Dictum

It is for the queen to suffer
Without shedding one tear.

Auto Suggestion

I’m beautiful, it’s just that you don’t have the eyes
I’m divine, it’s just that you don’t have faith
I’m the answer, it’s just that you’ve stopped asking
I’m your dream, it’s just that you sleep no more
I’m the sweetness of your memories, it’s just that you’ve forgotten.

Dying

As days go by, labels shrink
and wither away like dead skin.
I am not even narcissistic anymore.
Only delusional.
