hurt (Remove filter)
Changed directions
I want to see your face
I want to bore into your eyes
I want you to make me twirl
but I think it's too late
Why did it feel like the last dance
that I'd get before you vanish into the oasis?
Did you have to give up so soon?
I was just getting used to being
someone you called
You asked me why I didn't
take off my mask
I laughed and said that it's become a part of me
only I knew t...

This One Is For Every Friendship Lost
It’s hard to look at pictures of me from high school
You’re in all of the stories
The prom after-party, beside me in chorus
And now we don’t speak.
But if you called
I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the phone
Drive anywhere you needed me
But we don’t need each other anymore, do we?
You could say that I missed too much
You and he are no longer together
You were so many ...

Paper cuts
Cuts from pristine crisp yellow pages
leading to a moonlit night
beside the waves
with the onomatopoeia of the lapping waters
against your feet
and the warmth from the
fire beside
Cuts from letters
not pronouncing love
but charges for services with “friendly reminder” written in red
and an occasional congratulations
and seasonal “vote for me”s

Hell with Love
I wish I could hate you,
But I can't.
I wish I could forget you,
But I can't.
If I have a choice between love and death,
I would have chosen death for sure.
But I can't.
Love is so stupid,
That it hurts
Making me so frustrated,
That it hurts
Amplifying the feeling of loneliness,
That it hurts
Can't even express all this in your face
It hurts.

Chains of Capture
Chains of Capture
Deepest darkest nightmares
But only if you knew
The lengths that I have taken
To hide away the truth
The scars are slowly fading
But the pain runs deep inside
Some say that I'm outspoken
But they don’t see the things I hide
The questions left unanswered
Constantly running through my head
The ‘what if’s’ again resurfaced
That I’d thought I’d put to bed
My demons is ...

JIGSAW
Brunette. Blonde
Black. Grey
I am auburn.
Hazel. Green
Brown. Blue
I am Grey.
Tabs, blanks
Pockets, sockets
Corners, middles
I am unique.
Flat pieces; four points
Innies and lock
The back
always Grey
Without me, you are not complete
With me, we are replete
A needle in the haystack
melancholic morning
