Eyes sunken in, she rests her chin on her wrist, wondering what the purpose of life is. Is it finding joy in random toys, in video games and interested boys, praying a smile fills that void? Or is it reminiscing in random texts, time machines of things you've left, people, places, words, and thoughts- Memories … Continue reading Nothing particularly Important

Tell Me You Love Me
Tell me you love me, that we’ll always be friends. Know I'd bring you the stars, if we could hold hands. Tell me you love me, that I can dance in your skies. I’ll be the sun to your moon, If you stay in my life... Tell me you love me, and we’ll never lose. … Continue reading Tell Me You Love Me
Run Away With Me
Won’t you run away with me? We can disappear into the trees, following our hearts, falling on our knees, with laughter, and joy, and love, and need. Everything inside is begging you, please? I know what I want, and I know what I see, And I know that you know that we’re meant to be. so … Continue reading Run Away With Me
Dying of Thirst
As the sun sets, my body sweats; This burned, aching, greedy mess begs in anticipation for when the tide rolls in to fill my soul with nourishment.Lessons and warnings erode from the shore"Drink from the ocean, and thirst even more," Do they know how good the ocean tastes,When you’re aching to drink after for too … Continue reading Dying of Thirst
The One with the Aliens
Trapped here, Between my heart and my gut, Caged by my ribs and a mind too open, I’m Fighting for a freedom I don’t really need. Your eyes plead, “Don’t leave…” But your arms are wrapped around another. “Soul mate,” or side dish? I’ve never known the difference. Not here, anyways. “You complete me.” Is … Continue reading The One with the Aliens
Unchanged
Chalk lines on pavement once meant hopscotch; now, they outline the bodies. Orphaned backpacks of bulletproof fabrics litter the vibrant halls, while the children line up in clouds to get fitted for angel wings. On the wall: "NOTICE: Heaven is running low on size '7T'" A little girl wonders if they come in a pony theme... As a nation, paralyzed … Continue reading Unchanged
Like Leaves Falling
The leaves fell slowly, at first. So slowly, it was hard to tell what was happening. I only knew they had fallen because every time I looked back, the branches were a little more barren. Over time, though, so many had come to litter the ground that they practically paved the walkway. Once strong, vibrant, … Continue reading Like Leaves Falling
No title
Can I just disappear? If I do, what happens to this confusion? I don’t know what I’m doing... I just know I don’t belong. It’s a problem I can’t solve. No matter what I do, I always feel alone.
To Let You Down Easy
Wrap me in your silky arms, ribbons of love around my wrists. I’ve found myself within your knots, Tied up, then down, then in your kiss. This noose that hangs around my throat, A final breath I'll never miss. Suffocating in our dreams, Consoled through death by wandering lips.
Doodling with Words #4 – Fire in a Storm
My hatred for you is like fire in a storm. It burns as long as the rain takes to fall, and the smoke is nonexistent when the clouds disappear.
