hello u guys. as you've maybe noticed i am not that active on tumblr anymore. sometimes it kinda feels like tumblr is dying. and i want to be able to talk to you guys about poetry and art and read your writing and i feel like tumblr isn't really that place anymore. so if you wanna talk to me or read my writing you can check it out:
and feel free to say hello to me on instagram :)
loving you is all-consuming
my heart still flutters when
i see your name on my phone
or your face.
loving you is as easy as breathing
the most natural thing to me.
loving you fills me up
from my toes to my brain
with wonder.
i don't want to imagine a world without you
The air is hot and heavy today
I'm stuck here this summer holiday
In this town with the wooden barn and the three restaurants and the old lady who sells apples
I wanted to fly away to foreign countries, but this pandemic keeps me grounded
Like a bird in a cage
My wings were cut short and now I'm fluttering helplessly around
They tremble under the weight of lost chances
Maybe I don't need my wings to fly
Maybe lost chances are new ones found

our lips have known each other for a while now
i know every crease
on your skin
it's seconds of heaven on earth
every time our lips touch
Hey everybody, I'm back on Instagram, feel free to check it out :)
i'm drowning all my plants
because
i don't know when to stop giving.
do you have a piece of me already?
no?
today's the day, buy one,
get one for free.
i've donated a pice of me to charity
and my soul to you.
take it please
i don't know what else to do with it
yes i cry a lot.
is it my fault that there's a
river running through me?
sometimes there's a flood after heavy rain
and the water washes through with
the force of a thousand men
and sometimes it drys out
brown dusty drought
there's nothing i can do
about these forces of nature.
(i am a force of nature)
am i a snake with my intestines
trailing behind me?
am i a bird with my wings cut off
feathers raining down like snow
stomp on me all you want
cut tear rip
me apart
i do it all the time, anyways
i've become soft as a cloud
let me rain down and disappear
churchbells ringing and they echo
in the valley, between mountains covered
in snow.
it smells like grass and cows and
forests and summer
and calm, fresh water.
here the floor cracks with every step you make
and the wind is whispering poems
in the old wooden attic
and as i'm whispering along i feel like
home
i tried to show you how much i
love you
by giving you roses with the thorns cut off
so you would never ever
get hurt.
i hugged you and wrapped you in
bubble wrap
and accidentally suffocated you inside.
now i've got nothing but an unhurt, unscarred
corpse
can you close
the curtains please?
i don't feel so
comfortable
with everyone peaking inside.
can you shut the blinds please
because i'm turning
into a pillar of salt
underneath every gaze.
can you close the door please
because i can't let a single crack
show through
you are my intrusive thoughts
constantly
on my mind
it's sometimes bad but
mostly good
the way my brain loves you
clings to you
yes i am clingy.
it's sometimes bad but
mostly good
when i pour my heart
out to you
i need to be filled up again
with secrets, forbidden words
but this radio silence
keeps me asking for more
because this hole in my chest
emptied of my feelings
weighs heavy on my soul
My boyfriend thinks we won't work out and that we're too different, and broke up with me because of it. He left me while I'm five months pregnant with our baby girl. I'm due in October. He says he wants to be there for us, but just as friends. I don't think I can just be his friend.... I'm too in love with him...
you love me
like one loves sundays
or a cool beer
you love me like
one loves a good nights sleep.
but i, oh i
love you like a golden sunset
like the warmth of a fire
i love you like i love coming home.
don't i deserve to be loved that way too?
i know i didn't heal you
but maybe i was the reason
you started to heal yourself
just like an earthquake can start a tsunami
(you're the tsunami in this one
tall, fascinating and terrifying)
i hope that we never stop
tearing down cities together
hey, i'm not sure if you're doing the confession thing anymore, but i had one if you don't mind! so, my girlfriend and i broke up a few weeks ago because she needed some space to figure things out. we started talking as friends a while ago, but we're both madly gay for each other and we ended up in a kinda-relationship phase rn. i completely understand that she's going through a very tough time. but sometimes i wish i could just call her my girlfriend. does that make me a terrible person?
i want to call you mine again
while we hold each other tight
but not so tight that
i might crush your delicate bones
i want to call you mine again
like i did before
but i don't want to cage you
bird set free
i hope you'll call me yours again someday
and that's when
i can call you mine again
i am white. i am privileged. i will never understand the struggle. but i stand with you
