you only love me when i’m swollen shut,

bared bones from hunger or blunt force trauma

you love me when i’m strong enough to give you everything you want

accepting as little as i’m tossed

you only love me when i’m spoon-fed

bursting full of you

so full it leaks out to warn others away

because otherwise they’d never know

you have the rest of me so tightly sealed

I cross the street so as not to drag you along with me

the syllables of my name dusted and dried out

tossed in shallow waves

i hear heavy fruit fall from over-laden trees

bare-bones dogs snickering at cock’s crow

feeling more void than blanc

and only a pocket of solitude.

i’ve walked this same road a dozen times now.

how long has it been for you?

(written in Jacmel)

lost

helpless

useless

worthless

these are just words

I put to the test

this is just life

or my life I guess

everyone else seems better

the cost

of hopeless

faithless

injustice

is more than life

and all the rest

money is king

i’m value-less

everyone else is better

at most

fucking sad

driven mad

whispers said

too much to digest

hunger and lust

emptiness

and sometimes that’s just better

the drugs aren’t enough

to fill in the picture

to show you what’s missing

or even what’s there

just one fleeting moment

one sudden rush

but nothing to hold to

and nothing to touch

from the outside looking in

I can see these walls are thin

these pains of glass and growth

the narrative you’re shown

but the truth is I don’t even know

might not ever know

from the inside looking out

all I am is rage and doubt

with growth comes gain I suppose

that’s the story we’re told

but the lie is i don’t really know

so what do I know

and I wish that I could do it all again somehow some way or in some distant place

because all i’m ever doing now is slowly trying to erase

and the drugs aren’t enough

to fill in the picture

to show me what’s missing

or even what’s there

just one fleeting moment

one sudden rush

but nothing to hold to

and nothing to touch

so try not to judge

and i’ll try not to judge

even though that’s not much

why’s it so beyond us?

i used a science text illustration but can’t find their name, so if you recognize this, just know that’s not artistic license, just talentlessness.
