Welcome Home

I yearn for the day I finally get to come home. The day I get to come home to you. No matter where you are, your arms will welcome me. In the orange light of sundown, when night draws near, I will weep in your embrace. Tears of comfort and relief will paint my face, as I color yours with kisses. We'll sit on the moss-cushioned stone, laced with blooming ivy. I'll press my lips to your temple, and rest your head in my lap. While the sun sinks beneath the ocean, I'll place purple flowers in your hair, and watch as your cocoa-colored vision only sees the light from behind your eyelids. And when Mother Moon shyly rises to turn her face towards the sea, I will hum a tune, one wonderfully bizarre, that we both know so well. Once you wake from your slumber, I'll sweep you into my arms, and I'll hold you to my chest. And when the fireflies try to pull you away from me, I'll take your hands and pull you right back. We'll dance like this, for hours, until our feet ache and our hearts are full. Until the sun rises yet again, and the sienna sky turns your eyes into flames. Until the lightning bugs release their grasp on you, and you are mine once more. I will cherish the thought of being beside you. I am holding my breath until that moment. Until the moment I hear: "Welcome Home."

Was too melancholic to shed a tear...So I cried, poetically...

where's home

border control asked me "where’s home?” and I stumbled over my words half choking out a “Chicago” that feels empty Chicago is where I live where’s home? when I was at sleepaway camp summer after fifth grade someone asked me “where’s home?” and I told them Germany before I realized they meant “where do you live?” where’s home? “home” isn’t real to me I stand just outside “home” in the cold and dark staring through the window at a warmly lit room filled with friends and family where’s home? home hasn’t been real since I turned ten and we left Michigan where’s home? I taste home every time I step outside on a snowy night but it never sticks where’s home?

We could do coffee, if you wanted me badly, I’d show you a good spot & sit on your lap

When We Were Girls Together

I see your face in the crowd

On the train

At work

When I attend a school play

The girl on stage has dimples, pale skin and dark hair

How I remember you

From when we were girls

She smiles bright and wide,

And for a moment she looks into the crowd

And for a moment I forget

I forget where I am, who she isn't, and that you're gone

The lights change, she runs off stage

And I'm left, alone in a crowd of people

We weren't her age for long

But I wish we still were

And now, I'll have to grow up without you

I miss the days

When we were girls together

High on You

Feeling like I could fly,

Run and jump and touch the sky,

I’m so high darling, you don’t even know,

Aphrodite’s got me feeling gold,

I’m high on you, on everything you do,

Reading Six of Crows and thinking of you,

Your button up shirt and golden rings,

Thinking of you and my heart sings,

I’m high on your darling, my heart wants to soar,

Never felt this way before.

Cupid’s bow

Making empty promises

That you’d never keep

It’s so painful remembering

Everything that you said to me

Why not leave well enough alone

And let me go

I just want to get over you

We’ve talked things through

And kept our composure

I don’t want history to be repeated

I got the closure I needed

Let me let you go

You’ll never be able to love me

In the way I want you to

So I’m choosing recovery

I hope that you can forgive me

You caught me off guard

A few years ago

And shot me with Cupid’s bow

But now I know better

Than to let history

Cloud my judgement

I can’t turn a blind eye to your inconsistency

You’re not willing to change or make adjustments

I’m tired of fighting for you to love me

When all you ever do is shove me aside

Our lives can no longer be intertwined

I have to acknowledge the toxicity

I can no longer remain reluctant

And complacent

Let’s face it we’re not compatible

I gave you my heart

And you devoured it like a cannibal

You tore me apart

And left my stomach in knots

Marked me for dead

Hung me on a cross

I sacrificed myself for you

And paid for your sins

So I implore you

Please don’t maximize my suffering

I have wounds on my skin

It seems like everyday I’m still discovering

How deep my love runs for you

But I can no longer choose you

Over me

I have to leave

And choose peace

I have to choose me

I want to love myself more than I love you

It’s what I have to do

To survive

I know that goodbyes aren’t easy

But believe me it’s for the best

I’m afraid our quest ends here

My dear friend

Maybe one day we’ll be able to comprehend

Why we met

Our souls crossed paths

For a reason

That I’ll never stop believing

Even though this is the end

I do hope to see you again

And If we’re meant to be

I have hope that you’ll find me

When our souls are ready

1am Shadows

Believe me,

When I say...

