Beacon is a hero.

She’s devoted her teenage life to do what’s right. Protect people. Enact justice.

Be the beacon of hope that her town needed.

But she failed.

She failed Salen, her best friend. And now she’s dead.

Pippa Folly is no hero.

Salen would have wanted her to continue being that role model. Be the protector.

But she isn’t here anymore.

Ink Spill needs to go down. No matter wh...

A chambered heart, unsecured, unprepared.

Two lockpickers approach the chambered heart.

And they pick and pick till I’m ensnared.

You say, I must choose but where shall I start?

The listener or the adventurer?

Captured heart, tangled by two steel-linked threads.

I’m an aimless, loveless venturer.

A woman who dreads to look where she treads.

I can’t trample my love, or burn bonds.

Voices so hea...

In my mind I called upon your name a thousand times, like a whisper in the wind. I can see your eyes in my dreams a sparkle of shimmering light that bounces of them. As the daylight rises your presence becomes all my body longs for yet at night fall my heart beats for another. Why must the past intervene with the future? Why must one cut ties with one lover, ...

I am torn in two

Between who I was

And who I am yet to be

Can I return to the shell of who I was

And tuck myself inside

Safe and sound before I knew I was broken

Or must I reveal the cracks

To unfiltered light

And put my arms elbow deep

Into new wet clay

And rebuild myself

A new temple

For a brighter, more complete soul...

I’m stuck between the two,

But this time it’s not me it’s you.

His smile, oh boy does it light up the whole sky.

He can be controlling

but I can love him with all my might.

And her.

Her laughter is a melody to my ears,

I’ve memorized her favorite songs for her.

She tries to understand you and your needs.

But alas, the world would be against me,

Even more than they are now if I had the gir...

I am a bad person.

These choices rippling out

devastating those caught in between.

I’m pulled apart in two directions,

tripping and falling with every step

grasping on substance for support,

I’m sorry,

for leaning too much,

did you break?

You’re fragile,

you can’t handle my weight,

retreating and leaving you behind,

when you run after me

(as you always do)

i’ll push you away

(as I always do),

i’...

Between him and the other…

I don’t know who to choose.

One who will forever protect me.

The one who will forever love me.

The one with the skinny set.

The shimmering brown hair.

The brown, sparkling eyes.

Willing to put up a fight.

The other, who likes to see happiness.

He won’t let you go once he’s found you.

He doesn’t stand up for himself, never.

But he’s also a fierce lover, a warrior.

Stron...

My love for him is passionate,

It is fast paced, it’s a ride.

His eyes much like the ocean,

Pull me in like the falling tide.

My love for him is understanding,

It is gentle, it is kind.

His eyes carry an intense warmth,

He always sees the brighter side.

My love for both it burns so bright,

How can I just decide.

To choose between the sea and sun,

A torrent in my mind.

No matter who it is I choose,...

Music blaring

Hot humid air

.15 blood alcohol

Flowing rolling golden locks

Your green eyes meet mine

Lost in the moment

Lost in you

I don’t dance

That night I did

Face to face

Looking

Eyes to lips

Eyes to eyes

Pulling you in by back of neck

Kissing as teenagers do

When feels all so new

Friends eyes on us

With mouths agape

For they all knew

Your boyfriend

My girlfriend...

In the realm of love's tangled web,

A woman stood, her heart in ebb.

Torn between two souls, she found,

A choice to make, her heart unbound.

One man, a flame that burned so bright,

With passion's fire, a dazzling light.

His words, like honey, used to disguise his lies

Enchanting her, captivating her mind.

She fell for his manipulation every single time.

The other, gentle, steady, true,

A love ...
