every turn a double take
every glance a mistake

the club has many faces
but yours is the one
I hope to see
Heartache has a way of
fueling my insomnia-
Envied only by
Caffeine
0300
I'm sitting in a cafe
Grinding myself to the bone
My marrow still carries
Your essence, your DNA
I sit back to watch the sunlight
Bounce off the tables
and remember what you smelled like.

The pangs of dissolution
unraveled in my nerves
and my brain tells me
to keep myself small
So that I can return to
The exclusive club I belonged to.
I've tried so hard and can't.

Time goes by slower

           When I'm Desperate
                        
                        To know what you're doing

he drifted away
while i stayed the same.
he sits behind me in class
and im still,
silently grieving our past
i turn around
searching in his eyes,
aching for his ghost
but his sand in the hourglass
slipped too fast
“it’s not like we’re strangers”,
he reluctantly said
shifting his eyes away
as my ruptured heart bled
my mind had too much
and reality was ahead—
i never knew that
“i will never get bored”
expired with a “yet”

Is that love
or
Am I crazy

Who will I be today?
How will I feel?
There's one thing I want,
one feeling so real
Yet I won't have it, I'll sit back and yearn
That light I keep grabbing-
I don't really deserve
But I'll think of him-
when I eat ice cream,
stuck to the roof of my mouth
like peanutbutter
When I'm standing alone
in the eyrie of crows,
flashlight in hand without a lover
I'll think of him-
when I make a bold joke, no one else gets it but I know that he'd choke
And that laugh-
I could never forget
My favorite performance prize
that I'll ever get
But I won't.
No, not anymore
Now my days are silent
with with a little more
chaos to my lore
Every morning I remind myself we don't work,
Your memory spends all day convincing me otherwise

Hi
Hi, how are you?
How was your day?
I wish I could say something better, but say that you'll stay
Hi, what are you doing?
My name is Kay
I'm sorry if it's deja vu, I couldn't make these feelings go away
Hi, I missed you-
But nevermind that
I want to try and meet you again, could we rewrite the past?
Even though my heart knows that isn't how this works

It's selfish to miss someone you left
Yet here I am anyway
A million things to do
But I can't stop thinking about
You.
I can't even doomscroll without
reminders of you
Kalliope May 26
My days are all purple,
Not yellow, not green,
But a lavender, orchid, and lilac
shaded screen
My vision ever tainted
With visions of you
