Where did they go?
Little girls,
They grew up and became clones.

Never a smile or a laugh when it's me talking.
You move when I come near.
Are we the same pole of the magnet?
My eyes can never leave you for long,
Yet yours are trained to anywhere else,
And they never meet.

1/28/16

I thought I wanted you,
Hoped and prayed you'd be mine,
But I can't understand why,
If given the matches,
I would burn the bridge.

2/7/16

Your arm is always there
To snake around me
And when I am weak,
Even when can't stand it
I want to fall back on you.
I want to thrash against it
Want to scream, cry, fight,
But my fist is only caught by shards of mirror glass.

2/7/16

You can make the move,
You can raise the stakes,
You can give your poker face,
You can call check mate,
You can devise the strategy any way you like,
I know it will be perfect with that clever mind of yours.
You can do whatever you like,
You can laugh a victor's laugh,
But I've folded,
And we've lost.

Here is another something
About nothing
Or everything
To you it is nothing
Of course because I've never told you
Or even put the thoughts together to make a coherent sentence.
So this is nothing
But it is everything.

12/21/15

Don't worry about me,
Or maybe you should,
I'm lost and terrified,
But isn't everyone else?
Don't worry about me
Because I won't try to leave
As long as you're by my side.

11/24/15

Too many sweets,
I need substance.
I tell myself the candy is good for me,
But I've known all along it isn't.
I feel strong, but
It's hard to swallow
The truth.

12/9/15

I keep music loud to silence voices caught on repeat.
And I can't see with all these colors flashing in front of me.
They keep me awake with their constant cries for attention
Fantasy and reality mix together far too easily
A past life tugs at my mind
Telling me how to live the one ahead of me.

12/19/15

Just when I think I've learned it all
Something comes and blows my mind
By the time I have picked up the scattered pieces of my brain,
You've already shot me again.