They haunt me

Its 1 am and

I cant sleep

Fuck, I cant...

I cant sleep.

They're crawling in the corners

They're calling for me

My demons...

I mean,

These shadows.

What did I ever do to them?!

Do you believe me?

They haunt me.

Oh god,

What's that on the wall,

On the floor,

Why is it so dark?

And ...

Has it always been there?

I've never been scared of my own shadow

Until they overlapped it with theirs.

My shadow is pure,

Why won't they let it,

Just be me.

I never asked for this.

But maybe I need the insanity

So that I can learn

To be sane.

Now its...

2 am and I still cant...

Sleep.

Now i have these,

Expensive bags

Under my eyes.

I tried to get rid of them

But like a tight rubber band

They just

Snapped back.

The invisible ropes

Have never been so

tight.

Why won't you believe me?

They haunt me.

On and on

Our story goes

Now its 3am...

And I'm just waiting,

To see what happens next.

Place your bets,

Look at the angles,

Is the lighting, in my favor?

FACE TO FACE Never to be. BACK TO BACK Every moment, it seems. HEART TO HEART Too many times. APPLES TO APPLES You and I are not the same. DUST TO DUST But we both will die.

[curlybamboo]

Тебя зовут песней и всегда шёпотом.

Движения - страстью, ловкостью, омутом.

Дышать тобой, смотреть тебя - плезир.

Ты есть воздаяние, ты есть атанасия.

Танцуй, танцуй, не оглядывайся.

[moonandbackprincess]

Sometimes,

When I'm alone,

I flatten my chest and put baggy clothes on,

And I smile at the mirror,

Sometimes,

When I'm alone, like tonight,

I think about being someone else,

Sometimes, quite often actually,

I cut my hair,

And sometimes, only once,

When a little girl says to her mom:

"I'll hold the door open for the boy"

I laugh,

Because I'm not a boy...

Right?

I hate myself so much 

That I wouldn’t let myself thrive

I hate myself so much 

That

I couldn’t let go 

Even if it meant it could save me 

From dying

Im to generous with my love

My time 

And my armor 

my cuts are from the thousands of people

I let run through me

Like a bat in the night 

I cleanse the dust of me 

One by one 

Each and every time 

I move on 

Someone keeps holding on

Trying to keep me 

From getting up

Thankfully I see myself 

And I still see beauty 

I kept going back n forth 

About being here in this world

Imagining if death is the way out

i try to keep up with the ever changing flow

Of the universe

maybe im just too different

Maybe im too unique

Maybe I just need 

Someone to look at me 

And say that they love me 

i could keep going 

Going on and on 

About the travesties 

In my mind soul and heart

My body trembling 

For the words to seep out of me 

So that my soul can speak 

About the world and experiences 

Ive gone through 

And haven’t said a word 

not saying anything 

And continuously hiding away 

My nature

My spirit 

My everything 

Maybe if I could fly

I wouldn’t haven’t a problem with moving forward

[fae-the-poet]

Scribble

Black cloud on paper

Ink tears on cloth

Dark scars on wood

Scrambled mind,

Hiding my mistakes

Under a pool of darkness.

Under the sky

Lies a blanket

Blanket of lies

And deception

Shadows of doubt and

Self hatred

Shattered mirrors

Broken glass

Lines of blood

This ancient ritual

Rises again.

Under the moon

Shines a lake

White as a pearl

Deep as my mind

Into the lake

I drown.
