I wish everyday for the breeze of an Autumn morning
The light chill that kisses goosebumps along my legs and arms
I wish for a golden leaf to fall into my hair as I walk along the pavement
For the sun to shine through the shy, soft clouds
I wish for a warm cup of cocoa on a November sunset
And the soft fuzz of my cat’s tail brushing against my leg as she purrs onto my hot skin
I wish to curl up beside the fireplace with a good book
And dream into the nothingness of tomorrow
I wish to blast the smell of lavender around me with the click of a lighter
And fall into the wonderful scents of the future
I will gaze out the window as I watch the leaves fall
As the smell of warm heat surrounds me
A book in my lap, my cat by my side
I will fall into a frenzy of chapped lips and soft blankets
Some people wish for a lover or a laptop
But all I want is the breeze of an Autumn morning
I just love Autumn

i thought i had you
so much so that i assumed
i would be lost without you
but i never had you
and now
i can't tell if i'm lost
or if i could ever be lost
when i was never home
in the first place

i wish you would've said something

love has left me afraid
barbed wire voices lined with poison lies
nights invested in neglect
realizing monsters are only scared of
apologies
i was happy
for a day

the nights alone
and the days with you
are starting to
blend together
i'm trying to find the line
between getting lost in
my mind
and getting lost in
your babbling
i could listen to you
for hours but
can't stand ten minutes
with myself
you make me so happy
and i want to die

chewing on barbed wire
falling up the stairs
running out of milk before cereal
wet shoelaces
my dead car battery
spiders in the bed

my life,
twenty years bearing
my heart to those who
would repudiate
me as soon as
the chance
surfaced
i wonder if you think
of me
and then i stop wondering
about you
i can no longer love anyone
else more than i
love myself

i'm afraid of being
burned alive
i'm afraid of eating
something poisonous
i'm afraid of the dark
and what i can't
see in it
i'm afraid of the light
and the people i've
met under it
i do not live in fear
but fear lives
in me
i am not entirely
in control
but that's not to
say anyone else is
