(2014)
That's all
It’s a partly cloudy but terribly cold day. I’m running late for school and still have to scrape my truck windows of ice. I finally get there about five, maybe ten, minutes late to my U...
“Can you breathe?” the air is asking, as smoke fills my lungs. I am crouched under a leaf, the tears streaming down my face
This morning, I was so happy. Clean and ready to work. I thought you would care. Care enough to clean me,
Flowers bloom. Seasons change. Petals fall. Nothing’s the same. It’s been a while
Trailing kisses, hands on my back, hold me close and I can’t breathe. Perfect romance, my heart beats fast,
center When I’m with you, I have no worries, but then I don’t see you, don’t talk talk to you,
Waking up in darkness, the moon shining through my window… With tear filled eyes I sit up and remember what I was dreaming. His smiling face shining.
center Two years ago, I lost my brother, my friend. Although he wasn’t perfect,
Sister I love you, but only because I have to. That’s what momma told me, when I said I hate you. I hate the way you smile,
Dear Man, I’m not going to pretend that I u… Pretend that everything is alright… It’s not. I’m hurt.
Lord, Things are unbearable. I have been shouting. I have been crying. Hoping you would listen.
You have two choices in life; feed the fire, or, let it die. Be it passion,
Joy, light, happy moments, big smiles, comforting arms,
Exhausted, Drained, I have nothing left. No more strength to fight against… I’m sinking.
I walk around, feeling whispers. Avoiding the eyes that prosecute m… The stares. The glares.
