Talk to me.   I only wish to be free. The butterflies are free. -Charles Dickens

I’ll share a secret with anyone who messages me over the course of the night.

#me  #bored  #lonely 
"Four walls box in
desperate shadows;
they suspend from cobwebs
(aching from the ceiling)
trailing through air
as if hair drifting in open water.
The window is ever clamped shut;
no escape there.
So shadows remain:
charcoal echoes.
Alone–
but for a space-heater weeping silently
on the lonely wood floor.
No footsteps tread these tired boards–
Only memories, packed tightly into
the wires of two burnt out light-bulbs
(no energy left to threaten
our elusive remnants.)
Shadows, longing with the doorways,
and the peeling-plaster,
and desk that steals too much floor space,
desiring the same unspoken wish.
No more waiting!
No more reliance on some
unreliable girl.
To move them.
Only the book understands;
abandoned, gathering dust,
on the submissive bedside table.
Its ink collapsing
inside dying pages.
Trying to make sense of
her broken promises,
wistfully remembering the last time
her unpredictable pen
danced across its pages.
Now held,
not by her warm hands
but the lonesome,
gasping,
shadows."
I tried to write, today.

"Some girls drink beer and eat chocolate and ice cream when they feel sad. I drink raspberry tea and pig out on peanut butter and tuna fish."
Maybe that’s why guys find me unattractive.
