Flying High

You and I,

We’ve got it good,

Flying high,

Cruising through life.


Side by side,

Through life we fly,

But little did we know,

It was all a lie.


The light is fake,

The darkness is real,

But that is a truth

Life refused to reveal.


Until it was too late,

The darkness

Revealed our fate

To be one of lies and pain.


We think we’re flying high,

But it’s all a fucking lie,

Then suddenly…

It’s over....

Hilarious

I’m sorry I keep bringing it up

Keep making jokes about it

But how am I supposed to handle it otherwise

Saying “ haha yeah he said he wanted to sexually assault me” is easier than asking for help

Saying “ He would never” is better than admitting to myself he might have

I don’t even remember that night

It’s all blurry

I remember saying yes

Your hands in my hair, my lips on yours

I remember you lif...

No More Tomorrows

My husband John is a good man and a good provider. Loves me and our 2 children.

He came home from work at 5 pm as usual.Dinner was almost ready. He’s playing with the kids in the living room,while listening to the baseball game. Dinner is ready, I called out. John calls for the children to sit down. It’s time to eat, John replied.

All of a sudden, I heard a loud crashing noise. It was coming fro...

She

The walls around my heart,

they pound and pound and murmur.

They beat, trill, screech, scream-

they wobble, but they do not fall.


On the other side of the walls

awaits an opponent of skill.


She’s orange and thin,

she’s the most terrifying;

she ruptures organs, breaks skin,

but she never touches a thing.


She invades my mind,

while she overtakes my heart,

and I just let it happen.


She whispers i...

an attack & an awakening

My breath hitches

And suddenly I’m wheezing

Can’t seem to catch my breath

No one even seems to notice


I newer is racing

Tears ruching down my cheeks

It feels like I’m dying

Death seems better than this, save me please!


My knees shake,

And my heat pounds,

I start to loose my footing

Loose all hope of solid ground


The world is falling

From right underneath my feet

All sene of normalcy

Is being s...

Letting You Go

Every day I think you love me a little less

You say your love is unconditional

But I know it must be taking a toll

The late nights

Stupid fights

The crying…

Our love is dying



You’re at the end of a rope

Pulling me up

But the rope is fraying

Your trying

Trying

Trying

But the weight that sits on my chest

Is too heavy


It’s not you

It’s not you

It’s not you

It’s me

And god I love you

And you’re ev...

The End

I’m walking home

Groceries in hand

It’s dark outside

Hard to see

The street lights flicker

Visibility dims

I come to a road

Start to cross

A car comes fast

Then suddenly… it’s over...

At First

We knew the storms were coming

We didn’t think it would be this bad


As first it was the gentle gusts

That turned into rocking winds


At first it was little ripples in the water

That turned into mountainous waves


At first we had a captain

Who was thrown overboard by the storm


At first we had a boat

Now it is at the bottom of the sea


At first we had a crew

Who is now missing


At first I almos...

I Want To Be Them

I dream about what it’d be like

To be the girl in my books


To be the girl that the boys fall in love with

The ones they kiss in the rain

The ones that joke with

The ones they give cute gestures


I want their love monologues

I want their silly banter

I want their friendship


I don’t want boys who text me all day long

I don’t want boys who deny they’re love for me

I don’t want boys who don’t ca...
