Decay and Decline
failure sits deep in
my veins. It is the
drug deep deep
deep in my blood that
I cannot escape.
Here are my failures
- My first real LDR
- Being a daughter, a sister, a cousin,
a friend.
- My degree
-Inability to beat depression
I cannot separate my
jaw to unravel just how
badly I did, so my
tongue hides between
the roof of my mouth and
its hollow floor.
I am hiding
I have poison
but I cannot take it
I fear i'll fail my departure
yet again.
But isn't third time the charm?

Silencing myself to hold you tight, but you must know that you're more than this..
more than these words,
my heart longs for your happiness, peace, and a safe place for you to rest, because
i internally comprehend so much of the between
I love you dearly

oh my fucking god, my eyes are crying fire right now and i don't want to appear too fragile but truth is.. we both are and that is alright because one day strength will be yours and mine.. .i do believe that it's all purposely rendered with a fact that, growth has to be taken as it is not handed nor given to odd species like us,
and Ive learned our histories and liftetimes consists of so many nebulas it;s
almost unreal yet real as we are the ones who has to travel through them, periodically.. a little bit more than others
heart on heart my love

The third stanza in particular struck me. We both derive our inspiration from our pain and weakness, I feel your heart and that connection between us. It is beautiful and makes me feel less alone in this place.
