Your cold touch
Makes me shiver
But the love it holds
Keeps me alive

a shadow

i'm a ghost barely existing present but not really a shadow of a person quiet and discrete not rocking the boat not standing out always avoiding the spotlight a mere afterthought a background character in everyone's stories with no role to play and i like it that way

I Want to Write You a Poem

I want to write you A nice little poem, Something to tell you How I've felt about you, How much you Clutter my mind With your laugh And your smile And everything you do. I want to write you Something romantic, Something sweet, Something to make you Fall in love with me, Something to make you See your real worth, Something to show you How much you mean to me. Somehow, the words Get lost in my heart, Taking up space, While I'm too afraid To empty them before you; Let you see me bare And broken, with nothing To hold onto but a hope That you'll fix me.

You Are

I am the moon, And you are the sun, I pale in comparison to you. I am a student, And you are a professor. I cant keep up with you. I am a snowflake, And you are a blizzard, I will never be like you. I am a tree, And you are a fire, You can destroy me easily. I am a star, And you are the universe. You are simply my everything.

after the party.

He's drunk in the backseat. "Anna. Anna. Anna," he moans, as if my name is a broken record his throat can't stop scratching; his voice is nettles and thorns, every natural prick and annoyance. My knuckles go white on the wheel. Ryan's riding shotgun and he won't look at me. "If you need me to drive him home, I can do it," he offers sheepishly. I don't answer, just press my foot to the gas and let the engine's rusty roar engulf John's voice. I peek in the rearview mirror. John's laying across the seat like a dead trout, and I can tell Ryan hasn't even bothered to buckle his seat belt. There's a photo album in John's arms that he clings to w

Exit, Stage Left

"You're lonely," he said. Thelma jumped, startled. She might not have even heard his voice over the thumping dance music, but it was just at that moment where there was a temporary lull between songs. He stood nearby, his head slightly tilted. Thelma glanced behind her, his words ricocheting in her mind - she wasn't sure what was more surprising, what he'd said or that he'd noticed and bothered to relay this observation to her at all. He was good-looking, tall and thin with artfully spiky hair, but something about him struck her as unsettling. Perhaps it was the way he spoke, or that his eyes were oddly piercing, but either way she felt hers

Rose and Iris

They loved their garden; Mother and Daughter would spend Hours in the sun. Behind their house was Green dotted with red, yellow, Pink and countless more. Mother loved roses; Daughter preferred irises. They planted with care. They watched the sun rise While blowing dandelions, And mimicked at dusk. Their birdbaths brought in Winged visitors who were Greeted with bird seed. All meals were eaten On a polka-dot blanket; Nothing but home-cooked. Catching butterflies, Looking for funny-shaped clouds, Climbing the oak tree. They ran, danced and sang, Never tiring of their Love for each other. Daughter did not think That her

Where the Sun and Moon Meet

Title: Where the Sun and Moon Meet Fandom: None Character: None Genre: Angst, letting go Warnings: Suicide trigger (attempted) There is a street in front of me. Cars speed past me on their way to the festival that is just across the road. If I time myself right, I can walk into oncoming traffic… and see my brother again. I can give him these years back. I don’t want them; they aren’t mine. I take a small step forward, and then shuffle across the cement until I am standing in the middle of the road, waiting for a car. As one approaches, I wonder what will happen. Will th

true love is slow to anger.

Her grace was an enigma, a fog. Leaving him completely lost when it came to how and who she was. And yet, she adored him. This woman, whom left him completely dumbfounded, stars in his eyes and all. This woman— Loved him. He pressed his fingers to his lips and mouthed the words, just so he could feel them against his skin. ‘she loves me’ ‘she loves me’ --loves me --loves me Love. Drives everyone, whether it be for good or ill. The love he and this woman shared was a good love. A true love. ‘my dear,’ she whispers, touching his cheek. ‘my love for you burns brighter than the sun.&#

i hear the thunder rolling in

sweet smell of cut grass floating through the window, soft sound of cars passing by and distant music pumping through speakers strong and quick, the backbone of the wind, carrying voices and laughter from three floors down; and i can't see it but i imagine the way the world is turning, churning, people moving like ants - so insignificant but so significant to me, a nail in the coffin of the universe and the a holy grail of what is yet to come. hot tea and beeping microwaves frame the day and soft blankets whisper gently over bedsheets, sleep-time now, phones down eyes closed, take a moment to lose yourself in the beauty of the day (sun

what does it feel like to be sober at a party?

sometimes you want to spit out your teeth because you’ve been grinding them so hard under a diaphanous coating of crimson lipstick; but you know the floors already freckled with confetti- aluminum and glass and paper- and the eburnean pearls tucked away in your mouth are not able to be recycled and sometimes it’s rivulets on the back of your neck, droplets dripping like honey, because the rooms heating up from people swarming like bees; as your cheeks burgeon like crimson roses your oversized sweater becomes your only source of safety- maybe from the constant touch of others, as they bump around like lost passengers at a train

you're never hopeless

you tell me you feel hopeless as you talk with tired eyes- the sky drips with black pen ink poured on crystal cosmic lights your eyes become black vacuums- your words turn to somber sighs, and I ask you: on the darkest of nights, have you ever seen a starless sky?

Darling, Don't You Dare

To the girl who skips dinner, Because her reflection hurts more than Starving. To the boy who wears sweatshirts On hot summer days, Because he doesn’t want his mother to cry over his Scars. To the boy who weeps uncontrollably Until he falls asleep, Because it’s the only way to escape into his Dreams. To the girl who spends her days in her bedroom, Because the dark is more peaceful than her Mind. To the child who gets angry, Because no one understands. To the teens who self-harm, To the ones in recovery, To the ones that just can’t do it anymore… Stay Strong. For the girl who skips meals And the boy who wears sw
