      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Gold Mouth - Hannah D. McClendon

      I dedicate this book to all of the tribulations

      That have brought me this far.

      This book is not a cry for help, this book is a testimony, a story; a work of art.

      Chapters.

      Pain.

      Trauma.

      Love.

      God.

      Pain.

      Grown Men Don't Cry.

      Something was missing in you;

      I saw the look in your eyes

      as I told you I couldn't do it anymore,

      I never meant to hurt you

      but I have to put myself first sometimes,

      your eyes were glossy,

      bloodshot,

      you looked right through me;

      I could tell they were lying,

      when they said grown men don't cry

      I was sick of lying to please you

      it’s not my job to tease you; it's hers,

      she’s exactly what I’m not,

      I’m confused,

      I’m honestly just going through it

      I can't explain my thoughts about you,

      I’m sick and I need time to get better

      my mind is wounded, give me time to heal

      Loving you as a friend drives me crazy;

      I wanna love you for real,

      you mean too much to me,

      we’re too close; I need a break

      I need some space; cut me a break,

      I’m sick of always acting fake

      you’re not a brother

      you're like a father to me,

      you could read my lies through my lips as I spoke

      so softly as not to slit your throat,

      I regret my choice of words but I don't regret my choice,

      I apologize if you never understood my intentions

      if you never realize that I despise our status

      I sat not across from you but adjacent,

      I’m afraid one day you'll replace me with a better friend,

      someone who knows how to be a good friend,

      I don't know how to treat a man and

      you sat there listening so patiently

      My words burning through your chest as fire

      my words soaking through your veins like poison

      your body was with me but your soul had gone on,

      I killed a part of you I didn't want to deal with anymore,

      it was time
