i live in between towers of glass plates, used and unwashed china, put to waste, sinks filled with mugs stained with coffee, rings of darkness lining their insides
ripped envelopes and love letters scattered over the counters, the words you never said with your mouth scattered over the page
and cold floors with broken glass, from the vases i smashed
the shower curtains are ripped, thrown on the tile, a white fabric in pieces, balled up in a corner

“If theology, as Asha claimed,” Professor Kalam began, “is the study of beginnings and endings, then it is the study of everything.” He paused, drawing a circle on the sand floor of the amphitheater. Morning light filtered through the red velarium. I blinked. “We will focus on the protasis of this claim today then move on to the apodosis tomorrow. Can anyone offer a counter argument?” I scribbled the words protasis and apodosis on my slate, intending to look them...

Have you ever considered trying to drink ink?
I'm seriously thinking about it.
I have absolutely no idea why I would want to.
But I'm intrigued by the unknown.
So with that fact in mind I will venture forward.
And try the blue stuff in my pen.

On the floor, there is a puddle
of my thousand fruitless tears.
A clouded, salted swamp on white tile;
vacant;
translucent surface scattering my hazy reflection
into a thousand empty fragments.
One slice of my figure
for every tear you coaxed from my eyes
for every lash you hurled gently at my back;
this is the way it has been
and will always be, for
when a person is gone, they disappear into the void of time / and are,...

She was planted as a seedling no more than a sprout and she grew and grew and grew. As the sun shone on her, she bathed in its rays absorbing each one in the beauty of her leaves with not a single care or worry in the world for she were young and small. She did not know what she was to face for she was too young to understand that on every rose is thorns some more than others...

[You're scrolling along the Internet, bored as usual, and come across the Official Texan Recruitment Website. Curious, you take a look.]
Looking for a change of scene? Move to Texas! There are so many wonderful reasons, including but not limited to:
Size!
We gotta start with the obvious one--Texas is big. We are the second-largest state in the USA in terms of both landmass and population. We're so big we have our own power grid (most states rely on other...

I'll say hello and they'll say goodbye,
but then I'll say hello again,
even if they only want a goodbye.
But then it hurts because I only wanted to say hello,
I'm not as clever as anything they'll throw.
But for them, the only thing they wish for is a goodbye.
Then I tell myself, "you tried".
Goodbye's always cut deeper than a knife,
What was the point of my life?
A hello will always soon lead to a goodbye,

I listen to the same song, waiting for it to raise my ego. Waiting for me to love myself like I always had. But is it truly possible when I'd gone to the point of no return? Nobody can love themselves when they'd shredded their heart into minuscule pieces, not you, not me.
I don't get how I expect myself to love myself when I messed up this bad. With my friends, I was such a failure that they didn't...

“Take down the tapestry,
The threads are bare and broken now;
Hide it from sight with lock and key
And, never more, I, solemn, vow,
Will I ever see those colours bright
That, with my Love, I gently weaved;
How sore and sour turned the sight
Of joy and strength, when heart's bereaved?
Away! You threads of red dyed twine,
You bright and strong strings of my heart,
Lest watered down, my tears, your shine
Divest, dilute to ruined art”
