eating: a scene from a horror movie
i starve
for an even more desperate feeling of hunger;
i wait
for a stronger feeling of emptiness;
i cry
as death sits me down and whispers
you’re asking for me, aren’t you?
when they say
i am ridiculous,
when they say
i am wasting,
when they say
i am slowly killing myself,
i hear
that i’m doing the only thing that i can do,
i hear
that i’m successfully avoiding pain,
i hear
that i am strong, that i know what’s right.

hey everyone,
i know i’m terrible at posting regularly on my blog and i’m so sorry about that (really!), but i’ve come today just to quickly say something that i’m sure many of us need to hear.
we are in a time that’s difficult for many people to get through easily. we are in an environment of quite a bit of fear, isolation, confusion, uncertainty... but remember: you’re not alone. it may not feel that way. i know this because i’m actually in a location far from home and i don’t know when i can go back and live the life i’m used to again, but the more i go online and talk to my friends, the more i know “we’re in this together” is true.
it’s hard to stay happy. it’s hard to survive boredom. it’s hard to maintain the motivation you previously had for things you did in your normal life. but do your best. try new things! call your friends and family!
but most importantly, stay safe. please do not underestimate this horrible virus. COVID-19 is not something to be overlooked. do what professionals suggest to do in order to protect yourself and those around you. wash your hands frequently, practice social distancing, etc.
i love you all (i know not a lot of people follow me but still!) and i hope you believe me when i say we can get through this together. i will try my best to use this new free time to post more poems. send me messages if you’ve got any suggestions for poems to write! i’m open to anything :) but you can also shoot me a message about other things.
stay positive! i’m here for you... and one more time (repeat after me): STAY SAFE!

when i’m alone
i imagine seeing you
one last time,
and what i feel always drowns me
despite the conflict within:
should i hate you for what you've done?
but in the end,
everyday i dream
of seeing you again,
and each time i run into your arms,
and i know that what i feel, what i drown in:
it’s love. a pathetic love
for someone i don’t know anymore
- in love with a dream

i call their names, screaming,
but so damn quietly
because it doesn’t matter;
they will never come back.
they are lost to me, untouchable
and that’s what they wanted.
they were scared of our proximity,
my capability of reaching out…
so maybe it’s my fault,
for if i had prevented myself
from even making an effort,
i wouldn’t have to feel this now.
- this loss i can’t explain.

most people
are afraid of the dark,
distrust every corner
in the middle of the night,
but it’s better for me
to be lost
in a thick blanket of black
so that i can cry,
cry,
cry,
and nobody will ever know.
- it keeps my secrets

i didn’t know i was in love
until i was falling
falling
falling
and couldn’t stop falling
every time
i looked at
your beautiful face
and heard
your beautiful voice
- i love you a little too much

i say this every time but
you? of all people?
i believed in you
at least
so that's why i snapped
that's why you can no longer
find my heart and soul
- when you hurt me

"rebuilt" is probably the most beautiful word there is. having something so wonderful destroyed, but then being able to rebuild it into something better and stronger than it ever was before.
- why didn't this happen for us?

the only thing that calms me
is knowing other people
feel the same isolation
the same pain
the same frustration
-we're all stuck in a fortress;
together, yet divided

they're telling me to let go
but the image of you will forever be
burned into the insides of my eyelids
-i cannot forget you
