Day 21 of #instawrimo is favorite book. And I can’t pick just one. I also forgot to throw my favorite vampire books on the pile.

he says I shouldn’t make any rash  decisions when I’m like this.  when I’m in this state.  this pool of ebony,  this wilted tear.  I know he’s right.   I know I don’t know myself most days.  is the manic the true me?  the buzzing hornets’ nest of a girl  I see staring back from the mirror?  I don’t know.   I don’t know why he chooses this love.  he says he doesn’t know  if he can ever be happy.  he chooses the wrong women.   I don’t take offense,  because I am each of those women.  wrong & spelling everything  with a somber flair.   I think he likes it  & hates himself for his wants.  who are we these days?  fragments— fortunate on the surface , rotting inside.   I think I like my rash decisions.  lose focus on this massacre  long enough to cover the bodies,  long enough to cover us up  with the only bandaid I know , & you will see who I am.   we are much sadder in poem form.  we are much more palatable in person.

CUSTOM POETRY SALE

I become a missing person  in the middle of conversations.  I'm not interested in your  story unless your face frowns at the exact moment mine falls.  Someone stole my light so  now I sneak into your heart to snatch yours.  I shove it in my ebony eye holes  & pray that it'll stay.  Please,  I implore you, look inside my insides. Do you see ink where crimson  should roar?  Is the sea inside  my belly black as night?  I admit,  I don't know who I am,  anymore.
