• sometimes you feel lonely, too, right?

  April 20, 2012

   you can still find loneliness in a crowded room. you can know everyone intimately and still feel like a stranger. you can find immense joy in immersing yourself in the passions you love and yet still come home to an empty room and zero missed calls and feel worthless. i'm not trying to make...

• Derealization

  February 8, 2012

   A light breeze runs fingers through my hair; as expected for this time of year, the air is crisp and I wish I wore a jacket. Unhindered by clouds, the sun merely shines brightly, warmth an afterthought. Laughter of children at play hangs in the air. A tantalizing aroma of steak searing on a...

  November 26, 2011

• A Pain With No Name

  January 29, 2011

   Flipping through pages of not-so-old photo albums like driving down dark highways vaguely remembered through child’s eyes. The face reflected in the mirror, it's mine--I recognize it, but only from the albums. I’m not who we think I am. When does one become what, live the life, ...

• burn

  January 10, 2011

  You gave expensive presents yet your presence is cheap, leaves me feeling worthless. I attempt to tempt love from your lips, you return an empty kiss squeamishly as though i were a corpse. Meeting your gaze feels shameful like walking in on your parents fucking. I even blush. In the dark recesses...
