It's always little things that take me back to you.

A lyric in a song.
A shimmer in the snow.
A dark lonely street.
When I have to let someone go.

The darkness of my own hair,
And how it looks against your skin.
The softest of touch,
And elegant curves that reflect your grin.

The sleepless nights in this apartment.
The photos on my wall.
The pain inside my heart.
You're image is in it all.

The journals that I keep.
The drawings I recreate.
The tears that fall.
All the things I hate.

Because of you I'm forced to live.
This new found notion; "I want to be strong."
Even though you're not around to care...
Who would have thought I'd make it this long.

You say you love her,
But you can't seem to remain true.
Please remember..,
I love a lot of people, but I am in love with you.
Chaos devours me;
let's small talk and pretend that
everything's fine.
there's an ache in my heart
i tried to fix it with bad art
I've figured it out: I'm dead.
And, wow, there is a God!
One just as horrible as they said.
This is a short poem describing the realization of being in Hell, and having been sent there by an unjust God.
Jumping up
screaming
your fingernails tear
the wallpaper that was never there
walls
crumbling down
where are you now?
*You're pyschotic
Unfiltered thoughts filtered into words
Doctor Doctor!
Help me! I'm dying!
My cells are crying!

Everyone is screaming!
I can't quit bleeding, and
I need to stop breathing!
I am floating

Higher
Higher
Higher

I can only float so high
I know this

When will I crash?

Maybe this time things can change.

Let me reach a little higher
Before
I crash
Back down

Farther
Farther
Farther

Hayleigh
She melts in between my lips
With the urgency and beauty
Of snowflakes on fingertips.
