I ran from you all my life. I’ve had problems, But that doesn’t make it right.

You’re young. You’ll feel better. You’ll get better Eventually. So much time to feel better.

So stealthily I lead: Touching green, Seeing rocks below me. I’m gulping pride Because I know life is

The devil’s in my midst.

You’re horrible, And I hate you. But this is me. I’m the only person That I can’t escape.

I could hop on a train. Grow akin to the screaming and whi… Where would I go? Far from here, from cold. Tell my parents my love,

Last night, all I saw was Nancy. The way she cried when I held her… Like a fleshy cradle Around her broken heart. I saw her loving me

Splattered you All over my body And flecks of skin Inside every crevice. I can’t get rid of you

Winter is getting worse. Is there no justice In my punishment Brought about by my peers? I yearn to burrow in warm dirt

While I’m alone, He’s with her. While I’m crying, He’s kissing And rolling

Am I incurable? It seems so. I’m an incorrigible invalid Of the heart.

I dislike nothing more than Philosophy. How lazy.

I cannot bring myself to cry. I can’t decide if this is a curse Or a blessing.

That red ribbon is so wrinkled. Rouge like blood Or rushing anger Or a blaring stop sign. It’s crumpled:

You met me in the winter When I was a petal, Something you desperately wanted t… You loved me in the summer, Underneath the palm oil trees
