It whistled as it ran
Its footsteps sank into wet ground
Wet with the blood of her tears
That fell without a sound
It ruffled the grass
And the blades danced along
Swaying to the beat of the drums
And only she can hear the song
A black umbrella, she carried
But it tried to lift away
She fought to keep it in her hands
But like her dignity, it escaped
She saw them clawing up
Their festered hands polluted the soil
But she could do nothing about it
Because no one else ever sees her turmoil
Her footsteps crushed their bones
But they had persistent hues
Hues, but not souls
And a new soul, she grew
She had too much compassion
And now has her own personal ghost
Tracing her every step
Encouraging to leave her post
He made her weak
But it was her mistake
She dug up his heart again
And make the vault of souls quake
Never again, she said
And let his heart go free
But it remained still in her hand
And she ceased to breathe

ink is running through my veins            
     your words sink into my skin            
       giving my heart an addictive dose
            words are all it ever took to win
               poetry-anything-even prose
                 every rhyme like *******
                     i swear i'll overdose

The lights are still on
Twinkling yellows and reds
God-I should be in bed
Maybe I should shut them off
Maybe that would silence my head
So far nothing works
Nothing drowns out the white noise
Simply never has
Music reminds me of you
And most songs make me sad
I can't find the words today
You grew them all like greenery
Always were good at that
Making me question my feelings
Where's the freedom in that?
I need to sleep
But all I can see is blue, blue, blue,
Maybe I'm going insane
Do I want to go through this again?
Because before I played a losing game
But could things be different
Everything is construction orange
Am I seeing things?
There's caution tape on all our hearts
Wondering if love is something we could bring

Perfect words
&
Perfect letters
Nothing more
&
Nothing less
Perfection expected
Perfection gone
Exploding inside
&
Shaking hands
I can't be perfect
No matter how hard I try
What even is perfect anymore?
High prices shoes
&
Gaps between thighs
Because all I have is
A sick feeling in my stomach
&
Self told lies

i wrote your name in the sand
pebbles embedding themselves in my feet
the water comes to eat it away
oh, this is how the ocean loves
the foam lapped at my paint chipped toes
buried like shells in the sand
washing away all my tears
oh, this is how the ocean loves
my footprints sank into wet sand
rocks drawing pinpricks of blood
leaving behind all my regret
oh, this is how the ocean loves
i dove into the waves
turning my head to the downpour
keeping my head above water
oh, this is how the ocean loves
i watched the sun
i watched the moon
glistening on star-kissed waters
oh, this is how the ocean loves
