your words hurt me,
your actions break me.

i'm not your friend.
for ***** sake,
i'm not your friend.

you hurt me.
and i'm sorry i cannot
talk to you.

it hurts me
to imagine hurting you.
so i'll stay quiet.
because apparently that's
what i'm best at (remember?)

but my god,
i'm not your *******
friend.

so leave me alone.
yeah

upon twilight she walks,
small jar in hand.
while moon rises in sky,
she prepares her routine.


stars play about
in the moon lit night.
twinkling overhead,
welcoming her presence.


she climbs the ladder
to the twinkling night sky.
her fiftieth day of catching
the beautiful stars.


her eyes twinkled
along with the stars
as they approached her
their glimmer golden.


the stars let her breathe,
filling her life with light
and in her little glass jar
were stars ready to land.


she was the star girl,
the princess of the night.
she caught the stars,
and the stars smiled.


stars in her hair,
in her jar and her soul
brought her to life
every gorgeous night.


but one shadowed night,
the sky had no stars.
on her ladder to space,
the little girl stared.


all the stars - gone!
where could they be?
star girl’s life was slipping,
her breaths shortening.


she was falling down,
falling through the sky,
all the stars were gone,
and her jar was empty.
collab poem i did with my friend. she's also on here!

i want to sing my sorrows away
and sweep myself off the ground
to go soaring through this rainy sky.

you're in my way, and you're
crying your sorrows away.
but your crying never stops.

my singing doesn't stop either,
but i feel better.

you don't feel better,
and you keep crying your
sorrows away, while i am still here
singing, my sorrows long gone.

i have goosebumps
from watching you paint
the way you do.
and i wonder, if i'm getting
goosebumps, what kind of magic
you must be feeling inside.
art is cool

you like me because
i laugh at your jokes

but please do know
i do not like you back

(please do know)
you are funny,
and the words that spill out of your mouth
make me smile so much
you like me
(i do not like you back)
a common fear i suppose

the rain slips down from murky clouds.
i look up, but can't see you hiding in them.
usually you are there, controlling the rains and
smiling down at us.

but not today.
where are you?

it's raining, the clouds are dark.
i can't see you.

i miss you.
you were such a comfort
to me and
i miss you. i don't want the sun
to come back out again.
all i want is you.

where are you?

she likes her but it's not a feat,
it's just a dulled love
that she can't seem to beat.

she loves her honey hair,
but the love doesn't fly back
her love is nothing more than a whisper in the air.
