I’d like to tell you about:
the stars I’ve gazed at,
the sunsets I’ve watched,
the daisies I’ve picked
and the times you’ve made me smile

Ashleigh Feb 2020

The sun pours down

I want to leave pieces of myself
In places I’ll find
To remember the good times
And remember to smile
:D

Broken telephone

living in this house,
is a 24hr game of broken telephone
except the players whisper through me
and God I feel so alone

talking in this house,
is miscommunication galore
and I’m left here to wonder
“who am I even doing this for?”

the game we play in this house,
starts to feel like a chore
and I don’t know how to tell them
I don’t feel like playing anymore

Mourning a love that never happened

I want to
Deface
Defile
Destroy
Any trace
Any proof
Any evidence
That you crossed my mind
When I should’ve been sleeping

Clear

He makes me want to lie on my back on the grass staring into the sky for hours

Baby blue

I look through him and see the sky,
It’s grainy and blurry and frighteningly vibrant.
I look to him, brain cesses to function.
On me, is his lasting imprint.
And soon I melt, I drift and I sink.
As I am, I overthink.
And I’m left here to watch blue turn to black.
As I’m wishing on stars or wishing I could have my body back.

He’s pretty

I am in love with this infuriating thing
And I thought it’d be joy that he’d bring.
But in its place a tear falls from my eye,
As I trip and land ******* the ground where I lie.
