Even if we no longer talk, please know that it doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten you, and I never will. You’ve left a mark on my heart that time can’t erase. No matter how far apart life takes us, a part of me will always care, always remember. And if you ever find yourself lost, hurting, or just needing someone to talk to, I’ll be there. Without hesitation. Because some connections don’t fade, even in silence.

i hate when i find out shit i had a gut feeling about cause whole time i was right & you tried to make me feel bad about it

[stellamicans14]

i'm not sure where i am anymore

i think i've been lost for a while

i can no longer tell the difference between up and down or right and left

i don't know how to find my way

i don't know if there is a way

perhaps i'm meant to stay here

but though i've stayed here for so long

i'm still not sure where i am

[stellamicans14]

i missed the train

i watched the lights fade into the distance

i wanted nothing more than to run down the tunnel after it

i yelled out with all the voice i had left in my throat, begging the conductor to stop

i stood there on the side of the tracks as the train whisked you away

i could still hear the rumbling of the engine

then it was gone

i stood there alone for a while

i waited there at the station for the next train to arrive 

i missed that one too

i lingered on that concrete platform, wondering if anyone would return

i looked to my right and saw the bright flash of a headlight as another train pulled in

i missed the train again

another train approached, stopping at the station for a minute

i missed it

two more trains came and went

i decided it wasn't worth it

i waited some more

i waited until the sun went down, and the cicadas began to sing their soft lullaby

i waited until a janitor appeared, carrying a yellow bucket filled with water and a large mop

i followed him as he escorted me out

i echoed his good wishes as he disappeared

i don't think i ever went back to the train station

Wish a wish:

To know the lake so entirely

That every night it rained

I'll know you, see the difference in your hands

Hear it in your laugh

That it's just coming and going and changing

And I don't think I'd have the courage to.

Read between the lines

There's this tree okay?

I'll show you it someday

I think if I believed in something

And it wasn't you

Something I couldn't see

It would be this,

That leaves could listen if only you wish.

I'd list a thousand things I want to hold your hand beside

And I think I'm getting there

Who knows if I'll learn the language before you do

We could meet in the middle though

I'll write in words made beyond roots

And you'll learn mine

See yourself in them

As if it weren't impossible.

i thought i would never be in love

i thought i was destined to be alone forever

i thought that all my friends would get engaged and get married and i would sit in the pews watching

i thought i would watch everyone i know fall deeply into a relationship of their own

i thought i would be abandoned 

until i met you

and then i was in love

i believed i would never be alone

i knew that i would walk down the isle one day and vow to love you forever at the altar

i trusted that i would fall with you, loving you just as deeply as i fantasized

i had confidence that you would never abandon me just as i would never abandon you

until you left

[a-mind-in-ruins]

I stayed when I felt unloved and that basically sums up how bad I wanted it to be you.

[alanashtray-deactivated20250712]

just saw a deer running across the road omw to my bus stop so basically my day is destined to be great and all good things will come unto me

When someone wants me to explain my emotions but I've been the listener all my life.

[mothhauntedbyblame]

My mouth is rotten from unspoken and mistaken words

My skin is burnt from curious pitying glances

My ears hurt with every song's beat

And yet somehow I still haven't stopped my heartbeat

My soul would feel better if we'd both say we're sorry

[brimstonebxtch]

[a-mind-in-ruins]

I tried to give you the love you never had,

and in return you gave me the pain I never deserved.

After a few years posting here on Tumblr, I finally got a book published!

The Secret Name of Things is a collection of poetry and it's available on Amazon.

Which Escape Route Does Your Fear Take?

i watched a moth fling itself into the furnace dancing in its frayed safety net nature is far too wise for this to be anything less than playing with pyre for the sake of unholy joy

a woman's sigh as she sinks deep in woven wishes clutching pillowcases like a parachute dreaming never leaping to see if air could kiss skin on the spot fear found

there are hearts carving their names into lightning bolts daring the sky to forget them spitting in gravity’s face while tethering worth to a drop the penny never hits the ground

a man's cry echoes as he runs to show the world the castle he built from locked doors and linen nothing breaks no jagged edges no windows or fright

is this what it means to be whole?

cracked glass laughing shatters on stone all for a rush splinters find bone clay curls tighter fearing the flood while rain carves freedom out of the mud both sides reckless, tearing and numb born from the itch to feel something

or run.

[notyetaghost]

With my blood in your mouth

Remove my flesh from the bone

    

You can kill me if you wish

Remove my heart from my chest

It belongs to you

    

In life and death i am yours

My love will never die

    

Look me in my face

And tell me you love me only

Stab me in the back and leave

I am still yours

    

I see what you are

I choose to love you regardless

    

So if your nature

Should cause you to turn on me

Know that i love you
