what would you do
if you found all i could #bequest
laid between the lines of my poetry?

#vss365 #poetry #writing #original #melancholy #sad #shortpoetry

and in the quietest moment
of the night
when all the walls you held up
are crumbled down
are you satisfied with the person
in the body you inhabit?

#shortpoetry #originalpoetry #darkacademia #melancholy #poetry

your words of affirmation
that i belong and matter
just as much as you do
is the only #reprieve
that has helped me
save myself

#vss365 #shortpoetry #darkacademia #sad #melancholy #love #originalpoetry

if you have to be tortured to write poetry, then are my words of affirmation merely sweet nothings to the eye of the beholder?

#micropoem #melancholy #shortpoetry #originalpoetry #darkacademia #poetry

the only way
to #purify your body
rid the demons that took refuge
is to exorcise them through your hand
and bleed it all out
through the ink

#vss365 #shortpoetry #original #darkpoetry #darkacademia #originalpoetry #writing

in spite of the futility of hoping
in the badlands this landscape has become,
i found that it is impossible to #renounce the idea
we have permanently lost our way
to a brighter future

#shortpoetry #vss365 #poetry #original #hope #melancholy

they say you must be tortured to be a poet whose words mean something. if so, then what is worth on my prose about our golden love?

i believed solitude was the cure
for the hollow space in my chest,
when in truth it was your #nuture
that gave me the hope
the light
to save myself

#vss365 #poetry #originalpoetry #shortpoetry #love #warmth #lovepoem

and in the peak of this rapture
i devote my body and soul
to you

#lovepoetry #shortpoetry #originalpoetry #love #poetry #original

i am stuck
in this life
an endless
monochrome
metronome
and i'd give
anything
to shatter
this ticking
and tocking
and learn how
to start liv-
ing again

i have found it is lighter to live in home of ghosts than to be in an empty house

#micropoem #poetry #sad #shortpoetry #original #sadpoetry #darkacademia

i #reckon,
my love,
that if you get too close
i will unravel
just as you will
in the threads that weave us
together

and in the havoc
we create chaos

#vss365 #shortpoetry #lovepoetry #poetry #original #darkacademia

can a ghost learn to love themselves
if they never believed their soul
should have ever existed

#darkpoetry #sadpoetry #poetry #darkacademia #ghost #sad #dark #originalpoetry #shortpoetry

i had to bleed out the toxins
covertly in my bloodstream
to find out that,
all along,
your love
is an antidote

#shortpoetry #originalpoetry #lovepoetry #sad #dark #darkacademia

you reignite the firelight when i believe the wick should remain unlit

#micropoem #shortpoetry #darkacademia #lovepoetry #originalpoetry #poetry

do you exist if nobody ever sees you?

#micropoem #poetry #melancholy #darkpoetry #sadpoetry #originalpoetry #shortpoetry #sad #dark

when the darkest nights swallow you up
and the stars barely glimmer in your eyes
just remember that the love we have
means as much to you as it means to me

#sad #originalpoetry #love #dark #sadpoetry #lovepoetry #darkacademia #shortpoetry

rise on the wave,
meet your erotic self
as a prayer
on your tongue,
like sun-drenched skin
exposed to the sea.
in your surrender,
nothing is lost—
only deepened,
only made holy.
