These winds that blow
are the breaths that you breathe.
This field that we lay in
of tall flourished wheat
is your flowing golden hair.
Those cute little birds
that dance across the blue sky
are the freckles on your skin.
That big bright Sun
that makes everybody's day
is the beautiful smile on your face.
The warmth of the soil
that emanates off this land
is the comfort of your touch.
These little things
are all that remain of you.
This is the land that we became.
And this is the land
that holds your grave.
I come here from time to time,
to remember these things
that once were mine.

Take my hand and we will fly.
Above the trees.
Higher than the mountains.
Through the clouds.
Out of this world.
And into the stars.
Here we will gaze into the lights.
You pull me closer and we lean to kiss.
As our lips touch,
the stars explode just for us.
The colors paint the black sky,
like the color of our lips painted by love.
Take my hand
And fly with me.

Dear Sadness,

I lost him,
my friend.
The one I spent
day and night
protecting,
supporting,
caring.
I made sure he was
safe,
happy,
alive.
I made sure
he wouldn't be
hurt.
I tried to keep his
wound
from tearing more,
but
I wasn't enough
to keep him here.
I lost him,
my friend.
To the cold wind
of the night.
To the quietness
of the dark.
To the sharp blade
of a knife.
To the floors
painted
with blood.

Dear Hatred,

I listened to you scream,
yell,
cry,
fight.
For days.
For weeks.
For years.
Ever since the day I had been born,
I have heard you
argue
through my bedroom walls,
under my bed covers,
through my tears.
My life has been
miserable.
All my fifteen years,
and you haven’t
even once
considered,
to stop,
for my own sake.
But now,
I sit on the corner
of a trashed intersection
holding up a cardboard sign,
like one of those
pathetic,
hopeless,
women,
that can only wait for a miracle
that won't come.
I ran away
from you.
Away from the
noise,
from the
abuse,
from all this
hate.
You have caused my life,
so much pain,
regret,
sorrow,
questioning of my
own existence.
I just tried
to run away from it all,
but you found a way
to make it worse.
You have made life
unmerciful,
and you continue to
torture me.
I have never been
wanted
by anyone.
So I guess it’s better now,
that I’m gone.
I hope you are happy.
Because I’m not.
I hate the world.
I hate life.
I hate you
I hate myself.

— The End —
