Taking each breath with a rope around the lifeline
Blades infract the skin to produce relief in the world we call "fine"

Her father abusive with every
        poisonous phrase
Leaving the pile of bones left to sit in a desperate daze

Leaving her lost in a cause that has yet to be found
But perfectly imperfect compacted into a love seeking hound


Searching for joy in anything left possible
Left lying helpless in a joyous yet melancholy blood pool

A figure        appears

Numb but feeling right
She turned on the rusty switch to his light

Intertwining into one mind
Tearing off the chains and shackles of the once blind

happiness now instilled
once hopeless but the heart now filled

every word spoken comes out with sincerity
making it together, opening up their vulnerabilities

I noticed you
I met you
I liked you
I saw you
Your smile
I heard you
Your laugh
I touched you
Your hands, shoulders, face
I liked you
We engaged in conversations
about our likes, and dislikes
our random thoughts
I think I could've loved you
But then you left
without warning
I met you
I liked you
I think I could've loved you
You left
And now
at 2 AM in the morning
I miss you

Do not look at me and say,
“Goodbye.”
As our bodies pass and go
through the transparency of space.
The hushing scrape of concrete
rests in such parting words.
weighing me down with doubt.
“Goodbye.”
It sounds so final
like the last exhalation in life,
or the flutter of a paper heart
mimicking a white flag.
“Goodbye.”
It’s reminiscent of loss.
Life is but
A because.
Nothing in this universe
Is without
A because.
Everything ,
From the sky
To the ground.
From a rock
To a seed.
From an ocean
To its wave.
From a beach
To a grain of sand ,
Has
A
Because.
From
Me to you.
Everything in nature ,
Lies behind
A
Because.
People tend to forget that the most insignificant things in life are blessings. Better to be with than without.
He knew.
That's all she could think about.

He knew.
And she had no clue how.

He knew.
And that a mystery profound.

He knew.
But didn't give her the runaround.

HE KNEW.
And stayed to be her wolfhound.

He knew.
This is love, no doubt.

She knew
His promise is his vow.

What has happened to my love
has she flown in circles;
a wing broke?

Where is my muse;
fire red
and skin like chalk.

Her songs singing;
out her cave of want
and freedom flight?
