Darkness is an old friend
but we are no longer
on speaking terms
He left when you came along
Despair haunted me for years
Sucking from me
the light I so craved
In blindness I wandered
for years
I used to believe that love was a lie
A story I told myself
so I would keep walking
A mirage for the dying girl
When you are lost in the desert
any lie will do
Any sliver of hope
to keep you on your feet
But I look to mirages no more
since I was rescued from darkness,
despair, and deserts
He is an old friend, darkness
I know you are acquainted too
He held me so tightly I forgot
that the world is full of colour
and light, and love
But when I looke
He was poison in my mouth
It burned with every kiss,
every touch
He was acid on my hands
Burning, burning, burning
Shedding healthy skin
And self-respect
There is blood on my lips
Where I bit through the skin
Just to taste something else
Than the bitterness I mistook for love
There is a hole in my chest
Where I carved out my heart
So to not feel the way it beat
Envenomed my blood
And beat itself for believing
For one vast moment believing
That life can be more
Than what the scientists say

Good Title For A Vaguely romantic Poem
Every now and then
the world stops being beautiful
Everything around you
loses meaning
and you are left, wondering:
“what is the point?”
You have stopped screaming
stopped fighting
Numb and empty you stand
unable to care anymore
And that is when
you need me
That is when
you reach for a hand
And if you haven’t cut it off
a hand you will get
I think it always belonged to you anyway
But she rose
from white sheets and sunlight
With blonde, messy hair
and a shirt that was too big.
And he had an arm under his pillow
and innocent, blue eyes.
"Stay a while,"
he said,
reaching out for her.
