    The sad part about Atlas:
    When he shrugged,
    no one came to rub
    menthol cream
    over his bruised shoulder.

    Soft Landings

    The saddest realization of all:
    that happiness does not breed
    romance. 
    Destined for solitude until 
    the need arises. 
    A meaningful day
    within a meaningless life.
    I accept your cordial invitation
    to a humble doom - 
    to always fall back in love. 
    A wolfish grin tailored by sheep. 
    
  • aside over soliloquy

    Something inside me 
    used to be angry; 
    I gnawed off it. 
    Something to listen to
    on the way to everywhere - 
    nod with it. 
    Some pills that
    spilt over my bedside
    nodding off them. 
    Every now and then
    I don’t hate myself,
    but not often. 
    
    Flash - 
    the lightning grumbles. 
    Crash -
    my thoughts crumble. 
    Something inside me 
    remembers the toast,
    shit,
    I'm not with it.
