Literature Text

The biggest fear that comes with distance,
is the thought that someone else might try it too.
And perhaps while you're up all night talking to them,
you'll fall like I did for you...

'That thought alone, is the most painful of them all'

Invincible

I am a laborer of dreams and I'm building up a pyramid. The ghosts might try to kill me but I learned to always live with it. The fragile thoughts that draw you to the edge of your ill mind; Believe when I say that giving up would be a true crime. The only thing that you should do is plow ahead forward, No stepping back because I got your back and that's a foreword An introductory paragraph to what it means to me, when I have always told you that we are going to be:

I killed our love

I broke my own heart And yours too All for nothing I had doubts I wasn't sure anymore That we were meant to be And now I'm thinking about you Trying to make sense out of all this Only to realize how much I miss you

I Miss You

I miss your face. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss your laughter. I miss the twinkle in your eyes. I miss your kindness. I miss your sympathy, your empathy. I miss your reasoning. I miss your determination. I miss your patience. I miss you staying up with me when I was sad. I miss being able to talk to you. I miss the you you used to be. But now you've changed. Now you're only anger and pain. I've tried to help, but you won't let me. I've tried to talk to you, but I'm met with a wall. I miss the you you used to be. I miss you.

Something to love her back

I saw Gwen for the first time in God knows how long today. She looked different. She had two new tattoos and a new piercing and her face wasn't freckly anymore. She said she couldn't live without her foundation. Couldn't show her face in public without it. Talk about fucking paranoid. What happened to the tomboy Gwen I used to know? She asked me if I wanted to go with her to vote and I said sure, even though I wasn't registered and didn't give a damn about politics. On the way there, when she and I were in her car, she told me she'd been fucking a new guy lately. I said cool and asked if it was any good. Then she looked at me with this big g

Rest

Your brain might tell you You should be doing more! But more can sometimes result in less For quantity is no substitute for quality. Remember, clearly, that rest is never a thing of laxity. So long as you wake with a fresh sense of passion For what you wish to achieve. - Word of Chen

Bonding with the Spirits

To bind a spirit, one must know To see and write the æthers flow. To lure and croon them, ere they show, And thou canst bind them with a vow. The cleft of worlds might cause thee grieve, Yet overcome the æther’s cleave And pull a spirit from the weave. But sooth their fury, lest they leave! Nurse them, tend them, do them just. Obey; Revere them, if you must! Labor hard to gain their trust, Lest they shun or turn to dust. Once the spirits’ mistrust died, It freely will come to thy side, Its favor full in thee confide, Will grant thy touch upon its hide, Then guide thy quill, but show no fright! Fear they sense when

A Life Lacking Autism - 1

Tonight (Sol) Sol has tiptoed halfway down the stairs when he hears his baba's voice from the living room. "I spoke with Mx. Ramirez over the phone. They think we should see a specialist." "I don't know." Mama sounds frustrated. "I don't think there's anything wrong with him... he's just different. A little quirky." "Honey... his teacher works a lot of kids. They have basic training to identify disorders in children. And our son..." Baba's voice cracks. "He's showing a lot of the signs. You remember the incident yesterday." Sol sits frozen. His parents hadn't said anything when they brought him home early from school that day. They'd sighe

Tomorrow, Today

The world forgot about human beings, leaving a landscape populated with wind, rain, and the tiny clicks of gears. A doughnut machine continues to deliver freshly baked doughnuts by conveyor belt to a large rotting pile, until it’s delivered by a self-driving dumpster to an incinerator. Errand running personal robots keep busy by sweeping the same spot over and over, until they’ve worn clean through and require the floor maintenance machine to replace the hardwood. Terraforming vehicles continue to reshape the landscape, building places which will never be touched by human hands, shaking the ground with heavy construction, kno

Mute

There once was a girl who knew not how to speak The muscles in her throat were too fragile and weak She wanted to sing but could not make a noise She found herself bullied and teased by the boys Saddened and crying, head down as she'd walk To herself, she would think "How I wish I could talk!" Little did she know, speaking would only waste breath The boys would not hear her, for they were all deaf

Nix Beats

All you angel headed hipsters. Look how far you've fallen. You flew too close to the moon, didn't you? For so long you were lifted up by soothing walking baselines and crooning saxophones intermingled with the rusty whirring thoughts of the rejects who loved you. You were underdogs who scavenged the streets for their next hit and abandoned the unis where students scrawled formulaic villanelles and had to be scared into realizing that sex was actually a thing people had. Your starry dynamo sputtered and crashed and burned under the pressure, yet you survived. You survived long enough to get the masses to agree with you. They saw your ecstas

boy from my dreams

i had a dream last night about a boy with stars in his eyes who made me feel more alive than ever and made my heart leap more than fish begging for food he kissed me so unselfishly and held me as if he was scared i'd break trying to put me back together with each kiss, hand hold, and shared sigh 'you're beautiful, every little piece darling' his voice melted my insides and the drops so full of joy ran out my eyes and he kissed them all away

I have this fear. I've lost so many people, they start getting afraid of me. Of how deep I can love them. My last break up hit me harder than any other one. I had given him everything, I was willing to risk Everything for him. And yet he thought I didn't appreciate all the little things he did for me. I talked him out of suicide four times, he called me his soulmate, called me perfect. Promised me if I ever needed a heart transplant he would give me his. (I was born with heart issues) and he promised he would NEVER leave me, and yet he still did. And started dating another girl not even two weeks after we broke up!
