With the burial of this, comes anew.

It's over.
Goodbye, my dear South.
It has been hell.
And sort of nice.

спасибо,

I never can figure out how to feel.
Because you get me.
And you so just...don't.

You catch the small things
that no one else picks up on
and you see things that don't exist

I could never run very far
before the chain you had wrapped around me
left metal wounds on my neck.

Drop the chain,
I will walk away.
Get over me
and my rain.

Rei

It's already been three days
It's raining and the wind is angry
But there's no reason to be afraid
Because I tell the rain what to do.
But I would rather have control over the wind

A child of rei

I'm anyone, I'm anything
And there's a boy writing poetry about me
I can push him to the back of my mind
Because I'm a liar,
Though technically, I never told a lie

I'm dying on my own accord
Because I am presumptuous
and predestined to destroy
and in myself
I will create anew

Disillusionment has never tasted so....alive.
"Not everything can be deep"
Maybe I want to fill my lungs with water.
After all, no matter where I go,
I'm itching to tear away.

My abandonment issues make it hard to drop you.
But what else is sticking, like a sin, to my bones?
Other than this duplicity, a stain.
There is a line I have yet to cross, not past the point of no return.
But returning would be more of a sin than disappearing forever.

Enie
Meeny
Miny
.........
I already know how this will end, don't I?

Writing again

I'm writing about you again.
About that day I rode my bike to Alfred
In the rain.

Don't worry, though
I don't have enough.... moxie
to write everything, the details.

Just some of the things I remember.
The blurs and dark corners
How the sun mocked me as I rode home.

Hello, so how are you?

I have to go find a lost friend.
That is not a metaphor,
my friend is literally stumbling around somewhere

He broke his glasses
So i'm off to his aid with packing tape
and a coat cause it's Fucking cold out tonight

....hi

Do it.

That's fine.
Leave me behind.
Forget about me,
It's what I deserve.
I won't choke on your memory's dust.
But I will mimic the words I mean, too.

I am still here.

I talked about you the other day.
I put you in a paper that I handed in to my favorite class.
Advanced Non-fiction prose.
And my favorite professor.
He delights in the idea
Of us "communicating" through vague writings.
He thinks it's amazing.
I told him you're amazing.

You are, through by subjective eyes.
Other wise, I don't know you.
I don't know if I ever did.
Or if you ever knew me.
If you just pasted your favorite memory of me
over my real face.
Maybe that's why you were so disappointed in me.
Of me.

I still think of you when I write sometimes.
When I try to get it all down on paper,
and I know no one will understand.
I think about you because
You never understood.
But I still tried.

Class is over now.
Just thought I'd say hi.

I'm glad you're writing again.

I dreampt about you last night.

Maybe it was that old feeling of scorching disappointment in someone I held close to my heart.
Maybe it was the familiar feeling of being on the phone with someone whom you have nothing to say.
Maybe it was the sound of someone else's regrets about what they did with their clothes off.
...or not. I wouldn't know, I wasn't there. I almost was, but "best friends" have a sort of sixth sense.

You could do better.

Check, pulse. Pulse. Pulse. 1,2,3...

Out the door.
Steady now.
An Overreaction?
Slow down.

The panic races ahead of the bile.
Calm it, stay calm.
My heartbeat makes holding back absurd.
Stop.

(Hello, old fear.
No, I didn't think I'd make it this far.
How did you get ahead of me?
I lost track of you in the dark.)

(Yes, I see you found my newest victim
He makes you disappear at night,
But you are mistaken if you think
I'll let you touch a hint of his mind.)

I need to keep him close.
Then make a fast getaway
Push him off balance,
And come back the same day.

I feel it rising with every blank stare
(Could this be happening again?)
I can't let it strangle us, together.
(I'll fight it until the very end.)

Reminders Of A Different Skin

Re-Claimer: I am just bursting with lame titles.

This is my new challenge.
Writing with an old skill,
In new surroundings.

For no apparent reason,
I have decided to think my thoughts.
Online.
Again.

Blink. Blink. Blink.
The cursor is like my childhood.
Static and full of ADD-like twitches.

I don't even care about form today
I am in my element, I've had a taste of Chaos
And the warm winds continue to blow.

I don't like form, other than my own
I learned a way to be less like him
Defy his advice, because I love this way

The old fear festers under my skin
Like scratching your wrists full of worms
When Cicadas Cry, what disturbing inspiration....

This fear is like....oh god with the metaphors..
It's simple. And (dirty.) This fear,
As long as I have a heartbeat.....

No...as long as my heart has reason to beat
The fear will always be under my eyelids
Right where no one else but me can see it

Exactly where it should be.

A Warmer Wind for Chaotic Lungs

Claimer: I should be writing my philosophy micro-essay, but I've acquired enough skill to write it fairly well in about ten minutes, to say the least.

I walked out of his room this morning
Straight into a gust of heat and water dust
It was the most amazing thing I've ever felt

Not only did it get my heart beating
To feel a warm wind,
one of my favorite elements of nature,
Coupled with a close second, rain.

No, It was also stepping out on my own
And knowing that I could return at any time
That I could walk off and he would be waiting
That I could have a separate relationship

With the wind, the rain, and my lungs
And there is no need to feel guilty
This morning, I will never forget.

Blue bow and glittery eyes

Disclaimer: Lame title, I know. But I need a shower and I don't care about formalities.

2010
Not sure why I'm still writing here, maybe it's just a habit.
I don't know him anymore.
And I am still okay with that.
"Call me sometimes"
I believe, yes it does sound like i'm still hung up
But i'm fully dried.
I'm fully fine.

Maybe it's that class requirement in which I was made to aquire a blog.
I naturally thought of this until it ate at me enough to come back.

Tomorrow is going to be a hell that I enjoy.
Chaos is my element I and will be basking in it.
I live for this.
