can someone Feng Shui my fucking brain?

Art reflects.
not my fault if these reflections are rotten

love is not an abstract noun
its a verb.
love is an action
a choice to stay each day
backs turned from each other
facing out to see their own view of life’s storm
but held up by each other;
spine 2 spine

he said
remind me -
how old are you turning this year?
I replied: 23
a birthday smile and head tilt to take the edge off the horrifying idea of my development from girl
to woman
~
I wish these words I hear fell on ignorant ears-
missiles shooting through my skull
Oh to have ignorant ears!
~
I’m sorry that by leaving you to find myself I have to take your girlfriend away
I wish I could split down the middle
Like a cell multiplying
And leave my other half with you forever
it is never fair to only let someone love half of you
~
I like to think that when you die,
your energy splits -
and disperses
to every place where you experienced your fondest memories
a trail of warm glowing whispers mapped out across every inch of the earth where your feet met
the ground.

i was never scared of spiders until the kids at school called me weird for catching them gently in
my hands
so I started to crush them -
crushed my true self.
