24/F/USA Impromptu writings via yours truly; sharing and venting one word at a time
Hit your mid-life crisis just before 25 Late night drives, full speed pedals, getting high Don't even need to study if you can keep coasting by You promise me the world but then you hate it when I cry Tell me you love me and keep breaking my heart Say it ends, take a break, and come back right to the start If we're both red flags why does it hurt to be apart? I'm always the artist, and I will never be the art I think that we're ending, I think that its ending I'm calling it now, so do you wanna place bets? I think its ending, I hope its not ending I'm heads, you're tails - I'll raise you 25 cents

Halftime
I am cursed with the affliction of kindness. And I will haunt this earth until I have seen the end of all things beautiful. I prepare my epitaph, so that I may visit my own grave— and mourn every piece of myself that I changed. Perhaps this is all I was meant for— to love until I disappear.

Still Here
You loved every inch - My scars, marks, and bruises. I carried a part of you, for a time... And you held me as I bled out on the bed. You told me I was beautiful. You cradled my face, and kissed me when I cried. Your hands made me feel I was worthy. When you knelt before me, I was.

You
I have your voicemails on repeat, To hear you say “I love you” again. You said that you loved me, and I believed you. You tell me you’re excited to see me. You tell me how much you miss me, How you’re leaving Thursday night free for a date. Did you know then, that you’d leave me behind? Because your voice still sounds like it’s mine.

We’ll Talk Soon
Sometimes her skeleton doesn’t sit right Before the sunrise and since midnight The room filled with haze, her chest is too tight And with every yawn, eyes open in spite

Also insomnia
I’ll take this panic attack And drive her car right off the road Off the bridge, that sinking feeling About to sleep and not explode

Insomniac Nights
I burn my hands washing dishes at home. Alone, it is lukewarm, cold at best -- So I will eat cake until I am sick.

Birthday
Stagnant water sits still in a silent spring How suffocating

solitude
Leave my heart in the fall And my head in the spring Let me sink in the earth Till I’m part of everything

Vermont Dreams
I am dressed in a gown A blue paper gown With the ribbons tied at the front A crepe paper gown Open at the front The kind you scrunch and fist into gift bags Crepe paper, but thicker, like asking the deli man for a bigger slice But the white deli paper is folded over my lap A big paper towel, a napkin
