why do we romanticize suffering?

notes on the performance of grief and the horror of being ordinary

alzheimer as a slow lobotomy

Octobers and persimmons

the human desire to remember and be remembered

the years have piled on top of us like thick sediment, a layer of lime that slowly suffocates.

empathy is a luxury i can't afford

notes from inside a body that gave too much

nobody is thinking about you

when the world seems to move on without you

the intimacy of dialing a dead person’s number

like a prayer you don’t believe in but are too scared to stop saying

you mourn because it looks better than guilt

you flinch when touched, but you’re fine

guilt follows me around like a stray dog

we walk the same streets now

you burned the bridge and acted like i lit the match

to the ones who trusted and got too close

the playground is empty, but i’m still running in circles

out of breath, but i don’t know how to leave
