She loved
           the city
           the night stars
   the snow
She loved Love
especially
         falling
              in
                  Love
but now
      feels
Nothing

not even the blizzard’s icey teeth
sinking its fangs into her skin.

To her right is the road
that She followed
to break free
of the quiet, safe life
worth anything
and everything now.
Then She looks to
the deceiving mirage
of a new start,
a bright
happy
future
filled with big beautiful towers
glowing their fake lights like amber constellations.





her fault :
believing She was strong
practically invincible
safe
and nobody could
take that away

but in one moment
all that
fragile strength
was lost.

She never asked for
  the nightmares
  the fear of Him
or for the responsibility of
two heart beats

but He didn’t listen,
said nobody will ever believe her
and once She found out about It
She lost
her
mind
completely.

looking down to the
rage of rapids
She places her hands on her
sick stomach
listens to the ZOOM of the
carefree cars
their sounds verifying that She is
finally
                 entirely
invisible.

nobody notices
       her hair restless in the wind
  the hem of her dress
       gently kissing the steele beam
           that freezes her bare purple feet.


nobody notices
when She finally escapes
  when She sets herself free
and falls into
rectifying
darkness.
With love, kelsey

I thought I would miss you forever.
I always thought the day we parted would be the worse day of my life.
It was, the first day and the second and two weeks after.
Just hearing your name made me burst into tears.
But one day not to long after the last day I saw you
I woke up and I did not even think of you.
All the songs I listened to no longer reminded me of you.
This went on for weeks.
Until one Summers day I saw you once again.
You said "Hello."
I said "Hey"
The way you looked at me reminded me of how you used too look at me.
It reminded me of how you looked at me when we first met.
Then I walked away.
I walked away because for the first time I knew I was finally over you.

Becoming perfect was my one goal in  my life.
Trying to become perfect cut me in pieces.
I was torn in pieces.
I became evil.
My positive perspective went away.
Becoming perfect was the worst goal I ever had.
In the  end none of it was worth it.
I found I was closer to being perfect when I was just being me.
Just pretend that you don't know me

And I'll just pretend too
That I don't have feelings for you

I talked about you a lot.
I talked about you a lot in the weeks after we said good bye.
I talked about you a lot after our last good bye.
I always knew in my heart you never cared.
I knew this was true because you told me not to ever talk to you.
You told me you were looking for one thing only.
I talked about you to a friend.
I cried for hours.
Saying how I cared so much and he never did.
Then she told me  something I never saw coming.
she said " He always cared about you but you always seemed to push him away. I know for a fact he cared about you the whole time. I know because he told me."
From then on I hated myself for pushing him away and pretending I did not care.

I used to think that you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes
That your presence alone would suffice
You said it yourself, that once you fall in love
Everything about them is beautiful

It’s so easy to put it in words
How each day you gave me a wonderful feeling
But your image in my head is now blurred
I realized your beauty is not appealing

You made me feel unimportant
I couldn’t get over it
The feeling when you thought it was all real
But it’s not

Disappointed, I must say
On what could’ve been
Between us I thought there was never an end
Here I am no matter how hard I try
I am not attracted anymore
Or so I thought

To care about someone when one’s hurt
That’s what love is all about.

But I still think about you
Just because I don’t like you anymore
Doesn’t mean I don’t care about you
I said I’d never leave
And I never did
