[2:15 AM]

you are so much

prettier in the dark.

[2:17 AM]

i wish you'd notice

me the way i

i notice the hollows

beneath your cheek

and the ever-present

crease between

your eyebrows.  

i wish you'd notice

that when i look

at you

i am breathing with

something other

than my lungs.

my whole body

seems to shift.

[2:23 AM]    

i am sorry.

i am sorry.

i am sorry.

i am sorry.

[2:24 AM]

can you hear

me cry?

i thought i saw

your fingers twitch.

[2:37 AM]

i will push the hair out of

my eyes and the snow

off my heart

and scream it,

sing it as loud

as my whispers

will possibly allow

I AM SORRY

I AM SORRY

I AM SORRY

can you hear me now? 

can you?

[2:41 AM]

i wish you'd

hear me.

[2:42 AM]

there is a moth

in my dreams

and i cannot

get it out.

it's in my mind

it's in my mind

get it out

get it out

please

[2:47 AM]

wake up.

wake up.

your eyelids are

fluttering and i am scared

because

my sadness

is beginning to feel

somewhat like

home. i don't

feel comfortable

here.  

[2:53 AM]

do you

ever feel

a prickly need to

rip your soul

out of your skin?

to scratch

and claw

and shatter

and bleed

until you feel

something

and you are here again

only you wish you

weren't.

is that even a question anymore?

i'm not quite sure.

[3:01 AM]

it's crazy because

i think i'd do anything to fall asleep.

you always used to say that.

"do you ever just want to die?"

"you're crazy."

"do you ever just want to pack everything and leave?"

"you're crazy."

"do you ever just feel like you'd do anything to fall asleep?"

"you're crazy."

am i?

am i really?  

[3:05 AM]

you just said his name

you whispered it like

you've been saying it all your life

and then,

you did the weirdest thing.

you smiled.

[3:11 AM]

I AM SORRY

I AM SORRY

I AM SORRY

i am sorry

i am sorry

i am (tired)  

i am (so tired)

[3:15 AM]

love makes you look

so pretty.

you are so pretty.
