he broke my heart and my will. I don’t know what to do anymore. I want to do something, I guess, but I also just want to sit and cry, wishing he didn’t exist. then feeling bad about hating him so much and being mean, even if it’s only in my head. not like I even talk to him anymore. not like he talks to me anymore, either. I bet he’s forgotten all about me. he’d rather talk to his new girlfriend. ...
Mother’s smile and eyes
Holding a weary disguise
With happiness on the demise
Advice ageless and wise
No one notices us
We are the last to fuss
Lonely in the back of the bus
Mother’s Day yearly trust
Remember who was there
Always without a care
Washing and brushing your hair
Teaching you to beware
Children grow and leave
Mothers stay and cleave
To memories they believe
Truth in their eyes will ...
John and his license expired that day
Each one was chopped into a thousand pieces,
Which covered the vast expanse of the room.
The burbling, black blood
settled into a deep,
dark pool.
His shredded limbs were little stones
scattered around the slippery floor.
The only thing recognizable was John’s dull
eyes,
splattered with blood,
resting next to his smiling face on his license....
take my hand and my heart, my dear
they said we’d never make it past twenty
and love, i think we’ll prove them right
and we’ll live every second of it
and there’s gleaming honey on your lips,
rosepetal touches and watermelon tears
high off sugar and sourpatch smoke
the sodapop sweetness of suicide
and you’re sick to your stomach
with pink pepto bismol and lollipop red
blue raspberry eyes and bu...

she held her breath and her brother
her hand over her brothers mouth trying not to make noise breathing. both hiding in a small dark closet praying that the attacker wont check here. Shane, my brother, was shaking. not because he is cold, but because he is scared. he is too young to experience this trauma. All I could think is why did mom and dad have to leave tonight than any other night. This ea...
He talked to her, and himself off a cliff, in the same instant. He knew it was helpless. Falling in love with her. Hopefully, he thought. He had never experienced love. He had rejected it from a young age, always believing that people were playing a game on him and for his heart.
His heart was something to be guarded, shielded, suffocated in the shadows. But every so often he would let down his ...
Losing my keys and my sanity
Morning ticks away
as I plunder my purse
my work bag, my craft bag, my lunch bag
Falling behind and into a shame spiral
Promises drench my blazer
as I check under the mail
the laundry, clean and dirty, the cat
Racing thoughts and up the stairs again
Car keys smirking on bedroom floor
so I tear into lateness with my lunch bag
craft bag work bag and phone
Sliding out ...
