I am the most sincere
whenever I tell them “I’m here”
when they’re feeling lonely
and most definitely needing somebody
But I cannot do anything
if they keep going missing
when it’s my turn
to need them the most
I just turn to my champagne
and
to honor my anguish,
raise my glass for a toast


-c.s.

I thought it was safe to fall
You know I could’ve been
your end all be all
But you weren’t ready
I was going all out
but your heart’s not steady

Now I watch leaves fall from a tree
as I pour on this paper
seeking comfort
in my poetry


-c.s.

Birthday candle is blown
Surrounded with love
from people I’ve always known
But to satiate the need
to feel cherished—
—is a call or a text message
to make his love-binding spell
well-established
Oh, how nice would that be
But he doesn’t think of me
And that is reality




-c.s.
