The Mistress

An original poem by Rachel Kiser

109
The Mistress
Personal

My love,

My heart bleeds for you,

Slowly drowning myself

Slowly dying within my own

Heartbreak.

Every time I think of you,

I lose a piece of my soul.

A piece that is forever torn and discarded

Like a forgotten toy.

Dusty

Dismembered

Deteriorated


The drug was your true love

And I was your mistress.


She is the type of beauty that can only

Evolve from true euphoria.

A heart wrenching

Consuming

Throb that has you feeling outside reality.


A “reality” I cant give you.


She is the perfect lover.

Her taste leaves you hungry for more

A salivation you can’t quench.

She wraps her ghostly arms around

You in a warm embrace,

One that truly open your mind and body.

True soul mates.


I can understand why you chose her.

Her body curves graciously with every

Drag.

Her tongue whispers such spells I could never

Cast.

She makes you

Moan

Whimper

Beg for more.

She knows where to touch you

Where to kiss you

Where to fuck you

An existential orgasm.

Something inconceivable by any

Other


You slinked out late at night to indulge in our forbidden love.

You hid our secret to preserve your addiction.

You inject your veins with a feeling I will never give you.


When you are with her,

I become an anomaly.

Our past

Our love

Our memories

Cannot be found

At the bottom of a pipe

At the bottom of a handle

At the bottom of a bottle.


I only wish you could have loved me as much as you loved her.

Maybe if you did

We would still be together.

We would create our own beautiful reality

Our own toxic love story.

The crossing of the stars

Creating a downward spiral

That ends in dystopia.

But it would be ours.

It would be us.

It would be beautiful.

Because it would be with you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
