-
We held each other so tightly
crossing countries, forging new paths
-
You're on your way
to her tangerine-scented skin
-
There's a day you whisper
a terrible oath to your heart;
-
The way glass shatters
how mosaics form
-
Every morn
dawn escapes me
-
i love
how you scrunch your face when eating ice cream

-The car crash happened just down the street, / while you were in the basement, unawares; / Your sister fell out of the tree in the back yard, / while you were upstairs, oblivious; / He decided he didn't lov

I could tell you of my sunburned skin, / or the music I'm listening to or / how my sister fell out of a tree, but / your heart is broken- / and these are not words / you need to hear. / My heart, too, has be

Your eyes were sad, that day- / like butterlies caught in the rain. / It's always hidden by the second glance. / Will there ever be a day w

I live by your house, / Only two or three doors down- / We are of the same age, / About five months difference- / We have some mutual friends, / Even a few shared 'enemies'- / We are similar, / But You & I

If you saw the affinity I have simply for your eyes, / the flush of bewilderment on my cheeks- / If you tasted the sorrow I do when you leave, / the insatiable thirst for your trust- / If you felt the intric

She cries because she is old-- / I, because I am young. / We are decades apart, / but our tears / are not so different.
-
Tired eyes are burning, / But she's still discerning- / Hours go by and by, / And still she wonders why- / The night is so familiar and close / And why it's worst though needed most.
-
In these seasons of Sundays, / you live to live / on precious pieces of winged serenity- / A complicated simplicity. / Leave the rusted remnants of today, / soaking up the animosity. / As petals of innocence

You seem to have a knack / for waltzing across the room, / royal, even in all your armor. / Your green eyes shine like jewels; / underneath, / your heart like ice, / &n

"Their time together might be as fleeting as a shadow, or as short as a dream, lasting only as long as it takes a lightning bolt to flash across the sky." / Our love was quick- / Strong- / Passionate- / We l

Finally, she let it happen- / Her promises melted away. / Love faded over the months- / It proved that it was not only she. / Cupid breaks his promises all the time.

She watches / him sleeping next to her / Her lips and heart still hurt- / Tears spring to her eyes as she realizes / Even after all, / she adores this horrible and unfaithful man.
-
She fiddles with each lily, / She's made friends with each rose. / She tenderly brushes the tips / of her fingers on the silky petals- / Carefully shuffling and shifting / to create complicated, breathtaking

As you fervently sketch, / Your eyes are so concentrated and intent- / Eyelids come closer together for clarity. / Avidly directing your be

My nameless grievance- / Your radiant foresight. / You hit me squarely, / pelting me with your intrigues- / You never had any appreciation, / as cold and uncaring as a sentinel. / It's been rumored- / y

Our silly elementary love- / We had our share of swings, / Slides & falls / Giggling & white lies- / We must have been children / Thinking our playground romance could last.

The second anniversary of your death / is tomorrow. / It's mind-blowing- / That you've been gone for so long / It's still fresh in my heart. / I'm still startled / when I hear your voice / on the ans

She's living in beautiful lies of devotion, / but it's time to take a breath & softly say goodbye / to all her built-up illisions / & make peace with the truth of the present. / "I'm not who you think I am-

What is real? / Her heavily mascared eyelashes- / No, no they are not real. / But the scars on her wrists / are as real as can get. / The tears that stain the pillow- / Behind the layers of mask she puts on,

You do not have to be perfect. / You do not even have to be beautiful- / Just be yourself, / with your well-worn pride / and unwashed hair. / / You do not have to be perfect. / You do not even have to be the b
