behind slammed doors and silent screams
I cried in silence again.
The tears streamed down
And made puddles on my carpet floor
I'm lying on again.
I watched the minutes change again.

routine details
the bus driver glared at me
like i was a sin to society;
he called me a fag—under his breath,
and i got in my seat like nothing happened.

Mitosis
i'm split in two;
an exact replica on the outside,
my code is all the same.
the original me;
who knows which piece,
you'll have to tear me apart to just see.

lady liberty
She stands there,
head held up high
forever staring at the sky
until those men
(with their pitchforks and matches)
tear her down into debris.

WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER
the party's over;
i'll walk myself home,
silent on the stairs,
wake up the next morning,
i'll lie and say i don't care.
the party's over;
you don't know what goes on

the ending
I'm finishing the story,
How can it be true?
I'm nearing the end;
There is no future to see.
It doesn't feel real
But it is—it's all going to be over.
Months it's been since this world's been right,

Radio silence
I'm opening my phone
To nothing
No messages, no emails, no missed calls,
All I'm getting is radio silence
The sinking feeling in my heart returned
The one where you know something is wrong

It's dark out now.
Stinging my eyes
The tears come
Pouring down
Relentlessly.
Still breathing
Still warm
Yet dead
To me
And me alone.
Grief floods me
Again
I'm drowning

When You Are Old
When you are old and too tired to sleep,
Steeping like your lemon tea
In ancient memories and dreams,
I wonder if you’ll think of me.
When your forehead’s deeply linedWith remnants of the tears you cried

Curl Cream
I have been told
To put curl cream in my hair
Upside down, eyes
Straining against the ceiling light,
Curls straining toward the tile floor,
Bunching.
I will smell
