A Single Breath Away
Brynn Louise May 2014
Look at where we stand,
Look at who we are.
It's almost as if
Nothing ever changed.
An entire year ago-
As if it were just yesterday,
A single breath away.

We fought a whole war,
Learned new lessons,
Broke our hearts,
And stole a few others.

And yet it's like nothing changed,
We're practically the same.

We worked so hard,
We broke down,
And then rebuilt.
And we're still in the same place.
As if it never happened-
A waste of our time.

We still want the same things,
Still need the same people.
Whispering the same truths,
And telling the same lies.
An entire year ago-
As if it were just yesterday,
A single breath away.

Our generation's newspaper
Is Facebook
And today's headline
Left me wanting to puke, cry,
And scream to the high heavens.

Six months I said I didn't care.
For six months I knew I was lying.
Today was the day that I dreaded,
Today is the day you moved on.

Makes feel want to #Oops
As you disappear from my life
Forever.

Ambiguity in Friends
Brynn Louise Dec 2014
I just don't understand what's going on,
I have no clue what I am to you.
Am I more now?
Am I less?
Has nothing changed at all?
I'm not a fan of ambiguity;
Especially in friends.
And I thought that we were more.
But this unknown state of being
Is tearing me apart.
So if you meant to say
That when you come back
You'll be coming back for me-
You should say it sooner.
Because if you wait 'til later
I might already be gone.

My Starlight Love
Brynn Louise Sep 2014
My love is like a star
It's there burning bright for so long that you take it for-granted
And when it's close to its end
It gives one last giant burst with all the energy that's left
And then it's gone forever

An Empty Mind
Brynn Louise Apr 2014
When the words don't come
And the thoughts stop short
I feel a sense of panic
And loss

Who am I if I have no thoughts?
What am I if I can't communicate?
I drop away from humanity
I fall out of society

— The End —
