1.
it took me six weeks before the pressure finally flared up under my skin under the snow all this watching and waiting is wearing me thin and I want to know if we’re a late summer tree that’s already lost its leaves or a swim in the sea to weather this goddamn heat twisting and breaking from a tiny crack memories withering in rose colored glass if I tried it all again, would I still love to taste the tension? I think I’d walk away I used to be so excited for the future but now all I want is out
2.
drifting foggy back and forth screaming envy til I'm hoarse I've been braving this frozen coast for half a year by now bottled message twice my age eyes forced open, blind with rage I can't help but scar this page you wrote with underlines ice path; impasse bound by my mistakes a fever waxing melancholy freezing in your wake haunted by the echo of the words you used to say my closed circuit shorted out but I mustn't run away never erase, just cover up the tree bark carved initials from when we were still so young drink the darkness like a liquor rusted and stripped out with nothing to show but blisters wish the memories made me tougher instead I’m writing letters to the ghost of a former lover: “standing next to you was like standing next to the sun and I burned up”
3.
trying to catch a glimpse of a girl with honey in her hair and hatred in her heart a curated image in my mind petrified to the point that I don’t even try but I will teach you to wear a mask carved for someone else’s face you and I are both fake; bitterness has set the stage trying to catch a glimpse of a girl with fire in her hair and failure in her heart a bird’s eye view of who I’ve grown to be: pinned down through gritted teeth by the weight I carry with me
4.
each day used to feel like it’d last forever but now my day to day feels like nothing at all and now I’m sitting back, regretting the choices that I made I thought with my head and not with my heart and that was my biggest mistake reach into the darkness to make something beautiful but the pressure makes me want to scream in black and white like a hammer driven nail, I’m still following this line the fire burned out and nothing’s left but embers and an ache but you will watch me be rebirthed from ashes in retrospect I fucked up but it’s better off this way
5.
rewind my life back to me like a movie play acting the person I think I'm supposed to be days into weeks into months into years can't even meet myself halfway in the middle it’s not so much a desperate situation it’s more like an overall sense of desperation ley-line path between memories and the past tangled up and twisted like the flowers of a choking vine the seeds of something special now just dust in the winter wind erasing yourself again corrupting my confidence
