Sorry for looking at you, I spaced out

This… feeling… this… fragility… It hurts.

Not like a burning. Not like an ache. A bold bash to the head. A quick slice to the heel. An anticipated blade to the spine.

Bend over backwards. The ribs protrude. Take one. The charcoal will soon be ash.

Something unfamiliar is in the veins. Stardust passes through. Cough. It's dusty in here.

The window is open. Wind carries rain. Polished rainboots melt away. A door slams and splinters. Where did this mud come from?

Smoke fills the lungs. Eyes burn. Who left the grill on? Go back to start.

A Simple Smile

One smile was all it took

to lift me from the gloom,

lightning struck, so wild and bright,

heart ablaze, my soul in bloom.

I floated weightless, room to room,

euphoria in my stride,

like dawn that breaks the longest night,

with love too strong to hide.

Like sunlight after raging storms,

your warmth shined soft and true.

Feelings lost and torn apart,

came rushing back anew.

Numbness was my norm

So many years spent hiding from the pain

One smile and it was back

Forgotten emotions I regained

Convinced that they weren’t real

I felt again joy and bliss,

for what seemed like the first time,

what it is Ive really missed

Would that I can hold this spark,

and keep it burning near,

then joy would never fade away,

and there’s nothing I would fear.

Everything seems different

the world feels fresh and new,

To see that smile every day

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do.
