He didn’t respond for five hours on the Fourth of July
It was warm
I was tired
Cell phone rested on my thigh
And I sat
And I waited
Another hour passed by
He was mad
Or maybe his phone was dead
Or he was with that girl,
Autumn,
He said she was giving him the eye
So I picked up my phone
And sent a message that read,
“Hey baby,
I miss you,
So, can you please reply?”
He was my world
My everything
The who made me sigh
As I listened to silly love songs
He made me want to try
To spend each moment
Speaking not from my mind
But from my heart to his
Two more hours went by
His soul with mine
Intertwined
It was dark now
Cool
Into a chair I reclined
And I sent another text
“Hi, hope your day is going well
Text me whenever,
I’m getting by.”
I missed the moment when
My brother managed to embarrass himself
Yet again
And why it was so funny
I’ll never know
Because on the phone remained my eyes
Another mindless hour went by
And finally
The phone’s ringtone chimed
But I didn’t pick it up
Let alone waste my time
With someone who made me feel so confined
I felt the wind brush against me
Smelled fresh, crisp, summer air
And I spent the night
Sitting in the grass
Watching the stars
As they danced and conversed as the fireworks burst
And I realized
I could love myself

He found salvation
and then proceeded
to pull its trigger

It's 3:00 am
I am cold
and from 2,000 miles away
he warms my heart

You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay
I should speak what’s on my mind
And yet you censor what I say
Conformists following their set way
Unabashedly blind
You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay
Thoughts leaping through my head like a ballet
In an elaborate design
And yet you censor what I say
Follow the script “Hello” “Good day”
Nothing new and all will be fine
You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay
My words are clay
Moldable, unconfined
And yet you censor what I say
This world goes by in shades of gray
My rainbow is maligned
You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay
A̶n̶d̶ ̶y̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶

Red Red
blood poppies
splatters the ground blanket the ground
on a cold on a calm
Orange Orange
autumn day autumn day
a bitter, biting wind a cool, rousing breeze
meets the meets the
Yellow Yellow
piercing sun warming sun
beating down shining down
on dead, littered bodies on thriving, vibrant flora
skin turning emerging from
Green Green
decay grass
an ugly scene a brilliant display
of man's loss of nature's victory
Blue Blue
uniforms sky
war-torn, battered endless, infinite
hidden retires
by the to the
Purple Purple
night night

Your smile
Pierces my eyes
Creeps through my head
And reaches my lips

I felt it
twist around me
tighter
and
tighter
tears poured
blood slowed
and you stared
with that sly smile
you do so well
tighter
and
tighter
gasping for air
your teeth bared
the snake ensnared
tighter
and
tighter
hands
limp
heart
stopped
and you had the nerve
to look right into my lifeless eyes
and ask,
"is everything ok?"

I'm kept up at night
Thinking about you
And I wonder if thinking of me
Makes you restless too
