning in it all

[sapphos-roommate]

Falling, flying.

I feel like I'm running out of time.

I was walking in the ocean,

and I looked out to sea.

I suddenly had this desire to just walk out there.

To just keep walking forever,

and never come back.

I dream of falling,

not flying.

I have so much left to say.

I was looking at the stars,

and I wondered,

what it would be like to touch them.

Not for greatness,

just to burn.

There would be so many stories,

that would go unfinished.

Not just mine.

But that's okay.

I'm not sure they would ever be finished anyway.

Just please.

Whatever happens,

Don't let them put that name,

on my gravestone.

For another night.

It will just be a dream.

Of falling,

not flying.

You are so beautiful.

I want to tell you this,

every day,

every hour,

every minute,

every second.

I want to kiss your face,

each part of it,

and tell you how much I love them.

your nose,

your eyes,

your jaw,

your mouth.

On the road to Season 3 - Day 62

I just realized that it's mid-February and I haven't yet done the monthly reminder that the "Hand on the thin dark Duke" was all Michael.

Well, that's done.

Master post : here

You admired the beauty

of my blood

on your knife

[sapphos-roommate]

I am but a dull echo,

not even beautiful in my melancholy.

I look into the sky as I lie in the graveyard of futures,

and wish,

I was at least beautiful in death.

[sapphos-roommate]

Hello, little bird, your poems have caught my wee little eye here and they're very beautiful.

Some friends of mine told me the internet wasn't that safe so, I decided to just make this a one way conversation.

I adore your poems, and in any case, please let your creativity soar.

Any cracked heart will beat; Broken wings? We still have feet. Sing as much as you want, and the wind will carry your message. Little bird, don't let anyone hold you back from your happiness.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I've been going through a tough time, but this was a light in the darkness.

"May I love you?"

I whispered in your ear,

you didn't seem to hear.

"Can I love you?"

Is it even allowed?

It's so hard to say aloud.

"Please, my darling,"

I wrapped my arms around you,

I didn't know what else to do.

"Call me darling."

I look into your eyes,

I look past your disguise.

I love you.

Gently.

Fiercely.

wonderfully.

Darling, let me love you.

'I am.'

This is what I tell myself.

I stare at the photos on my walls,

at the things I have made,

and shout 'I am.'

But none of it feels real,

and I don't quite believe

I am.

[sapphos-roommate]

Maybe if I scream loud enough

into the void

it will hold me close

and comfort me.
