Their hallow heads hold fire after being carved by kids. I wonder how they do that, gouge a gourd for human fests. I bring them water every day, until they grow with might, these now seedless pumpkins that glow all through the night. They say they scare the ghosts away but none yet have I seen except the ones of the rotted skeletons that were once these.

She grasped her knee with an empty hand and no one asked her why. She felt the pain the concrete made and broke down to cry. She fell so hard that she bled right down to her socks. The boy who her pushed her to the ground just laughed as he threw rocks.

I spend my time painting faces that I have never seen. I make them up inside my mind, I imagine them from seeds. The seeds come from places I've never been, they come from towns across the seas. People drop them by my corner from which I wish and plea. I wish to paint the face of love that has once found me. Me, I paint the faces of those across the sea.

As you pass me on the sidewalk, ignoring my gaze, I begin to think of the cold winter days we sat inside sipping coffee by the window; the crisp fall air surrounding us on our morning walks; the kids running outside in a rain storm letting the water soak into their skin. Only none if this happened because you never stopped to say hello.

My heart grows weary from beating without yours by my side. This life speaks words of sorrow through the wind. The frigid air cuts through my skin making me wonder if I could ever thrive again. This bittersweet end to a perfect love will forever cage my fondness for you. As we both take our separate paths, I will shiver through my veins praying to see you once again.

When the house is asleep in the deep of the night, that is when I cry.
They don't understand because they aren't one of my kind
A reject of the default,
the broken inside.
So hurt and useless in a world so small We wonder if anyone cares at all
Our plea is the same lead us out of this hole they've dug for us
Our souls are empty knickknacks sitting on a forlorn shelf  
Waiting for someone to love us and pick us up from this hell
I see a distant wish granted though it will be too long
So read what I write
this empty hopeless song
for when the house is asleep in the deep of the night, that is when I die.

I want to fall in love
I want to swim with the stars
I want to dream of things the world has never seen
I want to draw in my storybook, the world of hope
I want to never let go of my destiny
