disappointment. heart ache. loneliness. unrequited love. sorrow. these are among the great human equalizers. so, when you’re feeling these things, try your best to remember that at one point or another, we’ve all been there. try your best to remember how much it hurts just to lift your head sometimes. maybe if we all do this, things could somehow be a tiny bit easier.

"In any case you mustn’t confuse a single failure with a final defeat."

"This is a poem about how you never get the kiss you want when you want it; how time twines around..."

“

This is a poem about
how you never get the kiss you want
when you want it;

how time twines around your neck, its thorns
digging into your skin so you can never forget
how clinging to a string of hope, threading it
between your spine, and having it unravel before you
in the span of an hour
is worse than any metaphor about nakedness
that you poets will ever write.

This is my reflection in the mirror. This stanza
is the small gap where my fingers try to touch against
the glass.

You can’t even possess yourself; let alone
the person you see standing before you.

The moon
hasn’t come back from the cleaners yet
and I have nothing to slip into tonight that makes my reflection feel
beautiful.

Time is falling through the hole in my pocket. January
is coming soon, and I have a feeling that he’s never going to fall
out of love with this December.

He’ll still write her love letters. He’ll
send her white orchids on every lonely holiday and pretend
that love is a place you can cross state lines to get back to,

but it’s that time of the year again, and
calendar sales keep reminding us all that we can never get back
to where we once wanted so bad to lose ourselves in
for good.

this agony is delicious. the frustration is exquisite. I feel like I want to claw my skin from my bones, just tear every inch of it away from muscle until the heat that’s within me can be set free. the ache hurts so good. my blood is cooking in my veins. I am starving for you.

the loveliest, saddest, loneliest, most heart breaking and yet ultimately freeing thing you can ever say to someone is:

understand.

and I do. I do not hate to admit it, but it pains me to say it.

understand.

and I do not fault you. not in the very least.
