and i'm glad

i saw you smiling as you went your way around me. it made me want to ask you what the joke was and it made me want to smile, too. i hope that you're happy, hope you're safe. hope you're well. i hope that these days leave you feeling quite swell; hope that innocent love of yours never wears thin. and i hope you never forget me or the part of me that me that remains under your skin (never to be brought to the surface again) i hope you live your life laughing, not dying from within. most of all, i want you to know that though i miss you, i am happy to see you this way yes, for whatever that may count for, for whatever we may count for, plea

help her smile

I sense the distance between us it seems my problems are our weakness and although our love is endless tough love is friendless your distracted and you’ll miss it so inverted when the kiss hit and so my love was monotonic cause my patience has exploded if it’s a crush then ill twist it corroded love is so insistent and I am just a service little stars filled with courage but this isn’t, its explicit in an instant its persistent, but I won’t bother you I’m a coward or I wish you’d choose.. empowered but I’m missing too.. Love of my life, I’d recite a rhyme whether its korny or off-time exclusivel

Falling. Like everybody else.

Falling. You can fall off a building, a mountain...or you can fall in a hole. And at some point, everybody falls in there. Let me explain... "D'you remember last summer? I was too busy packing my stuff, to listen to the little, 9 year-old girl beside me. "Uh-huh" "And when you fell in that hole?" I stopped. "Are you going to call me Alice again?" The White Rabbit wasn't exactly what I found there. She giggled and sat next to my suitcase, which looked like some bomb exploded in it and all the clothes flew outside. On the bed, on the floor, chair, drawers and wardrobe. When I heard her, my mind sent back to me memories I

All I Want

All I want is you. Nothing can compare To the love you give me; The passion in your stare. You are in my mind As if engraved there. I cannot escape you Even if I dare. The expanse of your shoulders; The strength in your arms; Ready to hold me tight And save me from harm. The strength of your jaw And the curl of your lips, Is all I want to feel Every time we kiss. What I never will forget For it is engraved upon my mind, Is the love in your heart For it is always kind.

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

i like to think you think of me

you didn’t come to the airport. i didn’t send the postcard. these are small defeats. easy to swallow, easy to look back at, to pinpoint what we could have done differently, things that would have yielded a different outcome. vary the variables, reset the experiment— you didn’t get me flowers. i didn’t remember your birthday. paper cuts, not amputations. too insignificant to be remembered past the day they happened. blame is a tricky thing. hard to hold in your hands. the first time you take cough medicine that hasn’t been sweetened. a bone that breaks and heals crooked. a load heavy enough that holding i

an open letter to my twelve year old self

one day you will cut all your hair off, and hang up a map of the world in your room and you will look at it on days you think your life is going nowhere. i hate to tell you this, but this isn’t your worst year. it also isn’t your best. one day you will cut all your hair off and realize that some poems need to be read out loud, to an audience, so you’ll take a hammer and some nails and build yourself one out of a girl whose veins look fragile but whose bones are strong, a boy who isn’t as tall as he thinks he is, but whose lifelines are the deepest you’ve ever seen, and a girl whose eyes remind you of the east
