595 miles. 
The distance you traveled to start a life with me.

2095 miles. 
The distance you traveled to get away from that life.

(Endless miles of heartbreak between the two.)

Work of Art

My body is clay,
mold me as you desire.
This bedroom is the kiln,
I’m ready for the fire.

How to Adult 101

It wasn’t until this year that I started keeping alcohol in the house at all times.

A year shy of thirty and I finally figured out what’s needed to survive.

Breakfast in Bed

My mistake for thinking you cared…

I 
guess 
you 
go 
down 
on 
everyone 
for 
breakfast.

Sink or Swim

On some days,
 I feel strong enough to backstroke through the most treacherous of seas.

Other days, 
My weaknesses tell me to open my mouth and inhale as the waves come crashing in on me.

Contradiction

Love is both my best friend 
and my biggest foe.

An ally and an enemy.

A blessing and a curse.

A drug that leaves me both healed
 and yet feeling worse.

NYE

The entire room is spinning 
and I’m not sure where to point the blame…

Was it that 4th shot of whiskey
 or your lips continuously summoning my name?
