I sit out the porch enjoying the ocean,
The salt air I’ll leave behind.
I feel the same air in which keeps me alive,
Killing me.
Out I’ll be,
by the mountains, and change of scenery.
The same breeze for which I enjoy,
Chokes me.
By the grasp of a second,
Memories turns into sadness,
Sadness turns into spiraling thoughts;
And while time had never passed so slowly,
My heartbeat has never rac...
When three people disappear
during one little season,
sometimes you’d expect
there to be a good reason.
But, no. Gone like the wind,
not enough time for an introduction.
Battled a war, fought valiantly,
they became their own destruction.
One with an infiltrator,
one lost in her mind,
and one who got away.
They were all very blind.
Summer was the war
nobody ever expected.
While the bodies laid b...
Time has never moved as fast
I used to reach up to grab your hand
Now I look down at you
As my childhood nears its end
Time has never moved as fast
I stood looking for you in my tutu
I always curtsie low toward you,
I find you when I hear you scream ‘Madi Lou’
Time has never moved as fast
You always told me to learn
As much as I can
So when I sit in my dorm, I yearn
Time has never mo...
Moonlight had nothing on you, the whole world was watching but you were the only thing that made sense to me.
I will pick you over the first touch of the sunrise, her warmth doesn’t bring fire to my bones.
Flowers had nothing on you, all the colours couldn’t match your eyes but the way you looked at them made me wish I was one of them, standing there in front of you, in the field of fallen leav...
I will wait for you
Take as long as you need to
But I will be here
Where are you right now
I know you are still trying
So good luck on that
The cactus at night
Took my own eyes far away
Never to be seen
The sunshine of joy
Steals away my ears at day
Deafening silence
My undeserved joy
Gone like tears from a martyr
I will learn again
Now I know that you
You, you are alive for now
Tears aren’t...
i lay in your arms
like all the other times before
but this time is different
this time i’m letting go
and i cry
while you cry
our tears melt into one
i’d love to just stay here
but i know that it wouldn’t do me well
and as i utter those four words
“can we stay friends?”
i look in your eyes and see them glass
glass im willing to break
i await your answer
no turning back
time has n...
My teachers whistle pierces the air,
And I'm dragged unwillingly into despair.
Push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks,
Each movement feels like an attack,
Why must I suffer through this ordeal?
Oh, how I long for the final bell's chime,
To escape this torment and prison of mine,
But the clock seems frozen in time.
Seconds turn to years,
Minutes drag on,
Hours linger,
Moments stretche on,
With...
Plucking out the withering pedals
Bodies and bouquets of florets
I promised you.
A void of lies I fed you
Closing the blinds in front of your eyes
But with you, I fell into the endless pit
I promised you.
A uplifting reminder
A song to dance away your problems
The sweet honey scent of your voice
Kept my garden blooming and vibrant
Like you.
Careful words that spilled from my mouth
Too glib for y...
I wish i had never said no
I lived in japan
I was a “perfect student”
The gangs didnt like that
One gangster did though
He liked it so much
He liked me
He asked me one day
Will you be mine?
I said “sorry, but no”
That was the biggest mistake of my life
And it would be what ended it
After 44 days of hell.
They took me to their parents house
The adults knew i was being tortured
They were sc...
There is nobody here
To watch me break down
I’m completely alone
With nobody to run too
I look at you with tears in my eyes
Begging you
To understand me
But how could you
It’s not your fault
It’s not anyone’s fault
It’s all in my head
After all
I would try to explain
To you
But I refuse to breakdown
In front of you
Now I’m yelling at you
Angry for no reason
At least no reason
That you can see...
