that wasn't a sunrise dear,
you set seven candles alight

and let your mind convince
you that you'd escaped the night

now you're choking on the smoke
and melting down with the wax

enough futile games, silly one,
it's time to come back.

i could find some more candles but i'm out of matches- and I am tired of the dark.

last try

even though my kettle was empty,
rusted, battered and broken
I tried to pour you my
best cup of tea

it was cold, yes, but it was all I had-
you didn't have to throw it away.

i wish i'd just left 3 months ago.

waiting on a broken clock

it's okay that
time is cruel but
my mind is worse.

i could handle this waiting if I was somewhere else.
anywhere but here.

insomnia

i’m grateful for the nights
i can’t sleep
for the time i get to spend
with the stars—
none of us knowing
why we have to exist
in the dark,
but choosing to shine anyway

4am and counting

i'll probably dream of you

at this point I'm sure
my cheeks are begging
my smile to go away

but this sore face is worth it

I haven't felt this way in a very long time.
I feel...happy, tonight :)

stranger again

familiar blue skies
shy behind clouds

my wave to the trees
was not returned

for the breeze held
it's breath in shock

they had not seen me for a while

haven't been on my roof much lately...something seems a bit unfamiliar about it
