When water beads on the outside of the You remind me of cold milk on the counter.
Good at first, when it's right out of the fridge.
When water beads on the outside of the glass

Janice
Losing my brother was the most
Difficult day of my life.
But it was all okay because then
I married his wife.
Her name is Janice and I pretty sure
That she only married my brother for his dollar bills,
Because she was the only one written in his wills.
Janice and I have been married for a year,
But our relationship is dying, I fear.
I lost my job
And now I am broke,
And can’t even afford to buy...

Wishing and watching as other couples enjoy years of being with each other and growing old together. Longing that you too would have all that time to be with your partner. Envy that other couples take their time with each other for granted. But with all that you learn to...
How Long Though?
We’ve always been taught:
“Things have to get worse for them to get better.”
Or
“The sun is warmer after the rain”

Once upon a time
Life was filled with
Wonder and magic
Once upon a time
Bedtime tales of fairies, mermaids,
And princess with their prince
Once upon a time

How is a question I can’t seem to answer.
I wander between the land of the living and dead, searching for something that I can’t seem to put into words.
An abstract feeling of warmth in my heart.
Gentle hands.
A dimpled smile.
A voice following me like a moth to a flame amidst the valleys of undead
_“Come back to me, my love” _
_Memories of a young man sipping on coffee beneath the...
