I don’t think you meant
to be terrible,

but I do think you found
a place where terribleness

was conflated with #devotion

& found you liked the place.

I no longer want your love.

I want your dread.

I want you shaking when you see me shopping for my daily bread.

I want you whispering to saints and deities you don’t believe in for deliverance,

covering your head from the fire and brimstone of my wrath.

-Control

Your body may be a temple.

Mine is a pyre.

I burn & I mourn & I rage alive
in the moonlight, only to die
when I’m seen.

I find myself

uneasy

without you

I really want to write a new poetry collection, but I'm just devoid of ideas right now 😢

I'll never
ask for your ice

now that I have
my sunshine

why was it too hard
for you
to love
me

Days like these

I freefall

into memory
June 28, 2025 at 10:20 PM
I washed my sheets & I wondered if there was even a single spec of your skin cells left on it --

with me

for just a little longer

I am most like myself
with your blood on my
teeth and

wrath under
my fingernails

A bullet
named Enigma -
I don’t know where
he comes from -
maybe right under
my nose; he was
here the whole time
& I never noticed.

But it tears through
my chest all the same.

What world will my daughter know -

one in which she whistles while on her morning walk or one where she darts from corner to corner, eye

constantly

over her shoulder?

How many bridges
must I cross
to arrive at your
doorstep?

I feel her growing
in my chest,
this Phoenix

rising
once again

from embers
that never quite

extinguish

My fingertips have long since
forgotten your phone number;
it's forgetting the memory of typing
your name; it was a slow forgetting,
only coming after the #chase
ended with a vision of your back,
& your knife buried in my own.

Who did you think you were
that enabled you to be this way

And who did you think I was
that I deserved it?

wrapped in #lace,
doused in flame

motherhood should be
a space heater, a warm blanket,
a good nights sleep;

not a hollow song, a haunting chant,
a radiating sting

where does my heart disappear to when you’re not around

- With You/Without Me
January 23, 2025 at 3:17 AM
how am I possibly expected to exist among all this decay
January 23, 2025 at 3:15 AM
breathe me in
I will beg
for you to want me
to drink me in
to be a vapor against
your skin, to be
just a thought in your head

Every little bit of me
is made of #lace; I’m
see-through, a billboard
of emotions, advertised to
all those who spare
me even the barest glance

I NEED TO BE WRITING AHHHH
January 14, 2025 at 2:50 AM
My brain wants to get up and write but my body wants to stay in bed
January 12, 2025 at 12:34 PM
do not crumble
do not break
if you yield
you’ll never be safe

the #heat burns
& also heals
it can blend fears &
strengths to make your next shield.
