And ( shhh )
I believe that if you are
very quiet
and still
and still believing
in stars

That you will hear
an empty memory,
a soft song
far away

from the sea.

Literature

Blind

Her heart is glass, you can see through it to the other side, you can see all her sadness, her reasons for crying tears like diamonds. You can see why she is quiet, why she claws her skin, why she screams at night, in the thick darkness. You can feel her heart shattering in your hands, cutting your palms as you look the other way.

.

we were inhaling our disguises from the cigarette we shared, my hand around your waist a way to pull away the layers and blur through my rough edges where your soft soul had been snagged, the night that every sound we made had seemed to matter, these are the dreams that fogged the windows and we dared not call it love (out loud.) I didn’t stay but you should know that you were glowing when I first saw you, and I hardly deserve credit for the shine it seems I've stolen, although I-promised- not-to-promise anything, our actions brushed and painted

cauterized

cutting you from my heart is like laying my hands among glowing coals until my fingers blacken and curl but I can do this if it's the only way to let you go

Literature

it is as if you are here.

short words mean heartbeats when you arent. and you are bloodpressure, whether you like it or not. next to red blood cells you backcrawl through the trees, finding yourself eating leaves near my coeur. im not a sad girl until you swim, until you cycle over hills, under hells to get me closer. i make myself think about anything but airplanebridges, oceans, the number fourteen, parents and priests just incase you come back. i fall in love with you again, everytime i hear you say button or love or sigh, or pick up your bike and ride 60 miles west, to see new faces. sometimes She is stutterfilled, sometimes She is waterfal

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

Poetry and Writing

Literature

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

Literature

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

you.

I'd say you remind me of a flower but to do so would be an injustice when I pick flowers, they die- you've only shown me how to live.

Literature

Je t'aime

There is firewood where my bones should be, and wires in my veins pumping electricity and everytime we talk my heart heats up and I've never felt a flame this warm.

Literature

first kiss

I will be the rolling waves, and you can be the sandy shore I'll kiss with salty lips, and then keep coming back for more
