Suicide is not an option
Just a mental state of mind I'm always stuck in
When people leak plutonium
Into my lead
Impenetrable
Bubble
Which also will double as my coffin
I felt eternal summer there
And ran my fingers through your hair;
And though I can't recall what for
I'd hang my camera on the door.

I locked my books with bits of string,
In a land where telephones do not ring,
And opened my windows up to hear
The babbling of students and tourists near.

I remember buying a pencil, light blue,
And drawing a picture, to give to you,
Which remains in my wallet, and when I see it I laugh
Because I drew it on the back of an old photograph.

I regret never dipping my toe in that stream,
And taking my tea without sugar or cream;
But I wish I did not uproot grass by the bunch,
And maybe then I wouldn't miss it so much.

For as you can see
it represents the effects
of reverse psychology
remember those days?
our faces were blushed pink
and snowflakes stuck to our hair-
dark, compared to the pureness around us

our hands were carefully laced together
underneath the lunch table
while we casually joked with (your) friends
i'd squeeze your hand-

we had a secret that everyone knew

like a smokers cough
or a cold sore upon the lips of a promiscuous woman

oh, those days,
i would like them back
but you took them in your bag
when you left forever

She is a cynic, I like to dream.
She’s calm as a current, I try not to gleam.
She prefers black, I prefer white.
I live in the day while she thrives at night.
We’re opposite as two people can be,
But I challenge you to look closer and see,
We both have thoughts profound.
When we’re together we ignore the world around.
We both view in color and we don’t fret.
Because we both love to watch the sunset.
There is no one for me, but my sweet darling, Annabelle Lee.
The Moon and the Sun
Are having such fun.
By Rowan.
Sometimes my heart beats too fast
Then too slow
Or stutters in my chest.
Thumping,
Jumping,
As if it's trying to get started.

At other times it pounds painfully once or twice,
Then launches into a half minute of rapid beats
Like a thrumming motor.
Barely there mouse beats.
It shivers,
Quivers,
Trembling, frightened,
Adrenaline prepped.

Perhaps it's never really been sure
If it's doing things right,
Maybe it has stage fright?

There's nothing wrong with my heart
The doctors assure me.
So why does it behave as if it wants to escape?
I want you to cradle my heart in your hands,
Gently, oh so gently,
But you only want to fumble with my *******.
Both are too precious
For your clumsy, greedy kneading.

Needing…Needing…
Bleeding…Bleeding…

You only ever wanted
The outside
You disregard
The love that lies within.
