clenched fists

eyes rolled back, tousled mane

face red from Master's slaps

gentle violence

*good girl.
here we go again...

ocean
Disappear here Aug 2015
we visited the beach, kicked up the sand

I watched you lovingly as you paddled in the surf

and then the sea stood up and hugged you

as if you were responsible for keeping it blue
and I miss you like the current misses the moon

hurricane heart
Disappear here Sep 2015
you were always the one with the hurricane heart.

the one with the whirlwind mind and the tornado soul

but for some reason

you fell in love with me, my sleet eyes

and my drizzle-desperation

refuse-gee
Disappear here Sep 2015
it's looking into the horror-filled eyes of a four year old girl
holding her shaking hands

as she watches her father, her mother
blown to smithereens

it's the family of five
reduced to three

it's the grandmother of fifteen, who is over filled with love
now that she only has six to share it between

it's the cousins, brothers, aunts
packed into a tiny sail boat

who are we to deny the happiness of those who don't think they'll ever be happy again?

who are we to turn away the freedom of people who believe they will never be freed?
something has to be done, we are all human.

resilience
Disappear here Sep 2015
growing up with a concrete exterior

stern eyes and pursed lips

you are nothing

but a walking message in a bottle

that nobody would dare to open.

that's the thing about resilience

it never really does you any favours.

5am
Disappear here Sep 2015
5am
it's 5am and although my body is frozen still, my mind races.

it's 5am and I'm terrified

it's 5am and I'm riddled with guilt

it's 5am and

I am the one responsible

for murdering you

it's 5am and

you're dead and

I'm dead inside

irony
Disappear here Aug 2015
maybe in 10 years we'll bump into each other

we'll catch up on all the time we let run away

and how desperately in love I was with you

and we can laugh about how we broke eachothers hearts.
though something tells me you'll be around for a while

chernobyl
Disappear here Oct 2015
i miss you**
like a Chernobyl swingset misses children.
it was our birthday one week and one day ago and since then I've thought of nothing but you.
Disappear here Sep 2015
there is a legend that says if you fold a thousand paper cranes and make a wish, it will come true.

I could fold ten thousand paper cranes and make ten tiny wishes and not one of them could cure you

I see your bones, your sunken eyes, your thinning hair

and it makes me so ******* sick that I have my health, my happiness and my life ahead of me.

you're terminally ill and I'm terminally guilty.

so although there is no hope

I will fold paper cranes and make paper wishes

because sometimes we all need something to hold onto

magenta
Disappear here Aug 2015
there was a time that I were blue

and when I met you, you were red

you touched my heart and I turned magenta

then one day you decided

that magenta didn't suit you
I'm feeling a colours theme here

orange
Disappear here Aug 2015
one day you'll meet a person wearing an orange shirt

and even though you used to hate orange

now you find yourself noticing that it has become the colour of your world.

getting lost at sea
Disappear here Oct 2015
some days I want to be everywhere
some days I want to be nowhere at all

I don't know what's worse

being lost at sea, surrounded by water
or dying of thirst
I don't know

autumn

what do you do when autumn comes?

Disappear here Jan 2016
sometimes I wonder if you miss me at all

if you miss the mind games we used to play off on one another

if you miss the long, late night conversations

if you miss how it felt to talk to somebody you're so connected with

sometimes I wonder if you know

that I am most definitely

still swinging

in Chernobyl
I miss you every single ******* day and I'm sorry that my life circumstances prevent us from being friends.

Empty

I remember trying to put into words
what it was I had been feeling

the paper stayed empty -

and I couldn't have done any better

the yellow fingerprint bruises

perfectly aligned

you promised to never let me go

i had no idea you would be so literal.

No magic found

And no love lost.

Silly girl,

You should have known better

green galaxies
Disappear here Aug 2015
I hope that one day you'll find someone that sees your eyes as green galaxies

and your hair as stars

and your body as a universe

because my love

to experience something so out of this world

is the least you deserve.

goodbye
Disappear here Sep 2015
crumpled on the floor

finally, you're out the door

could it be,

I finally gave you what for?

I wait and I wait

for you, my siren eyed boy

sand and shingle

our toes, they tingle

with the green glass licked smooth by the sea

you took a gun to the edge of the water

I'll see you again, at the bottom of the ocean
tonight, my love, we sleep with the fishes

why
Disappear here Aug 2015
why
why is it that
even with the bleariest eyes, the most grainy minds

I find myself wide awake

owl-eyed at 4am

high on the thought of you, sweetheart.
get out of my head you intrusive *******

Disappear here Nov 2015
6 years ago I tried to **** myself.

it's not something that you tend to forget; however hard you try.

sometimes it sits in the back of your mind, but it's always there.

remains
Disappear here Sep 2015
as I dig through what remains

through the ashes and embers

i realise

your love

is a burnt and ****** offering.

as I did when you were around.
when you left you took my mind with you

I take a deep breath and pause for thought

with a tiny smile and my eyes closed

I know that if I open them, I'll see myself

and there is nothing that I hate more.

most people die at 30

but those people aren't buried until they're 80.

as a human you have the right to live the life you want to.

don't let your soul die before your body does.

Heavy
Disappear here Sep 2016
I've got a heavy heart
And a heavy mind
I've been looking at you
Through heavy eyes
If only I had realised sooner
