chilling wind
on a grim night

a single shadow
hovers over a light

oh to be such a glow
at the hands of such blight

she’s now only a soul
adds to the death toll

reap her,
Reaper.

When You Left

I do not remember how old you were.
No,
I remember how old I was.

The world curled in on itself.
Yes,
It rained for days.

To think I will be older than you.
Maybe,

million-word glance

the dark gaze,
screaming
punching
I love you
sharp teeth
sharper tongue
I love you

the bright gaze,
whispering
caressing
I’ll hurt you
soft lips
softer resolve
I can't love you

mother

Mother.
My laugh is starting to
Sound like yours?

sponge

Soak it up,
buttercup!

It's all you're good for.

Dry,
and you die.

so, try.

unbeknownst

the words fell softly upon her skin
whether good or bad
that’s a mercy
only a touch could bring

they floated gently,
a caress.

she is numb to the pain

sometimes the line is crossed unknownst to the victim

sun | moon

the moon watches
no light, mid night,

the stars yearn.

the sun indulges
hot ray, every day,

the clouds obscure.

some things are better off wanted.
