I’ve been here before
There’s no difference
Broken is broken
Drowned is drowned
Buried is buried
But tomorrow I’ll be above ground

Monster Movies
I miss you
The stars after we’d visit
Seem a bit dimmer now
And monster movies
Aren’t nearly as monstrous
Rustle
A rustle on the leaves
A shimmer on the surface
A brush on my face
You undermine my tension
In the subtlest of ways
Elemental
It’s elemental
The way we go together
Like fire and ice
The silkiest steam
No More
Terrified no more
(Just slightly anxious)
Sunlight
Does the anxiety-wracked body good
(Calms the nerves a bit)
Into my depths of black
Glowing serenity spins
(I think I mean you)
Solar
It holds the hills
Summer blades emblazoned
Glow of gentle grace
Warmth on winter’s face
Sol
Soulful
Now simply a star
Staled by study
Aten toppled
Man’s myth marred
Sol
Soulless
Down
A long, long way down
Memories like a well
Leagues under the soil
History knows no bottom
I’ve seen the roots
Watered them with my tears
I’ve risen with them from the dirt
I know my origins
The place of my birth
My coming of age
Not of physicality
But of self and worth
You were there
Watering the soil I lay under
Pulling me to push through
Into a brighter, warmer world
I’m always down
For you
Beyond
There’s comfort in familiarity
That is deceiving
There’s joy in nostalgia
That is entrapping
I’m a particle in a wave
That will move beyond it all
Distance
You may be distant
But you aren’t pointless
Detachment is a symptom
Of a beautiful soul
Writing
You write about lost love
I write about dying friendships
And chaotic nerves
