First Love
Elizabeth Feb 2014
First love
So bright

Tongue held
Quite light

That step
So right

She fought
We fight

She thought,
"I might"

Then yelled,
"Go! Fight!"

And the play goes on in life

Love in Silence
Elizabeth Sep 2014
I could sit in silence with you for hours,
And nothing would change.
Somehow we've always been able to say everything with nothing,
And it's worked through tears since before we even knew who we were and what we loved.

I guess some things never change when eyes substitute for lips
And a heart has become a permanent home.

Moved In (Haiku)
Elizabeth Nov 2012
And now with things placed
The food in its rightful space
My home is erased

Reaching for Someone
Elizabeth May 2014
If only my arms reached once around the world.

I would sweep them back and forth, combing each and every surface,

Until I touched you.
Elizabeth Jun 2015
It must be real,
If hearing the blades of grass
Whisper to my toes
Makes me think about you.
Elizabeth Apr 2014
Not the high you think,
But the knee quivering high.
I shrink with each breath.

My Difficulties
Elizabeth May 2014
What was the purpose of difficulty?
Whoever wears the crown, I'd like to inquire them on that particular question.
And then the follow up:
Why give me so much?

I struggle to remember the reasons as to why I made the choice that I did,
And my head cannot carry this burden along with the other necessary parts of my life at the
moment.
I need the relief I deserve,
And I will fight for it as long as your arms are open.
But this might never be enough,
Your arms may have never been open to begin with.

— The End —
