Fuck this phone

This glowing rectangle
Another backlit screen
I want to throw it out the window
Delete your name and face
And Reread your texts
I have no more sophisticated lines
No eloquent phrases
Just a playlist. 
Of the saddest songs ive ever heard
On repeat shuffle
Waiting
For this to go away.

It doesn't belong to me

 I wrote before to tell you
How our hearts together
Felt like sunrise
After a life of night.
Now
our sun has set
And my life is night
Again. How was
Love 
Powerless?
The same way you are
The same way I am.
I want my sun back-every
Moment lost in your eyes every
Firecracker kiss every
Heavenly touch every
Second of the best day 
We will ever know.
You can keep our night-every
Smiling Deception every
Stolen sympathy every
Lonely lie every
Second of the coldest black
I will ever know.
It doesn't belong to me.
Pack it in your bag and
Carry it into your own night.

WHAT THE FUCK

I didn't ask for this.
I hate who I am.
Unexcited by the ordinary
uncomfortable in this body
Only feeling this hole
that I am and I'm into
all the same.
I want to cut it open
some more to explore
what lives here.
I've got that feeling again
that I'm the only one left.
Failing to connect to
everything I project.

On avoidance

Everyday I think about it Wonder how full it is.
 Of communication intercepted
 By my own inability To accept my life.
Bringing it inside means It belongs to me.
 They have reached me,
With an expectation of response.
Pretending you do not exist
Means I owe you nothing.
Sometimes I see you
 And I put you back.
Save you for tomorrow or the next day.
Sometimes I just drive right by you
Fuck it. You're just junk anyway.

I'm wearing your t-shirt

Last night...
Every star in the milky way
(not the candy bar)
melted together like
plate tectonics it is reverse pangea
in my heart.
The real me inside was
doing backflips all the way
to the ones reaching out
to galaxies i cant remember the names of
that hold the stars
I used to be.
This must be home.

Finally, off the restriction
of my planetary body.
It is so fucking bright.
The contrast between
the nothingness of space
and the everything I feel here
this must be...

I don't want to say love
because it sounds cheap
stale, and vapid.
What they call egos
caught in manipulations
for the temporary relief
from the deficiency of one
stolen from another.

We are different.
An explosion of transparency-
clear, incorruptible, awakened, brilliant.
I cannot hold this for myself.
My ego hates this taste.
It refuses to feed the darkness
humans must posses.
It is the mingling of the ethers...
beyond the senses and
the contents of my body.

I need you to feel it too.
I need to make you glow
to strip your ego with my touch
so you can experience our light.
Physicists can try but this cannot
be contained by scientific formulas.
Because it started before them...
but I know this "love"
is what started the stars.

Written without a thesaurus

It was stamped on my brain
In between yesterday 
And the tomorrow before.
Filed away as useless
Perhaps it was.
Still it flashed through 
Like the moment you die 
Memories Chopped up
Thrown like confetti 
Rearranged with
snowflake Uniqueness
And frozen precision.
You're Vaguely obvious.
I've been here before.

Still

Acutely aware
Of awareness where
Do I feel it its black
Hole stealing attention
Once devoted to you.
Introspective new prospective
Still
Illiterate in my language
Why
Is not a helpful question but
How
Do I remember to breathe you
When your air is so
Vacant...subtle
Let my ego preside
It might be easier to believe
I need than
I am.

You make me want to write again

you make me want to write again.

energy weighted with
blackish spots
now vivid portraits
beg to be painted
with a word brush.
I need you to see me.
...that never happens.
you are

From the inside out my
Melting Layers of love
Escaping defenses defenseless
Against your spark ignites
night red illuminating
shadows under my skin and
For the first time
I need you to see me
Both- Black. Bright.
Read me like this poem.
Stumble over my intricate word
Choice? Wander the spaces
Between my lines you
Make me want to write again
This
Time an open book.

decide.

my eyes were shut when you arrived.
starring in the unconscious constellations
of my head space observing
marking time until I'd wake up.
I did.
waking life waits not for dreams.

my eyes were open when you arrived.
 you saw me first.
an exotic anxiety screaming my heart
faster. no slower. stop.
I decide to decide what color your eyes are.
I can't. instead
I decide the entire universe must exist inside them.
there is nothing here to compare them to.
I decide I'll ask you someday.

Someday arrived soon.
we tread into limitless blue with neon hearts
only glowing for each other.
I decide I was right.
Everything exists in our electricity.now
tell me.
What color are your eyes?
