Thinking about how when I woke up from a nightmare in a friend’s bed I wasn’t scared. Usually I wake up in cold sweat fearing god. Friends are so magical, they don’t even have to say anything to make you feel better sometimes.
I have a confession:
I hate being in my room all the time. I want to be anywhere else but here. Selfishly, I wish people would invite me over more often. I want to sleep in any other bed but my own. But it doesn’t make too much of a difference, my bad dreams follow me no matter where I go, I suppose it just feels less lonely.
Wish I could be committed to literally anything
My friends gift to me a glimmer of hope occasionally; and when they do, all I can think about is how badly I want to see and know the adult versions of them. I think about how nice it would be to have an extra room, or maybe a pullout couch, at the disposal of any friend looking for a warm bed and an ear to listen. I think about them coming to my house just to ask for a cigarette, and to talk about their troubles while we sit on the porch. I think about how I’ll attend (and cry at) their weddings, and I think about how I’ll be with them through messy breakups, and all the inbetweens. I think about how I’ll have their favorite snacks in my cupboard, and how I’ll make sure there’s always an extra toothbrush for them. I think about how I’ll have toys stored away for their potential kids when they visit, and I think about how I’ll get to watch all of us grow up.
I often times think the only thing stopping me from ending it is fear, but I think a little harder about the people I love, and suddenly it feels like my heart is trying to claw through my chest, and grasp onto any hope for the future.
I want to be there to love those around me until I can no longer leave my bed, and my last breaths are be spent cherishing their names.
seek familiarity in the warmth of ichor on your gelid, gelid skin
did they tell you that this world was meant for you?
or did they carve crosses in your chest, caving in your sternum?
did they tell you tales of falsified salvation, of cruel righteousness?
of eternal damnation at the blade of atheistic refutation?
seek answers in the warmth of ichor on your gelid, gelid skin
discover the world that lives to be your oyster
find redemption in the splendor of your existence
survive to lead the legacy of passion and absolution
learn to believe in the warmth of ichor on your gelid, gelid skin
seek divinity in mortality, find divinity beneath your hardened shell
seek divinity where it seeks you

hate to break it to you but if it keeps you up at night it still hurts no matter how hard you try to swallow it
