The Man Who Never Died All at Once — New Poems
I’ve lived a hundred lives, none of them simple. I died in corners no one looks — silent deaths, small fractures inside me, one after another, like cracks spreading through glass. But somehow, I kept getting back up — bloodied, bruised, but never broken. Pain twisted itself into blueprints, wounds spun into sharp ideas. I…

In the Wake of Silence — Jaded
Silence is the loudest thing in the wake of everything I’ve said. The words hang in the air, unspoken, untouched, and I wonder if I’ll ever hear them again. But the silence speaks in ways the words never could, and I listen— even when there’s nothing left to say.
-
The Unspoken Backdrop — Jaded
Love is something that makes us feel the happiest alive, but it can lie. When you think you’ve found someone, yet you’re left trying to forget. Days slip by, and still, you miss them. You sit in the past, letting it mold your well-being. What’s better in yourself? Who you were then? Nothing, actually. Tell…
-
Inferno — Phoenix Heart
My heart is ticking its last breath for a cause from years ago, no longer shedding a tear, but quenching the flames of anger before your satire becomes a satanic regret.
-
I Closed This Book — Phoenix Heart
They acted like they could burn out your light bulb. Like they knew our make and model. It’s a tragedy, jealousy. It started at birth, masked with daily doses of pharmaceuticals and traumatic damage that turned the family into my abuser. Undergoing the worst of the pandemic of post-traumatic stress, I shook through my whole…
-
Shattered heart… — An Inconvenient Attachment
Shattered heart… then life feels over. The best of friends gave me the world. I couldn’t grasp how good it was. Leaving you, leaving the memories.
-
I left myself to be with you, — An Inconvenient Attachment
I left myself to be with you, surpassing the worst in mind that kept telling me this was bad… listen to your heart.
-
I Am a Fish — Freedom
I wonder if I will ever escape. I hear tapping noises. I see fingerprints on my glass bowl. I want to be free. I am a fish. I feel nothing at all. I touch something smooth. I worry if the cat will get me. I am a fish. I understand that I am stuck here…
-
Tick! Tock! — An Inconvenient Attachment
Tick! Tock! I want to love. I’m done with the single life. I want my heart to feel warm again. I want my body to feel worthy again, since I lost it all again. I don’t even know. I’m praying for the day I feel love. I’m praying for the day my heart starts to…
-
Where are you? — An Inconvenient Attachment
Where are you? I’m trying to figure out what I wanna do. I’m trying to start a storm before the sun, so I’ll learn something new.
-
Thief! — An Inconvenient Attachment
Thief! All you do is steal me away. You take me to places beyond my expectations. You stole my heart. You are the one who will sweep me off my feet. You are the one who will steal my lips. You are the one who will drag me along to do the craziest things. You…
-
He is making careless actions — An Inconvenient Attachment
He is making careless actions based on the situations he faced after an endless amount of civil talks. An endless amount of scared feelings, ’cause he sees that it is blood. That is him, fighting! Dealing with trauma, dealing with his inability to feel less insane. “To those who gave him the world when he…
-
Restless nights are ahead of him. — An Inconvenient Attachment
Restless nights are ahead of him. The nighttime will be his happy time. With every soul sleeping calmly, he will be feeling free. The morning sunrise starts to appear, and his body becomes weaker, with lazy lids, with a twist of rushing thoughts that just won’t seem to slow down enough for him to get…
-
He went from friend to lust, — An Inconvenient Attachment
He went from friend to lust, to an old friend, someone he loves deeply. When you cross lust and friendship, it turns into a difficulty. As time progresses, even if the joke’s on him, it’s not anymore. It’s on me. I know this game won’t last. But at the time, this dream is all too…
-
Sometimes in life, — An Inconvenient Attachment
Sometimes in life, when all is shallow, I rise above it! Sometimes in life, when all is shallow, there are storms up ahead. Figure out the path you want to follow. The easy way out isn’t always the best!
-
Silence is what I need from you right now. — An Inconvenient Attachment
Silence is what I need from you right now. Silence is what I need from everyone right now. Let me figure this out. I got this, somehow! Thank you!
