Silas looks at me in the hallway.

I walk without making eye contact, and I push my hair to ensure it covers the bruises.

I don’t want him to know.

I don’t want anyone to know.

The noise of conversations bring me at ease.

I am okay.

I am okay.

I am-

Not okay.

I feel Silas’ molten stare burn into me.

Do I risk a glance? Yes. I look over and sure enough he’s staring.

But not out of worry, n...

Wind howls, tornados swirl.

Lightning flashes, thunder roars.

Trees snap, people fly.

“You said you wouldn’t leave!”

“You promised!”

We stand in the middle of the winds.

Amongst the calmest of the storm.

Muted screams, deafening cries.

A tear shed, raindrops fall.

“Where are you?”

“Why did you leave?”

He stands, raindrops in his eyes.

Muddy colored eyes like the wet ground.

“I’m sorry.”

“You...

I want to take your troubles away

All the worries and all the pain

Watching you crumble is breaking me

You are all l ever wanted to be

You brought me into this world

I can't watch you leave it

That thought hurts

I never want to see it

I want to hold you and take it away

For a while you haven’t been the same

Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest

All you do is try your best

Please be st...

Explicit. ❗❗❗🤬

A spotless canvas - little covering.

Displayed with the flashing

lights and clangorous music.

The smell of

cheap beer,

loud pot,

and sheer lust

clinging to the air.

Music vibrates the stage.

The sound resonates

off of the pole

- as she clutches it

between her legs.

The canvas moves to the melody.

...

Every tear you shed,

Sparks a fire in my chest.

I am jealous of the feelings,

Jealous because I am impressed.

I couldn’t feel a tiny thing,

For my emotions have turned numb.

There wasn’t room for any pain,

When my long day was done.

I wish that I could hurt that way,

A way that makes me sad.

But I take every giant loss,

And pretend that I am glad.

Denial is my favourite thing,

Though it makes m...

Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest

I know I should have you back in my arms

You cheek nuzzled up against my breast

Mother and son

Just chilling and in love

I never meant to break my word

Everything I’ve been doing

Is to get back to you

You are my quest

My person

My son

And the best thing

I’ve done on this planet...

It’s difficult,

Watching your heart break.

Knowing there is nothing I can do,

To make it better.

I’d do anything to make it stop,

But it isn’t enough.

Isn’t enough to stop the hurt you are feeling,

Isn’t enough for you to go back to how you were,

And that hurts me.

It hurts me watching you hurt.

Every time you cry it hurts me,

Angers me,

Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest....

Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest.

I never meant to make you cry,

That was my last intention.

But the world works in mysterious ways,

Putting people together,

And then tearing them apart,

Just to entertain itself.

I never meant to make you cry,

I still love you.

But I don’t think that’s enough anymore.

We were good while we lasted,

But too many arguments were had,

And to...

every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest,

the gap between us, an uninvited guest,

the flames lick at my heart, burning,

at the pit of my stomach, a lonely yearning,

we never talk in public, yet text all night,

you know my each and every plight,

when the waterfalls gush from your eyes,

i do admit, a part of me dies,

i feel anger, hot and red,

i feel sadness, a numb sensation in my head,

i wa...

Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest.

Seeing you in pain will never put my thoughts to rest.

I cared for you, like you were family.

I thought for the few years you were gonna live happily.

Now I see life is full of bumps and falls, you gotta learn how to crawl before you walk.

I never wanted to see you like this nor did I want to have this talk.

I can’t help this thought but, You Need...
