I showed up in your darkest times
when only our eyes could come up with something as beautiful as rhymes
I showed up when you needed me
when all that you told me sounded like a sad breathless plea
I showed up when you were sick
when all that you felt wasnt enough and i could blow you over with one little flick
i showed up for you when you were at your death bed
when i stood there and cried a...
This basement holds so many secrets.

I don’t like him
I just smile whenever he comes over
I don’t like him
I’ll just drop everything to be with him
I don’t like him

I don’t like him
But he sure does have a great smile

I don’t like him
But I’ll really miss him when he moves
I don’t like him
But I was so jealous when he got a girlfri...

He had tears running down his face but for the first time I saw through it. Through the false and hooded lies. Through it all I saw the true monster he was. The cave was dark and I heard a scraping against the wall. His k...
I could never fully recover
It rooted itself inside of me
It was in everything
It came out in my everyday activities
My thoughts
It was growing inside me
The further away I got
The bigger the root grew

Until I was nothing but the root
The evil had taken over
The root had grown into a beautiful tree
But this beauty was not go...
I can’t believe he would go behind my back. I call him. No answer. I’ve ran around the school looking for him but I can’t find him. My foot hits the locker hard, as I kick it trying to get some anger out. “Colter!” I yell, but I know he’s not gonna answer. I kick it again. Then my phone dings. A text. From Colter. ‘I’m so sorry. I love you.’ Like that’s gonna make up for it. Below that...
