I am heavy with exhaustion. The world pulls at my eyes, Beckoning me with a spotlight Showing me visions of myself. “Do more, fight, try” Like I can live every instance of being If I just work hard enough. But my fingers bleed into the keys, And my eyelids show bright lights Of computer screens … Continue reading Work Ethic

Secrets
Secrets travel in flocks, Gulls on the horizon, Blotting out the sun So that the air is cold and moist. Darkening the shadows That weaken even the strong, Those lost are left to lead their pleas with falling stars Though they’re always there, The world ignores the din, Pretending to be warm While the frozen … Continue reading Secrets
I Can’t Imagine
I can’t imagine Long nights of pain not knowing what, or who, happened to us. I can’t imagine Lying awake for hours Searching for our names on any website with the option. I can’t imagine Proudly telling your friends that you lost your children To a psychopath, Who disappeared into the night, And having them … Continue reading I Can’t Imagine
Magic
Sipping serenity from the leaves of promise Careful not to drip a drop Of the sweet morning dew That swears to grant her magic.

You came to me Every Saturday, Tweeting your sweet songs of love. I knew every word, And could sing the song back If you’d ever asked. years later, you’re asking- But We've both forgotten the tune.

The Wall
Built by words of hate Separates with hollow fear Divides me in two
Fond Memories
You speak to me of memories, My youngest form standing at a fence Yelling “Pedal, pedal, pedal” As the cyclists rode by on your dreams, as if to tell me that these thoughts are fond to you. My youngest form is black with forgotten troubles, Like that day You went outside And never Came Back … Continue reading Fond Memories
Your Fiance
I met your fiance today- She talked about how You would never leave her family... Does she know about the 5 other children, or the 3 other women, Who believed the same thing? It tore me to pieces, Knowing they think you love them More than you ever loved us. She was so filled with … Continue reading Your Fiance
CaliStray
A stray cat, meandering through the world, trapped in a city she never imagined without a family to lean on. Scavenging for love and satisfaction in the trashcans of the internet and among the piles and piles of paperwork left upon her desk, she will survive the brutal realities of connection and lack-there-of, through the … Continue reading CaliStray
