Estranged, Somehow by ~Julian-Delphiki:iconJulian-Delphiki:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


I want to peel the lids from your eyes: so you'll see,
So I can stop hiding on this side of a mask,
And the far side of a mirror.
But it seems too easy, so I wind up my heartstrings
And pretend I get any sleep.
In the mornings I pour black coffee on my cereal,
The milk of insomniacs.
I've every right to be angry.

Sometimes I want to give up.
I want someone else to breathe for me
And next to me,
And someone to carefully drain the colors from my dreams.
(they're kind of scary)

Mama, leave me be
Daddy, let me free.
You don't know me.
I'm not who you think I've become.
I'm so sorry I keep letting you down.
I can't just keep asking for your forgiveness. I know.

I want to have hollow bones and bird-wings
So I can fly away from the mess I leave behind.
It's too much to ask, for some life and liberty.
I think I'll settle with the pursuit of destruction,
The ripping-apart of me.

a drink for all the secrets that you seek
a drink for all the memories you keep
a drink for all the dreams you’ll never dream
a drink for all the planets in between

-eulogy, the hereafter

I just read it. And I think it is good. It reminds me of someone I know.

Thank you! It's been so long since I wrote something I actually like, and it's very refreshing.
