Hey friends, so as you may have guessed, things have been a bit unhinged and difficult of late. I've been trying to stay sane by really writing for the first time in a loooong while, and I'd like to share this one with y'all. I hope everyone is doing as well as possible. 💜🫂💚



-My Dorian Gray-


Thine leaking eyes
betray your silenced cries
as you stand affixed to a rotting wall
Your quiet lies 
cover your weeping sighs 
as you teeter unbalanced to fall

You, my Dorian Gray 
want me drawn to stay 
even as I shiver with the need to flee
A living pompeii 
you want me to lay 
and not move as I beg to be free

Internal whispers 
from wicked witch sisters
make a marsh of our broken mind 
No lovely glass slippers
hide our bleeding blisters
or lead us to one day find

A world that makes sense 
not one riddled with hints
thrown about the well beaten path
To look past the forced fence
that surrounds us hence 
to see joy, not hatred or wrath

An emotional jealousy 
fraught with false prophecy 
that if followed will lead to my doom
So we sit here now breathlessly 
praying quite desperately 
that death shan't come too soon
