The stars belong to both the sun And the moon Just as my heart does belong to yo… You may not see me, but I’ll be there.

Mom, I miss you, And I’m miserable. I miss grandma, And I’m so lonely. I miss being a kid.

When you taste your own sweet tear… Know I’ll be there. When the night becomes a friend, Know

That’s why she died– Because she never let anyone hold… She didn’t trust herself. She didn’t let anyone love her Or touch her

In my house, You don’t ask questions. The whispers from mom and dad Signal you to a hiding place. In my house,

My mom hates her life, And I’m too much to juggle, And my dad doesn’t support my mom, And my brother’s never home, And my medicine doesn’t work,

There’s always a morning, But there’s the night, too. Every faith has a savior, But the devil always follows suit. There will be spring,

Shambles: They hold my life together. I’m shredded into slices, Trying to hold it whole, And I wonder if anyone

In seventh grade, I made you a po… But I tore it up into pieces Because it wasn’t good enough. In eighth grade, I made you a poe… But I left it under my bed

I’ve been waiting For years And days And all the seconds For a warm body.

It’s over. It’s okay. The parting is such sorrow And relief. It hurts like a crushing force,

Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.

I live inside my head Where soft flurries spin, And there’s a rise of warm water b… I live inside my head Where spikes stick out

If flowers could cry, Would the water out-spilled Also drown them Like a sloshing grave of Wet mud?
