The Voice In The Machine

Thank you for calling/standing near me/being concerned. But I am not here right now. I am somewhere else. And you cannot reach me. Please leave me at the sound of the beep.

The Stars In The Architecture

But if you turn me and my pillow into a punching bag, we'll never let you sleep again.

The Simple Shattering of Water

It's because you and them were made of the same pieces. And afterwards, when you put yourself back together, some piece of them remained.

The Air Never Saw It Coming

If the air ever pushes its luck, if it dares to get between me and you, I will cut it, kill it and let it bleed blue.

The World Is Better Backwards

I never saw you again. You slammed the door as you came in. We yelled at each other about something that just shouldn't fucking matter but for some reason, it does. It happened. We spoke softly. We were in bed. I told you

"I love you."

You said the same. We went to movies and parties and friends and ate and drank and made love.

It all ended with my eyes meeting yours for the first time and the sudden, extreme feeling of expectation.

And now, how can I miss what has never existed.

The Fragile Arc

It may have just been a moment to you, but it changed every single one that followed for me.

The Business Of Breaking Things

You have a pen? Take a memo and write this down:

Once, I was loved, supremely with every fiber of someone's being. They just never knew how to tell me.
