Whelve

Whelve

to bury something deep inside; to hide.


the 'He' 
(once wanted to say)

 "I wish I wrote the way I
thought;
Obsessively,
Incessantly,
With maddening hunger.
                                                           
I'd write myself into
nervous breakdowns,
Manuscripts spiralling out
like tentacles into abysmal
nothing.
And I'd write about you
a lot more
than I should."
  I'd write to the point of suffocation. 

-Benedict Smith,


       "l want to be a mystery, yet be
known
I want to be together, yet alone
Is it too much to ask, to be famous
yet unknown?
To be a wanderer, yet have a home?"

-Kara Douglas


"they say lavender
softens anxiety 
and i
wonder whether i can
plant a garden 
 so
dense in your mind
that the knots in your
chest unravel 
and
never tighten again. "

— jasmine kaur

I am forever caught between
saying too much and
not saying enough with words
I have no balance
I drip
and I pour
leave you empty or overflowing
my mind like a tide
either holding back
or all waves rolling
(was it my drought or my flood that sent you running?)

- G.H.
                


                                          this will go on forever ;

Trash

You are everything but invisible.  I can see you wide and clear, I can hear you loud and easy. I can touch you all and cold. I can hold you warm and cozy. You are everything but invisible. You are not amazing; you have your flaws. I didn’t expect you to be amazing and flawless at all. You are a mess, a big mess. But not invisible. Can you believe that? can you believe that I can love you and see you? I can see you. I don’t choose to ignore you.  A giant pile of mess. Two days old orange peels, your clipped nails, your plants’ dries leaves, your crumbled paper with your attempt to write something meaningful, your period pads, your tears-soaked napkins, A huge rotting piece of mess. That is foul and rotting away. Smells like rotten eggs. That is what you are but not invisible. You are not invisible. Don’t try to slit your wrists, stage your own death, lay on the floor for me to notice you. I already do.   I see you. You are not invisible.  Can you understand that? ...

Three lives

If I get three lives, I'll marry you in two And in the third - I'll be a struggling poet In a dim room  Trying to write down What colour would your eyes be? And why I know they will be dark brown  I'll be alone, but not lonely  I'll have a few friends, or many so In this life I'll be more bony I'll have bigger eye sockets, and eye balls: chapped lips and sunken cheeks  My favorite colour will be white : Like the shade of dying snow I'll spend my twenties, Thirties writing you  breaking 11 of my pens: Why my silent sobs feel loud Why the smell of blood reminds me of your mouth  Why the ghost under my bed warms my cold feet  With his warm hands  In this life I'll marry too And I'll make a husband regret me again I'll ask him to love me just to  Watch him fail ; He'll ask me to love him , just to see me in pain  I'll take pills and I'll do blood baths: Scrubbing my skin to bones just to stay sane  I'll sit in a dim room Looking for m...

Paraprosexia

I like being alone. it's like i have a full time to think about the good bad decisions of my life ; the times i created memories and times i ruined .it's like i have time to re-evaluate life and it's meaning, to re think whatever i did and i regret; things i am proud of ,things i am not. i love being alone. but yet when i see a group of friends chat over a cup of coffee, group of friends laughing while making weird poses fr camera, or best friends getting married, or a mom and daughter dancing on a wedding song. when i see these things, i think and i feel......although i love being alone......i dont want to.  Tht moment when you realise your usher love for sadness is letting you , to not let youself be the way you want yourself to be. you feel me? when trying to solve everyone's problem and doubts about life make you wonder how bad you have messed up your life, tht no extent of motivation can make you even a little hopeful . Tht even happiness scares you. you feel me? T...
