Kai
Unraveled
Like a loose thread
on your favorite sweater
you unraveled me.
Nonchalantly picking,
pulling, and tugging at me...
Until I was left nothing
but a tangled mess.
Shivers
Whenever I go to somewhere we have been... I get shivers from the memories that stir from within...
Craving
Your rough exterior was so
sharp and sour to me.
Intense and unforgiving.
But as I let you sit on my tongue…
Slowly you melted away into
something so suddenly sweet.
Leaving me with a hunger
and only wanting more.
Fragments
Fragments of myself
have been hovering,
Suspended above me
in my own abyss of isolation.
I’ve been trying so hard
to get ahold of them,
Repeatedly reaching out
in acts of desperation.
But every time I go
to grasp them…
My touch just pushes them
into the wrong direction.
Code Blue
The worst thing
about a code blue…
Is when the doctor finally
throws in the towel…
And you’re left there
looking at an empty body…
Realizing there’s nothing else
anyone can ever do.
Maple
Shells
I have five shells
that I count one by one…
Found during a time
that can’t be undone.
You picked them by hand
and gave them to me…
In a place I thought
I wanted to be.
Invasive
You grew unnoticed
like a slow growing ivy.
Your deceitful emerald leaves
glimmering a seductive dew.
Consuming all you wanted
with your twisting vines.
Eventually wrapping
your way around me…
Whispering all of the things
that you wanted to do.
Shrapnel
We ignited each other
like pipe bombs.
Our harsh words
sailing into one another
like shrapnel…
And leaving nothing
but ragged scars
and bloodied flesh.
