The one about –
Do you remember the night you made me stay alone, save wolves yet to be realized, in the back of (y)our everything? I was so kindly reminded today of the space I felt between us then. Curtains of black and grey billowing between dust and dust and dust. I have no choice. I’ll just Standby…
Haven’t cried, but I’ve been meaning to
confusion and panic as your words hit- hurt my eyes again. This was not what the day showed and the night was too long for me to have cared. I’m falling I failed my wicker…
Heart.stop()
You are the reason I cannot breathe. Nailed my mouth shut With the harpy’s claws- A catalyst for Self destruction And reimagined mutilation Of my eyes with whitened knives that sprout from your soft hands.

Best friend, The years have taken you from me. Replaced by another again as before, how old wounds stay ever fresh when you will pain into…
Today
I chanced to look at the past; it’s written forms so eternal, so long as I choose. You told me you pick the quotes that remind you of me and I didn’t realize what that meant at the time. So unquestioning a faith, so unutterable a love. “I have found what you are like, …
Dredging
The start of something Aries- your crown, alight and free, holds you back from the true connections you seek. bury your ego with warmth and water and let something greater simmer out of it. Taurus- Into the fray, boldly, or not at all- picking up the pieces you only feel you need. Not caring how…
