MY HEAVEN, IT SEEMS

IS ALL AROUND ME.

.

we walk,

i am leading the way.

smoke is caking my lungs and it's not the

same numbness that usually lingers there.

"you give me the night, i can show you the world."

is all i say to him.

i glance over at him

and the blush that lingered on his cheeks

in the book store,

had resurfaced,

and it seemed that

he

would

not

meet

my

eyes.

thoughts burn in the backs of

my eyelids,

the socks

the socks

the socks.

"what a slut."

her voice echoes.

i don't know if it will ever stop.

"you faggot, you probably have aids."

his voice doesn't seem to cease either,

the headaches aren't as regular anymore.

good drugs and alcohol keep the voices away.

"are you okay harry?"

his voice is different, doesn't stab into the corners

of my mind like knives, isn't prying, isn't

begging to know more.

"m'fine."

we enter the hotel,

i look back at him and he's looking around.

pay me attention.

pay me attention



And this is all I have written. I don't know if I'll finish this book, hopefully one day I will find it in me to do so. Thank you for the support of this odd novel. Much love x
