You thought you were free, 
The day my blood spilled onto your hands, 
The day you lay your sadistic hands on me, 
Pulling me in faster than quicksand. 

You thought I’d be an easy target, 
But little did you know,
I’d dealt with monsters all my life, 
And I wouldn't let you go. 

You mistook my silence for submission, 
So brashly assuming I was dead, 
But after you left me alone, I ra...

43 told 33 to stop trying to fix 23

33 told 43 that it’s ok to not be the bigger person all the time

Remember what happened to 28, 29, & 30

They remind 33 that time is precious

The one thousand days where sunshine was inaccurately predicted

Makes 33 anxious for 43

Because she is just as far away as 23

Or immaculate

Or of any matter 

For that fact

I’m not anything 

At all

Not wholly whole

You see,

Incompleteness 

Has been my superpower

Everything I did, I did do

It still was

Even if it no longer is

Whatever I am

I still am what I was

Even if I no longer am

You’re right

I was right and now I’m left

But the person I was hasn...

You seemed mature beyond your years

An easy manner belied your youth

On balance I took you for thirty

But twenty was nearer the truth

Twenty however ripe is still young

You need solid years under your belt

You convinced yourself you loved me

But really didn't know what you felt

I was flattered by your attentions

Watched my peers look at us agog

It was nice t...
