I am from the place where morning never comes,
Where nightmares are devised,
Where blood flows like rivers
Where the sun never shines.
I am the last breath before you suffocate,
The razor scathing the surface.
The hand grenade without a pin.
I'll show you how to suffer,
To beg,
To plead for your entire being.
I'll show you how to deteriorate
With my sickening smirk,
And my sweet kiss from hell.
My demons riot within me,
To be free just once more,
I know that they'll win
To suffice my darkest desire,
The yearning with everything inside me,
To see what's inside of you.
Where nightmares are devised,
Where blood flows like rivers
Where the sun never shines.
I am the last breath before you suffocate,
The razor scathing the surface.
The hand grenade without a pin.
I'll show you how to suffer,
To beg,
To plead for your entire being.
I'll show you how to deteriorate
With my sickening smirk,
And my sweet kiss from hell.
My demons riot within me,
To be free just once more,
I know that they'll win
To suffice my darkest desire,
The yearning with everything inside me,
To see what's inside of you.

Unaware
When you are two and five and ten
you are unaware ––
of the cactus in the windowsill,
how, fragile, each quill bends
and breaks and falls apart.––
Twelve years later, on a Tuesday,
you dream about a boy
who bumps his head
on an iron slate and you wake
in a cold sweat.
You are twelve when you are
always bumping shoulders.
Twenty-two years of Thursday.
There is nothing at all.
And you wonder (and
you wonder why)
each time you wake.
The cactus in the window bleeds
with you when you bump it.
No one ever mentioned
frightened things bite.
So you have always been unaware.

Catharsis
I didn't know I had depression until I turned around one day and found someone else in the same boat. It had never occurred to me that you could have depression and not know it and after sitting down with myself and having a good long think I came to the awful realization that it's been ten years. Ten. Years.
Ten years of being incapable of feeling the entire breadth of human emotion; only degrees of anger I couldn't control or understand, knowing that I was behaving completely irrationally and being unable to stop, driving away family and the precious few friends that had managed to find me and could no longer hang on to the maelstrom I had

My boyfriend watched, open mouthed
as I unscrewed the lid of your urn,
and ran my fingers through your ashes.
Your depression, your soul dust.
I felt an ocean rolling under my ribs
and an urge to cradle your urn,
rock you back and forth
like you did for me when I was young.

At the funeral, my uncle announced
that you hated religion.
But he left out the part
where you did believe in a God,
just that he was always punishing you.
-
“There was nothing you could have done”
said the other uncle.
I think of all those spent wishes,
the birthday candles extinguished for gifts,
the meteor showers I wasted on love,
the prayers offered from
