The first and Last
what was it like?
hitting me the first time
I never knew when it was the last one,
there were too many in between
What did you feel that first time you felt the baby kick
and what was it like when you were his last kick
when your knee hit my stomach
and the blood rushed out
and his little helpless alien form came out
did you care?
what was it like the first time you kissed me
the first time we had sex
when I bleed everywhere and I was afraid you had killed me
what did it feel like for you
were you pleased with yourself to see me in a daze
high off whatever junk you put me under
did it make you happy
what was it like for you
knowing you were my first love
my first kiss
my first sex
my first punch to the face
my last innocence
my last trust
my last love
Quince
A year older,
it's so special, but only one year
aren't I supposed to be excited
awaiting the feast
but how am I supposed to await
when I feel dead
empty and hollow
dead, no longer living
I want the mass,
the priest and his words
the pictures, the moments
the food
the guests
but the thing I want the most:
the dances
the love, the feeling it's only right now
this moment,
to keep as mine,
forever;
the memories
Fight
so is trying, worth it
is fighting for nothing,
going to bring something
is it better to quit
to have never tried at all
to give up while I'm ahead
