we pulled the plug last night
she was so vibrant
a flower in a garden of weeds
she smiled her last smile as I read the words
"Goodnight Moon"
she smiled and said
"Goodnight dear, I am now tired"

Ouch
You step on my china doll figure
Crushing my glass under your shoe. You start stomping, making dust of me.

Then you think you can pick me up, but most of my broken pieces fall through your fingers when you do. I come with you, but leave most of myself behind.

A single tree stands after the forest fire.
A single evergreen high fives the sky.
He stood through the pain of the blistering heat quickly taking all down.
He rose tall as his friends left without goodbye.
He’s still here
The single tree.

One needs nobody but themselves.
A knight in shining armor is a myth.
We dance ourselves.

A slither of regret climbs my skin. The hairs, standing up on every inch. Whathave I done?! I’ve killed myself trying to take you down.

don't fight the ropes that tie around your fragile barrier of skin.
don't scream, there's gauze on your mouth.
dont walk for chains forbid the legs to move.
love is a drug.
until you're in so deep they have you strangled.
dont, dont, dont you say as they crumble your dreams.
but you wouldnt have it any other way.
the pain, the sacrifice, may never end but as long as their smile is in your eyes, not a single thing matters. not a single thing
