things fall apart
I never told myself to quit; and no one else did either so I never bothered. Taking a lighter, a flame blows out. My shaky hands seem to struggle when trying to reach the tip. The door is open a crack, but blows open from the smoke that consumes the room. I look out the window, finding another scene that I envy. A mother and a daughter getting out of their car with a handful of groceries. Two boys playing catch in their driveway. A boy being taught how to ride his bike by his father. And a bunch of teenagers hysterically laughing at something on one of their phones. It's those little things that make me lock myself in my house—or should I say my stepmother's. Without thinking, I drop my cigarette on the sheets that light my eyes with fire.

leave the door open
it was the month of december the night of which there was snow do you remember? it was the night before you let me go we left before the play ended for it began to get even colder and that was when I realized you pretended but I held it in and rested my head on your shoulder

a memory
tonight we were rushed between the ways of the wind we settled apart

upright - a haiku
do you want to hear my screams? beneath the ground where i was nothing and no one could hear do you want to feel my bones? beneath my grave where i was buried and left behind do you want to smell my tears? beneath my sorrows where i was battered and bruised till none other than words could hurt me do you want to see me?

her
eyes were bloodshot nose was bleeding blue mouth was torn and throat was dry but slit clean we looked yonder saw creatures that didn't belong but our shoulders shrugged our knees loosened and we forever lost our words i never listened to the sounds from over there but i should've but i should've
