Honesty

Poet’s Garden

1 min read

You like the taste of sugar.

Soft liquid dripping like honey from your lips.

You worship it.

You’ll let it pull you to the edge of a mountain,

Squeeze your heart so it no longer beats to a rhythm,

Dismantle you without objection.

You worship me.

The bumble bee attracted to your scent,

Buzzing around you,

Distracting you from imminent devastation.

I’ve reeled you in with adrenaline,

And liquid ecs...

The Truth About Love

Poet’s Garden

1 min read

I’m sorry.

I imagined my life without you—because I had to.

Cried when I held you— because I had to.

Fed your empty soul—because I had to.

And I’m sorry.

The world you built inside my chest

Collapsed

Before I could grasp it.

The fragility of you

Unraveled

Before I could hold it together.

The light in your palms

Dimmed

Before I could learn to nurture it.

I’m sorry

That as doors closed,

I search...

A Ruined Man

Poet’s Garden

I can recognize your fragrance in crowds,

A scent one wouldn’t know existed—

A superficial anomaly of aromas.

I can visualize your presence in captivity.

Places where you wouldn’t go,

Spaces that threaten you with commitment and vulnerability.

Places like my mind:

A maze of rooms,

Tangled with dark and obsolete hallways,

Each part of you divided—

Separated into your own identities.

Some have start...

When I Look in the Mirror

Poet’s Garden

1 min read

I see your instability.

I see the way you cannot focus

unless someone else’s demise brings you joy.

I see how the things I once believed held you together

are now the fibers that tear you apart,

suspending you above the things you despise.

I see how your leg shakes when you’re anxious,

waiting for someone to hold it still,

and how you speed up when you glimpse your shadow,

following you in quiet...

Your Success

Poet’s Garden

1 min read

You have yearned for this.

You lowered your expectations.

Let dirt trap itself under your nails,

Watched your skin peel revealing your bones.

You have begged for this.

You lowered your self respect.

Crawled on all fours beneath their hands,

Took the cards that were dealt to you.

Lies seeped down your throat,

And you reveled in the sound it made.

Yet still, this looms before you,

The seemingly un...

The Price of Being Chosen

Poet’s Garden

I let thee ope thine eyes to mine own sorrow.

I let thee trace mine own scars with thy hand.

I let thee cast a veil of woe o’er mine own mirth.

Yet still, it sufficeth not.

Thou watchest from thy chamber of secrets,

Thy silent heart doth slumber in the dark.

Thou bidst us kindle light within thy life,

And it doth bring thee joy.

Mark well my suffering,

Mark well mine anguish,

Mark well my wail...

She existed without life.

She knew not of the love that he had for her.

How he would read to her every night,

Untold fables from his childhood.

How he would play and sing to her every morning,

Strumming infatuation with his fingers.

His warm fingers would caress her cold face,

Hold her lifeless hands.

And when he said “I love you,”

Your eyes remain lifeless,

Voids of blue circuitry woven like v...

Our Heaven

Poet’s Garden

The flowers have withered,

I see.

Wasted away,

Pieces adrift in the wind.

The weeds have overgrown,

I see.

Visual thieves,

Hugging the home we built.

We used sticks,

And rocks.

We used pillows,

And blankets.

We used popsicle sticks,

And paper.

We used cereal boxes,

And milk cartons.

And we sat in the fields,

Felt the sun bury itself on our faces,

Planned to coexist,

With our fingers tracing ...

To Be Strong

Poet’s Garden

1 min read

You carried my soul beneath your wings,

Sheltered from demonic presence

And darkness that sought to hurt me.

You felt I needed protection.

You felt that a soul like mine should be treasured,

Hidden,

Buried.

It was in my comfort that my creator descended.

Whispered to me,

Saying the demonic presence is my protector.

You were supposed to be my angel.

You were supposed to be my muse.

My emotionally i...
