And kid, you’ve got to love yourself. You’ve got wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You’ve got to sit next to the man at the train station who’s reading your favorite book and start a conversation. You’ve got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you’ve got to wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You’ve got to stop taking everything so goddam personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You’ve got to compliment someones crooked brows at an art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. You’ve got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that won’t matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday. You’ve got to stop worrying about what you’re going to tell her when she finds out. You’ve got to stop over thinking why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. You’ve got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. Fuck it. Love yourself, kiddo. You’ve got to love yourself

The Bunk Bed From Freshmen Year

on the bunk bed that had far too much room the sheets tangled up when we crumbled into each other melting with every wisp of breath on that very bunk bed i lived a split screen life permanently connected to the wall entangled in a power cord that wound around me tighter with every twist and turns when you decided to move we moved to a queen sized bed and found it shrinking around us in just a little over two years perhaps it was the tears drying it up or the words that was cutting it smaller or probably the silence that was absorbing it and even when the queen sized bed didnt grow we found a way to make it work finding it too roomy during some nights and just the same during other the queen size bed was where you decided your dream was to go on that sailing porgram and it was there that i bid you farewell making so much room that the night got shivery the smell started to change the queen size bed swelled up because no one ever sleeps there anymore i find reasons to avoid it any little excuse suffice and amidst my search of a new surface to crash on every night on my old bunk bed is where i truy want to be

BLUE

blue were the drapes blue were my sheets blue was the comforter that cocooned us in blue was how i felt when i thought of you while you were leagues of seas away blue is the color of water around you and blue is how i hope you feel on rare occasions that you do think of me blue is just a color but blue is so much more blue was the winter of me and you blue was the hudson river under the starry blue night when we kissed blue were the marks that were scorched on our skins blue was the color of torment that was visible on the split screens blue was how i felt after every fight blue is how i feel right now blue is not just a color but blue is so much more blue seems to be the color of our world
