in my mouth instead. there will always be you
holding my hand protecting me from
monsters in the dark worse than the ones

you will not meet my eyes when i
tiptoe back through eggshells and phantom
heartbeats. i guess i should have said
i don’t know the labyrinth of myself. i

unrealistic ideologies of an
arbitrary cynicist.

we are the forgotten.
we are the tangled limbs
and childhood stories for
a more sensitive future; we
are the longing, we are
the limitless.
we are measured

I love you in the red shimme

Benedictions
God joined a monastery
somewhere in Europe, where
the churches are old
but the people are older
still, overlaid hands sodden
with faith and speckled with dust.
He rose before the sun and prayed
to Himself nine times a day
among his brothers of the cloth,
who mumbled psalms into their palms
and knew they were heard.

Brevity doesn't work in this poor thing's favour. I actually kind of hate it but it fits really well with the tremors and the constant fall of debris inside me.

The simple structure works really well in this piece! I love that it is so short and meditative. You've utilized this small amount of words to be so precise that it is highly effective, I feel, in getting the desired message across. I held my breath through the whole thing, because it seemed one little puff would break its fragility! The fact that you've started this poem off with a tiny bit of hope, and then it's gently blown down - like struggling leaves in autumn - is amazing! I definitely had to reread it six to eight times, because the emotion and meaning were just so splendid. If I'm being honest, I'll probably reread it about a dozen more before (and even after!) this comment is finished 
.
I really hope all the lovely comments on this piece could change your perspective of it: It really is a lovely little addition to your gallery, and I believe it will rest there quite happily amongst all the other beautiful writing pieces you have in there! Unfortunately, too, I've never had the pleasure of reading Paper Towns, but I hear it is just lovely. I've been meaning to go out and buy a book here, so I must ask if you'd recommend it? If so, I'll make it the first book I take to the checkout counter!
Lovely work, as always!
