'What was right about her?' They asked and I didn't blame them for their questions because nobody understood the puzzle that you were like I did.

'What was beautiful about her?' They questioned and it made me wonder whether or not they perceived beauty because you were the most vibrant thing these eyes had ever seen.

'What was interesting about her?' They probed so I showed them my journals and it was filled with every moment,  every thought,  every touch you had imprinted on my life so much so that it seemed I was truly nothing before and after you.

They made me examine myself as much as you did but in a way much different than I had learned,  for both were my compasses yet you never pointed north. My soul felt liberated while it had you in its horizon as if reality was nothing but my sketch book and you my pencil.  I Scribbled on the blank pages, words and art that were inconsequential yet viable to me, to you, to us...  Until there was no more us.

I am just a moth
In a world of butterflies
Nonetheless, I fly.

I have no home
I don't know where to go

anybody
anybody
is anyone awake

does anyone see real life

why is everyone trying to act like someone else

we lay our masks
beside us
as we sleep

the young
are dying

the fakes
have a crowd

I got a casket
my coffin
ready for the end

Lovely dream

Weird feelings

I never saw you face to face
I've only met you in my dreams

I saw your face so clearly

Freckles
a soft red blush
across your cheeks

I thought
you were real

So I reached foward

\

It's 6 AM
My alarm is ringing

/

I can't wait to see you again

soon

we left behind
gated, frosting footsteps:

a pulsing night, pulling
in and out of colour:

you were an
outlined track on our
palms: a myriad of
our voices tangling
as rubber wires:

a crystal in our cloudless breath,
an art i couldn't limn.

you were brittle
and warm: i still

shivered as i brushed
your shoulder.
I think I realise something for the first time:

you're a person I've never met,
but whom I've seen a thousand times.
