Wednesday
Wednesday was always our day
The only constant across the many variations of “us”
Drinking as friends in the pub
Drinking as “friends” in the pub
Your hand on my knee in the pub
Definitely more than friends in the pub
Kissing in the pub
Sharing our scars in the pub
Falling in love in the pub
Laughing less in the pub
Difficult conversations in the pub
Crying in the ...

The splinter inside me
The memory of your love remains like a splinter inside me
I can get by now most of the time, with it undetected
But every so often it will still catch on something and snag
The essence of you has gone through me like a thread through the eye of a needle
I continue my life, with you stitched into everything that I do
It gets heavy, carrying around the weight of this loss
I remin...

Home is where the heart is
We have something
I know this because I keep trying to tell myself it's nothing
To help me walk away
But we always come back like the tide to the shoreline
Coming back to you is like coming home
Coming home in the dark of night when you've left the light on
The rush of warm air that greets you as you step inside
Close the front door behind you
Home
You were my home

Oxymoron
How can one be so consumed by emptiness
Isnt that an oxymoron
The presence of your absence is felt always
We talk in terminal language
Yet it still feels unfinished
A connection was made which cannot be undone
I am forever changed
Your love is not unrequited
See there are things we still share

Our Journey
Let's escape our separate towns together,
Away from prying eyes,
Where no one knows our faces yet,
And our love needs no disguise.
Let's camp out in the world together,
And I'll hold you through the night,
With your head upon my shoulder,
We sit watching stars burn bright.
We'll laugh and smile discussing hopes and dreams,
And make known all of our desires,
We'l...

Monster in the Mirror
They say that twin flames go through periods of separation
And this I know to be true
For you were right, we did need this time apart
However, I am praying it doesn’t last
I needed to discover me and you needed to discover you
Because even though we are one, our souls have still been split in two
And we needed to work on ourselves separately
In order to reunite anew

Soulmate Symphonies
If you desire to heal, let yourself fall ill
You desired peace
So undoubtedly, with every hardship, there comes ease
If you only have the strength to believe
I forgive you for doing as you please
I am proud of the changes I have seen
It’s making me believe, perhaps you are changing into the man I knew you would be
I believe you may have read my words
And I want you t...

Last Lies
I told you I wouldn’t write you any more poems,
And in that, I lied
For don’t you know
You’ll always be the apple of my eye
However this poem is different, it’s unlike mine
I mixed others I’ve read
Hoping you’ll someday see what has been said
May you read the rhymes and know it’s me
But the mix-up of phrases I wanted you to see
That despite my best efforts
The...

Desperate Despair
I am trying to move on
As I’ve realised this time you’re truly gone
But what am I supposed to do
When everything reminds me of you?
Every day, I have been searching
For you, my lonely heart has been yearning
With a pit in my stomach and a lump in my throat
I found your account and now I know
All my suffering has been in vain
My broken heart and all my pain
I...

sleep paralysis III (01/03/2023)
if I stare at the roof long enough
would i let it's ink
roll down over me ?
my shape, pliant and waiting and
rutting
tilting toward the certainty
the cooing touch and strain
spreading stygian weight
pressing down, down, and do...wn
coy and waiting with glistening teeth
brushing, roiling voice
weight like a purring cinderblock
hands, too many to be real
too deft to be human
...

Lost Love
Words cannot express the pain
I feel at your hands once again
My entire heart has been torn apart
Smashed on the ground into tiny shards
Like the Christmas ball that bore our names
Scattered over the floor, all in vain
And while I hurried to pick up the sharps
I looked up only to watch you laugh
In my desperate attempt to fix what’s broken
For you to tell me I’m...
