Shock. That is what spring left you on your doorstep. So what was summer to you? Hell. Fall had you crying tears of rage and pooling your pain, And winter brought you crazed grief and melted snow. Then it was spring again. And hope And love And forgiveness, almost - (couldn’t forgive him, no matter how hard you tried) But no, there was no happiness. Not yet. There wasn’t an end to it....

Moments - Aug. 21st, 2011
It’s so strange to be sitting here looking back on everything. So tell me, what do I do when I’m faced with a choice to make And the only answers lead to more hurt?

Let me wither away, turn to dust through the...

Your sternum rises and falls, caved in by the weight of failure - Homages to a violated heart depleting itself of blood. The bones in your wrists grow more prominent by the day, and I wonder just how far you’ll go before you waste away.

Friendship.
Hey. I wanted to fall into friendship way too fast To be able to walk under the same umbrella, Go to the store to buy souring milk with you, And argue over who was paying for it. I wanted to shop at different thrift stores Ponder antiques and bargains, cross over Cobblestones and arrive home, out of breath, Safe and sound, while the rain slows down. I wanted to take your hand and run Run as far...
