Curled

curled in a ball in bed
shiver out all the sweat, sleep deprived
regret all of it
head whispers empty threats
feign facades of confidence,
numb to all of it
itās cold
letās smoke inside.
oughta choose the truth sometimes over lies
that come to mind like
i donāt miss you, iām fine
donāt cloak the metaphors
plan b the last resort
the test was negative
but as far as heās concerned, it returned
to consent once he paid her, reimbursed
for his lack of protection
itās gross
my bones are fragile

Fading

she opens the door & says
donāt tell me you love me like that
she leaves and iām left speechless in my bed
to play the scene again in my head
sayin iām happier with you than i ever was with her
never felt so safe in my skin
scars on my arms are fading
present drowns out what past meant
memories are forgotten
but marks stay as a reminder of intangible pain
closer to a relapse than iāve been in a year
but i wonāt burn my shirt without dousing my body in gasoline first

Spring
02:59

|

flashbulb memories
luckilyāve been far and few between
but recently rolled jean jacket sleeves
take me back to last spring
green grass under our feet
accentuate bright red budding leaves
fragments fester fraught by
situational grief
constant regret at the end of an
episodic descent resurrects
past marks that spark well intended concern
over habits outgrown and new burns
