Sometimes all you can do is lie in bed
and hope to fall asleep before you fall apart,
before the memories sneak out of your eyes
and roll gently down your cheeks.

numbed cracked hands
stretch through achy hearts
with cherry red stains
and thickening scars
grey clouded halos
above ripening heads
cattle crowds march
with eyes that are dead
bedded warm blankets
all useless in sound
with harbouring thoughts
strategically bound
so here I curl crumbled
like rocks into sand
and time slowly runs
like tears through my hands

"see you around..."
The last words I spoke to you,
and I saw that look in your eyes
when you looked at me
A sad smile, a sad look,
like you were Tod
and I was Widow Tweed
A bonnie and clyde
dismantled by
something as simple
as a heartache.
And in that moment,
I felt our connection fray,
and I was no longer
grasping at threads,
trying to keep us together
like I said I always would.
I'm sorry I broke that promise,
but you broke a hundred of yours first.
I turned away away,
trying to keep myself together
Still, my heart resisted,
and I compromised,
glancing to where you were
only to see empty space.

And finally
she began to breathe.
And live.
In every moment.
In every place.
Trying to find a path
where goodbyes
were hard to come by.
And suddenly,
I was in love with life,
for the first time
in a long time
everything
was inspired.

I know you're awake right now
and i’m still up, thoughts in overdrive.
I knew I was wasting my time,
but feathered brains speak in dissonance.
I knew you were gone months ago
with the wind as it guides the clouds,
laughing with sunshine and dabbling with the dark
as careless as you know I cannot be.
I stood grounded in mud, and you
kicking up dust on your heels
as you skipped away into the moon,
and I asked aloud why you left
but the pavement didn't answer me.
Silence filled me up like a ringing in my ears,
and it tasted like blood that I meant nothing,
and so I watched you drive away
and I said nothing.

The best kind of kiss
Is one that has been exchanged
a thousand times between eyes,
before the lips have even met.

Midnight madness runs across his skin,
and glides deep within his veins as
twilight eyes watch from afar,
hollowing him from the inside out.

“I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more grey."

And she sat alone
In some filthy bar,
surrounded with smoke covered dreams,
Sweaty men
And bottomless drinks.
Aching for what she had lost,
All the time
wondering
if she was pretty enough
or smart enough-
And while she sat
she realized
That no one ever was,
and no one ever could be.

She had magnetic innocence
that pulled people to her in tides,
people with broken lives
and shawshank prisons in their heads,
people with duct taped memories
bursting against the seams.
And yet..
she still wonders why
she cries in rivers
filled with their pain
and her own.
