at night i ask
when will i relearn to love myself
in the quiet hours
lessons i have yet to learn
(22 July 2014)
Things that start with
“maybe if I”
and end with
“then I will feel better’
rarely ever work.
Happiness will not come from someone else’s touch
there is nothing and noone
you can put in your mouth
or on your body
that can bring you joy.

self-loathing:
i find myself
relieved when vile men can
still find this expanse of flesh
appetizing
24 april 2014
you are
not a graceful
sleeper but i have learned
to love your sprawled sighs when
i can’t
sleep.
