      <description>
 the tap tap tapping you hear
is my sneakered foot hitting the linoleum floor.
the shadows under my eyes 
are darker under the white lights.
the hours lay on my shoulders
and weigh me down on my chair
my body warming a lonely me-shaped dent
on the cushions of my seat. 

and still he is not here.

      <description>here i go
watch my hands, 
move and stretch,
relax
and let go

here i go
watch my eyes 
flinch and close,
pinch
and let go

here i go
watch my feet
turn and walk
run
and let go

there you go

      <description>when there are nothing more to say,
you say: there are no words.
i say: no more words
and sometimes a tear breaks
and creeps down the face
and sometimes nothing at all.
and all the promises
that this is the last time
my voice cracks and swears
fingernails drawing blood
and palms hiding. 
lips swollen from pouting.
tomorrow morning
the sun and wind will remind me
that it was really
nothing at all
anymore.</description>

      <description>i lip-read and hear their voices in my head

i stare at people and read

&quot;how are you?&quot; 

&quot;how do you do?&quot;

&quot;how's life?&quot;

on their faces

behind this pane of glass

i keep between me and the press

of people out there.



i'm scared of my skin grazing theirs

of hot breath and sweat behind my ears

so i smile in my cool artificial air

nod and brush my hair

and wonder what it's like to be

with people out there. 



i push them but hold on to their wrists

thinking my decisions are way better than this,

this choice to be apart, by myself

and yet still be out of my... (more)</description>

      <description>i say: 

this is me,

from my hand-me-down clothes 

with faded cats on the hem, and a 

hint of a brownish stain on the sleeve,

pants that don't fit in the morning

and falling loose at the end of the day

slippers with miles on their worn, road-carved soles.

i say, they are fine,

memories and tastes of people suit me

my personality wears them

even better than they ever could. 

i hate the bright white lights

in dressing rooms

and mirrors that shows every bump and

dimple too up close

and impersonal.

i hate picking out

something to love in between

hundreds of... (more)</description>

      <description>i have almost forgotten this

pain. this itch at the back of my throat

the slight ache under my belly button



everytime i am confronted

by ghosts of words that i cannot assemble

and i grasp at random parts of them

so i could write this line. this verse

right now to abate

this pain.</description>

      <description>because i always forget

(then i always remember again)

how our love is more of a glass heart

thin as a rose petal.

warm to the touch, 


but incredibly fragile.



one word is enough

one memory

one thought can break it. 



we must be careful not to

hold it too lightly

or too tight

one shake, 

just a little pressure



so this is to remind me

in case i forget

and have to remember (again)

she put all her world in this embrace.

she let the weight of him eclipse the world around her.

she wished that all that would remain and matter is this embrace. 


That they could just live on this- 

the interlocking of bodies fitting in each other's dips and curves 

as if they were just one mended piece.

That they wouldn't need to speak 

and find themselves arguing at the top of their lungs. 

That they wouldn't let go to eat 

only to have a day when they couldn't afford to. 

That they'd be locked to each other in this embrace 

that one of them wouldn't go where the... (more)</description>

      <description>come back

walk with me for a while

even when our hands seldom touch

it's easier to cross an 

intersection 

beside somebody who looks

both ways 

takes the danger side

for you.

      <description>i think i will write in straight sentences and blocks of paragraphs right now i don't feel safe with the broken structure of verses at this moment i need a warm hug without worrying if it's time to let go and if i can hang on to it forever much like the first time i fell in love it felt like i could fall for all time until i crashed to the ground and i could still taste the dirt in my mouth and it wasn't sweet or salty like  the water out of my eyes i'm drowning in and i keep on sinking ogodidon'tknowwhatishoulddoanymore</description>
