Possible (By Cat Matchuk)

They are sharp, jagged.
Not equal,
not perfect halves.

Relax
Relax (By Cat Matchuk)
Relax
here’s a small pond
The water feels like needles pricking every inch of me

Suffocate
Suffocate (By Cat Matchuk)
I never kept track of our kisses.
I can’t remember which one
was the last.
The pain is not a secret.
Although I throw scarred leather
over these bones,
the angles of my heart still rip through paper
Hello
Hello (By Cat Matchuk)
It has been years since I knew who I was.
What I stood for,
and now I fall, I believe no longer.
I protect no one.
Frantic Whispers
Frantic Whispers (By Cat Matchuk)
Recall every song,
recall every memory.
Whispers are frantic
your breath of hope could ache.
Blame
Blame (By Cat Matchuk)
Day brought the shadows when it shone too bright,
created the darkness to dance with the light.
Blame the sun for burning,
fire on your skin,
and watch as the clouds abandon the sky.
Crumbled Dust
Crumbled Dust (By Cat Matchuk)
You see me, you see right through,
past the flesh and into the heart.
Awaking from a dream just to stumble across the broken concrete of buildings,
you wish to be dreaming again, it’s better.
