monotone echoes
what a bare and limp narration
as dreams linger on

what thoughts are these
that bring forth a vertigo of sensations
and a grin oozing with defiance?

so dangerously weak
but not even blushing
so ignited -
surely to detonate on contact

falling from grace

with you inside
i sought grace
now falling
to my true self,
i wallow in my sordid desire

Victoria

a shadowbox of love broken
photographs and playlists,
a wine bottle opener from the vineyard,
old journal entries and poems
i try to get back to that time
when we first met
but these knick-knacks
are what's left-
     nothing more

strangled,
i no longer breath-in the bliss
of you and i
trampled,
this love burst to ashes
with a stake of accusations
through the heart of the innocent

i could stay here forever
exist miserably,
sustained on a mere hope
that this is a nightmare
as i wait to awaken
by your side one more time

...but i just choose to live
