i'm falling apart slowly, silently
watching as pieces caress my thighs, slipping down to my toes
standing on the crushed pieces helps me to focus on the pain rather than
You.
breaking apart from top to bottom is like how the wind tears roofs off houses
my walls are still standing but I can feel them falling
my brain telling me things that don't matter, making me remember things I want to forget
repeat, repeat, repeat are memories I have with
You.
when my emotions become too heavy and it begins to rain, clearing the ground.
a clean slate is uncomfortable as it reminds me of the walls so white and sterile
I soon realize my feet are b
he said he could build her a beautiful new world
forgetting she already has
calluses and bruises on her hands
the marks from building her own universe from scratch
then watching as he makes it crumble
telling her he could do better
they said "honey all you need to do is find your other half then you can be happy."
but what they don't realize is
im already whole
i don't need someone to fill up a void in myself
with love that they think i could never pour myself
i hold the pitcher and frankly, honey, it's already empty
i look at myself with more love and appreciation than a man ever could
being told i need someone to live my life fully is degrading
because you're saying i could never be content existing by myself
careless
alone yet complete
i don't need that because in all honesty
i love being free
you say the emptiness makes you feel nauseous
so i try to anchor you down
holding
cuddling
loving
nothing you say makes the seasickness go away however
so i begin to wonder why the waves go this high,
making me believe they do this on purpose
rocking our boat
making us question the waters
i know there's dangerous things out there
but sometimes the most dangerous things come from within
washing my sheets I got rid
of the little bits of you
that were still lingering,
waiting for you to return.
the soft indent on your side of the bed
makes my head spin with
uneasiness yet I know it’s for the greater good.
I haven’t mentioned your name to anyone
and no ones mentioned mine to you.
our friends slowly
stop inviting us to places
because they finally realize
we won’t attend.
I want to tell you how I’ve got accepted to college,
the one we used to dream about,
but why would I
when we’re going in opposite directions.
you're heading for a dream,
one that you just wouldn’t share.
so
the idea hangs in your
mind like a lightbulb, so
bright yet you have not realized
it only lights up your mind.
you click it on and off at
convenient times just for you.
the walls are a bright yellow - happiness
our words are a dark red - frustration
i can almost taste the anger as
it drips unholy from my mouth
and you go to wipe it off.
i feel your hand lingering
and i go to snap my head away.
as i back away i
take in the scent of
you i used to love
but now it just smells tainted.
i wave to you to leave
and you begin to cry.
i guess this wasn’t in your plans.

Roads That Lead to Stars
honey bunny let me tell ya.
the universe is wide open
waiting to be explored just
like your heart is. desperate
to please yet desperate to
leave. never wanting to go
yet always going with the flow.
the stars roam around Earth
like they belong yet they
disappear in the Sun. The Sun
acting like a hero yet the
moon shines ever as bright.
maybe in another galaxy someones
thinking about someone just like
you. the endless possibilities but
you may never know, quite like life itself.
wondering what stars lead you where.
life is like a universe wanting to be explored
but is so endless it’ll take
all your life to enjoy.

Love Your Family, Please.
As she laid in front of her family barely alive she spoke,
"Whoever can bring me the one thing I've always wanted will get all my money."
So the greedy family members brought her makeup, and bracelets, and fine China, and cooking supplies, and anything and everything someone could ever want.
But it was everything she didn't want.
It wasn't till a few days later when the nurses heard her crying and laughing about her long-pasted husband and seen her hugging and kissing the air that they all knew.
All she wanted was to be loved.
Sometimes when you feel so alone it just makes sense to fall in love with a perfect stranger.
(yet when he looks at you he can't help but think how could he make you his only)

In the hurricane of haunted dreams
You pull the strings
Leaving behind a trail of shattered things
Charms and trinkets to some i'm sure
But my voice chokes out in my sleep
"Glue just wont do" I shriek
As i struggle to piece each shattered heart
Shattered charms lined up in a path
Leading to your new life
The newest, better slice
With a broken heart two hearts are born
And I guess I draw the short straw
I just hope the broken charms are no more
And my hurricane of broken dreams
Can break away from me
