21/F I am just a simple girl from Colorado who enjoys poetry.
What is a lonely mind to do at night But to drift across snow covered streets? Evading the dull flicker of streetlights Through bushes and behind trash bins So to keep hidden from the moon As he watches from the midnight sky To be caught prompts the question “Why are you still awake?” And a lonely mind has no clear answer Because she does not know why

A Lonely Mind Desires No Company
Here I lay Naked and clean The vultures have come for me They are pecking at my feet Tearing pale flesh from my toes And exposing my bones The vultures have come for me And they won't leave me alone

Vultures
When my bones mimic my heart's fragility And my skin turns gray with age Let death hold my hand As he inhales my last dying breath With a kiss from his poison bone jaw Let death take my body But leave my memory behind

When I Die
Open the windows caked in dusty melancholy Allow the sun's strange rays through To call the skeletons from their closet homes Forcing them gone in hurried queue Wake your mind from heavy slumber Raise your weary chin Your search for absolution Is found once you let light in

Turning a New Leaf
When petals of a wilting rose are plucked Do not be surprised when all that remains Are thorns

Wilted
As he snarled at my nakedness, I could only help but wonder if his intentions were of lust or love.

Lust or Love?
Sad and lonely I am And I only have your memories A withered flower, an old letter And love pounding in my chest
