Tears of salt, ties of
blood tight; father and daughter
no distance can part.

(Written last year in the hour after my Pa left this earth. Found this afternoon.)
The girl sits with a razor kissing her wrists.
The boy sits in a corner enduring never ending kicks.

She says she'll be fine.
He says he just stepped out of line.

She doesn't understand that this is far from fine.
And He doesn't understand that this is not because he was out of line,

She believes she deserves this.
He believes they love him.

Neither of which are true.

Why would she deserve pain,
and why would he deserve the cold bottom of their shoes?
I am so very sorry  mother.
Even to my only brother.

I made one of my biggest mistakes..
My promises are the ones who breaks.

My idiotic maturity.
they make my soul impurity.

I beg of you mother, please forgive me..
You don't know just how sorry I'll be.

I love you mother and im so sorry.
Just sit with me and look at the sky, Isn't it starry?

Please don't be mad.
Im trying so hard not to be bad.

Im sorry*  mother*.
I'll try to be another.
To my mother the one who is my forever friend
myaddiction

I'm addicted to love.
And
I'm addicted to blond hair.
And
the color blue.
and
I'm addicted to the smell of smoke.
And
I'm addicted to the way I feel around you.
And
I'm addicted to green eyes.
And
Im addicted to sunshine.
And
warmth.
I'm addicted to sadness.
And
I'm addicted to hiding.

But most of all.

*I'm addicted to being alone.
she's clawing out her eyes
to see that you were
never there to begin with

axr
she ruled kingdoms three
the land were prisoners roam free
she spent her time staring at walls
making worlds which would never fall

the chieftain came in and bowed at her feet
'My Queen,the enemy has left us no option -
surrender or retreat.'
Aghast,bewildered and tensed she paced the court
'Oh dear! did they sink our boat?'
'Your majesty, will you please tell how to act in such a situation?'
'You fool! how am I supposed to answer when I am the Queen of Procrastination!'
