Mauve toned lipgloss is all I need
To feel pretty.
But I can't recall when I began to wish for such things
For the stranger's heads to turn
For the too-long glances in the grocery store aisle
For them to dream of me in a new way.
I never cared before but now-
Now their attention is the only way
I feel beautiful anymore.
When I apply it to my lips and blend them with a POP!
I still don't know if I look beautiful for them
Or for me.

Day 2/14
There was so much more
That i should have said
So i look at the sky
And scream to the stars
The words that would've
Made you stay
How can i feel like empty space?
A dark abyss
Infinite in its shallows
And also in its depths
I am swimming forever
Drowning in an eternal loop
Only to awake once more
In the neverending shadows
I am being swallowed
Trapped, consumed, then freed
Alone in this infinity
With only darkness to breathe.
I dream of you. I didn't see your hair or your eyes, but I still knew it was you. I could feel you, even if we were a thousand worlds apart. You are the purest soul- the one I long to rest within, even when everything else fades
No matter who you are on the outside, I will love what is within. Always.
When I saw you, there were butterflies in my stomach.
When I looked away, they became rabid wolves, scratching and eating away at me until I learned that what I was feeling was love
I look tenderly at the bluebells
For the first time in a while
I hope they know how well they are doing
How fast they are growing
And how beautiful they've become.
There are so many eyes
Glowing in the dark
Watching me
Waiting until i slip.
It is maddening
The disembodied cackles
Mocking me
Not with words,
But with laughter.
Awaiting my failure
Do you see the eyes?
Do you hear the sounds?
Am i the only one
Who is
Going insane?
The forget-me-nots aren't blooming.
They wither on the sill
No amount of water
Could ressurect them still.
The sunlight shines enough for them,
But all I think to do
Is to let them die right there
Like my relationship with you.
You defy all meaning
All logic
All truth
You are like a blizzard
In the desert
Or an earthquake
In the sky
Impossible,
Yet happening
Right before my eyes
Snowflakes fell like nimble dancers
Landing softly
Upon your freckled nose
As our laughter fogged
In crisp air
We ran
And nearly slipped
Like a foolish man
Might fall in love
During the wintertime
