i'm not here right now


I watched as her chest slowly fell after each rise.

It was a beautiful sight, really.

She was wrapped in a blanket, while her favorite song lulled her to sleep.

I gripped the knife tighter.

Her red hair moved slightly in the beach wind,

and she smiled everytime a wave hit the shore.

Then, her eyes fluttered open.

She stared at me, eyes wide, and then slipped a sweet, sad smile.

"Dolly baby, go back to sleep..." She whispered through heavy tears.

I stayed standing.

She quckly became fearful, and threw of the cover to discover my legs were no longer attached to my body.

I was done sleeping.

    I feel like I'm imposing

    Which isn't fair for you to do,

    It's not fair that you make me feel like I'm on the outside

    I hate sitting here, trying to reignite what once was

    I thought we we're doing this anymore

  • unkept (wo)man

    subjugated to solitude eternal,

    only perceiving and watching love,

    maybe receiving it but never understanding it

    never internalizing it

    it bounces off. Doesn't stick,

    unkept and unruly and unclean.
