growing distance
Topanga Annette Dec 2014
i long to relive the way my heart grew forests when you'd say hello.
now,
every word you speak is
nothing
but a lull to the
cobwebbed heartstrings
of which my
soul bears.

Turn the page...
Topanga Annette Dec 2013
Reach for the thick spined book on the bottom shelf
That everyone has ignored,
dust off the cover and think:
what am i really doing
Because nobody ever knew until they tried...
A scrapbook
It reflects on the deepest puddles
It lightens the cracked palms of the shattered souls
It's reaching out and caressing the damages of time itself
As is father time had any say
Telling the stories you can't seem to remember
Reminding you of the ones you have forgotten
Because they say
A picture,
It's worth a thousand words.

Darkness
Topanga Annette Sep 2013
There's something about
this darkness
that sends shivers down my spine.

Could it be the way you
turned off the lights
and held your hand in mine.

Haunted with a dreamless sleep
without you next to me.

       hopelessly
    treacherously
   and most of all
unforgivingly
   in love

   is it the way your lips move
when you creep in a smile
  or maybe the way your heart breaks
   when you haven't seen someone in a while?
