My spirit is locked away in a dusty corner.
The metal bars are painted gold.
My finite form is shaped like a star.
A smile of confinement.
sadness, sad, heartbreak, spiritual, loneliness, smile, helpless, dark

and when you said
laughter is like a foreign language
i imagined that i was
teaching you how to
speak it
jcl. you said you don’t laugh much just in general, but i sat with you for two and a half hours and that’s all we did. i’ve missed this. i’ve missed you.

If only this was guaranteed,
And everyone would get a happy ending,
Then maybe everything could be easier.
But I don't know what will happen,
Or if it will work out between anyone.
So I'm taking it day by day,
And thinking about you night after night.

pretty girl,
beware,
the boys are out to get you
they'll take away your flower
they want what's only yours

pretty girl,
blossom slowly,
stay in your cocoon for now
for summer can only last so long
and soon it will be over

Shadows are impersonations.
They move around
In the sneakiest of ways.
Lurking and inching and cheating.
Trying to escape the mirror.
The darkness died when the hero won.
It didn’t.
It just followed them, lurking to get back.
The core is darker of the fake.
They’re dark,
because they tell them of the time gone by.
In monochrome,
the color died, it lives in the real world now.
I don’t have a shadow.
I am one.

Find solace 'neath shaded tent
Cool rain on warm kiss

And I'm looking at this polaroid,
With all my conflict at heart.
I do not think you are good for me,
I do not think this will end well.
Yet I imagine myself at your fingertips.
The way you laugh as twilight fades,
And I know that even if I see the outcome.
I am powerless to stop the process.

but darling,
you don’t need anyone
who read your poems
like a simple word
every time you write is a step to throw the excess baggage’s in your heart.