-
I confess! I’m lost! — An Inconvenient Attachment
I confess! I’m lost! Something’s in the air— collapsing lungs, fatigued feelings. I heard you once say I was once your everything, but I also heard you once say I was once your charm. But now, something is in the air. Now I’m drying up, shook, destroyed, torn into a million pieces of the unknown.…
-
I am trying to breathe, — An Inconvenient Attachment
I am trying to breathe, performing a scene, as you would say, you sleeping right next to me with a smile of “Oh, happy days.” The man downtown came to my door, looking for you. I cried! You left me nothing but dust.
-
Stuck behind the scenes, — An Inconvenient Attachment
Stuck behind the scenes, seeing things I don’t know, seeing things that make me angry, weeping down tears—streams, to be exact. The sadness behind the scenes of the unknown. I want love. I want a mistake, a small breakup that continues us. But no— stuck behind the scenes, seeing things I don’t know.
-
When I think of you, — An Inconvenient Attachment
When I think of you, my world wants to be with you. When I think of you, my world wants to end with you. Inner thoughts of unspeakable emotions, of unbreakable actions that might lead to catastrophic events that will end in bloodshed. Maybe it’s best for us to end, but maybe it’s best if…
-
When life takes a turn, — An Inconvenient Attachment
When life takes a turn, follow the path; there’s always something great above, over the horizon. When life takes a turn, don’t turn back. Our biggest weakness is repeating unfortunate events. We can foresee any obstacle. When life takes a turn, follow the horizon. There is always greatness ahead.
-
Love—you love everything about yourself, — An Inconvenient Attachment
Love—you love everything about yourself, but tomorrow, for now, it’s your road. Follow it… it will be okay!
-
The art of loving someone. — An Inconvenient Attachment
The art of loving someone. A single person has turned into hating oneself. Loving someone shouldn’t be a mental illness. We fight for every day.
-
A mental state of the unknown: — An Inconvenient Attachment
A mental state of the unknown: shadows that follow our deep sadness creep above the water, start to pour down like a waterfall— a change that none of us wants, in a mind of complete confusion.
-
To succeed in life, — An Inconvenient Attachment
To succeed in life, you want to strive for the best. Wanting to be in love, wanting to be seen— your voice is all that matters. What if I told you this isn’t about what you want? What if I told you it’s what you leave behind? Scars don’t heal, same with memories… careful what…
-
The joys of loving someone shouldn’t be a battle. — An Inconvenient Attachment
The joys of loving someone shouldn’t be a battle. Everyday compassion, character, power, strength, that foresee every obstacle that lies ahead. You were my light. You were my stigma, my everyday thought. Now you let me down. You, my everyday cure for a vacant heart. Worthless temptation, mind-blowing thoughts— I never knew it could exist!…
-
Exes and oh’s are two things we avoid trying to work out, — An Inconvenient Attachment
Exes and oh’s are two things we avoid trying to work out, forgetting it happened, stuck in a war of unfortunate events in the eyes of love. …Don’t settle for what the mind feels. Settle for gut feelings! Two completely different scenarios could save a life.
-
After all, — An Inconvenient Attachment
After all, blaming something you can’t change… attacking with words without a shield is something you need to change.
-
It’s okay to move on from the feeling of not having love! — An Inconvenient Attachment
It’s okay to move on from the feeling of not having love! It’s okay to be alone. This world is full of journeys that you follow alone. Sometimes, try to understand: why get mad at ourselves? The mental state gets so worked up to the point that whoever’s around gets the wrath of complete anger.…
-
Looking at yourself in the mirror, — An Inconvenient Attachment
Looking at yourself in the mirror, blindsided by the demons that surround your aura, you tell yourself second looks aren’t bad, especially if you’re hurting. The bloodshed of a broken heart can result in a turmoil of unbreakable feelings toward others, after the pity party’s over.
-
Don’t underestimate the ability — An Inconvenient Attachment
Don’t underestimate the ability to focus on a new day’s positive tomorrow. Remember, lust is one thing, but also remember: feeling worthy is more sentimental. The theory behind self-respect should come from you.
-
Finally, — An Inconvenient Attachment
Finally, in the right place. The sky is blue, and the sun is bright. Birds chirping— how wonderful is everything right now? 🙂
