his eyes remind me of the stars
i love to gaze at in the sky
each night
eyes overflowing with all the poetry i could paint,
forever holding him in my arms
eyes that make everything else in the world
worthless
so entrancing, i am mesmerized constellations drawn in his irises
i live my life mesmerized by him, having memorized everything about him,
so much so that i hear the whispers of
his smooth v...
you hate eye contact
and usually i do too
but with you, i would be content to sit and stare at you for eternity
your eyes are like chocolate, so dark it’s bitter to taste
or coffee beans that i grind with my own hands
you hate eye contact
but oh, how i love the little dance they do when i laugh
your eyes light up when your happy
i want them glowing when you’re with me
i need eyes like yours in m...
sometimes it feels
like our love is against all odds
you really fumbled that first night we met
but you picked up the pieces
and rebuilt the puzzle that slipped off the table
and shattered
i had given up
i thought it was over
little did i know, the puzzle wasn’t finished yet
we used to fight a lot
lily would say we argued every night
but we don’t do that anymore
we made it past that
i know you
y...
how interesting it is
how when you first asked for my number
i wouldn’t talk to you, not after that night
but now
oh but now i can’t stay away
you hurt me, though you didn’t mean to
i know you never mean to hurt me
how interesting it is
how such an unfortunate event can lead to
such a feeling of
euphoria
i guess that’s what they call serendipity
one month, four weeks, thirty-one days
longer t...
listen
im sorry
i know what i did and i know it was wrong
and im scarred from the way your words cut me
like knives,
but ultimately,
i know it was my fault
listen,
i hate myself for the way i made you
hate me, i love you and you hated me
you say you didn’t but i saw the pain in your eyes
and the lies surrounding your words
as you said you would always love me
i’m sorry, i’m so sorry
you don’t h...
boom
windows clattering, curtains blown open wide
gray is rolling in like the ocean tides on the beach
something dark is in the air,
shut your doors,
tell your children to go inside.
pitter patter pitter patter
reindeer hooves are clacking on the roof
but it’s not christmas and santa isn’t here
drops of water fall from the ceiling,
you’d better slide a bucket under those leaks
your roof needs a...
to you,
i’m sorry
i didn’t love you,
well i did,
but not in the way you wanted
to you,
i’m sorry
for the way i treated you for the way i didn’t think
i should’ve thought
i love you,
but not in the way you wanted,
i know
to you,
i’m sorry i’m so sorry
i miss you luke i miss you so much
please if you come back ill be better
i’ll love you,
but still,
not in the way you want me to
i’m sorry...
you see,
my mother doesn’t like you,
but she doesn’t really like anyone
so that’s more of a compliment than if she did
it doesn’t matter if she likes you or not, anyway
cause _i_ like you
and that’s what’s important, right?
i’m _your girl_

“why dont you let me worry about _my girl_, ok?”
smiling, giggling, kicking my feet
because you feel safe
i’m not scared, i’m not worried, not when i’m ta...
my roots are buried deep in the grounds
of the amazon rainforest,
yanked up and skinned
prepared for the american society
i was born in chicago
but i dont remember a thing,
only knowing that it snowed on my birthday
my roots are buried deep in maryland,
where i’ve lived for most of my life
but i feel no loyalty,
no strong desire for crabs
(maybe some old bay, though)
my roots are buried nowhere...
“what the hell is going on?”
a ray of blank stares, all around the room
fidgety and guilty and someone’s crying
but i’ve never seen them before
“what’s going on?”
the woman with scary eyes and a face i don’t know walks up to me
“do you remember my name?”
“get away from me”
i’m scared
“im your mommy. do you remember me?”
“why am i here? let me go! let me go let me go let me go!”
shaking and sobbing...
