Is Tumblr still Tumblr? It’s been a while.

Is Tumblr still Tumblr? It’s been a while.
It’s quite an interesting thing to read the words you’ve written during another time in your life, to get goosebumps… reading. your. own. words. It’s another thing all together when those words seem to make that bottomless pit of despair not so bottomless and give you hope of of reaching solid ground again.
So, thank you wise, younger self.
I’m trying my hardest to not act how I feel.
My words–
they were embers…
left alone in the cold,
ne’er stirred;
Do I remember…
all the stories to unfold?
**
Turned to ash,
a mere memory
of a past long ago;
cleared the cache–
forgotten reverie
time does outgrow.

Oh, hello there, old friend.
I don’t have you.
I don’t have poetry.
I wander aimlessly.
Is this life after death?
or, maybe, lives.
If my mind is Wonderland,
you’re the Cheshire Cat.
Appearing and disappearing
on a whim.
Leaving only
bits of fur on my hands,
the taste of catnip
on my lips,
and traces
of that mischievous smile
to taunt.If not for the
hairball in my throat
I would suspect
you merely a dream.
I feel like my heart is either open, inviting everything in, or coated in titanium and encased in six feet of ice.

Our generation has lost the value of romance, the value of trust, the value of conversation. Sadly small talk is the new deep.
Fuck love and it’s bullshit.
