My best friend
Katie Lorenzo Apr 2013
She's lively, and lovely and gorgeous
But she has the saddest eyes I have ever seen.
A constant dazed look of anxiety
glistening with tears
gathered at the waterline,
that's covered in a dark substance
which
she thinks will somehow transform her eyes,
so close to falling over the edge
and rolling down her cheeks,
which she thinks are too chubby,
getting diverted into the indent beneath her nose,
which she thinks is too big,
to roll over her lips,
which she thinks are too thin
and only serve to hold back
feelings,
that she thinks are too stupid to share

Note to self: When I wrote this, I was happy.

The moon was supposed to be beautiful on March 19th, but it was hidden behind the clouds.
Still, I hoped you saw it, and I hoped you hoped I saw it too.

Dictionary
Katie Lorenzo Jan 2013
If I could, I'd write you a dictionary.
I'd fill it with all of the things I feel but cannot name.
The feeling of kissing you. The way my heart pumps in blood and pumps out hummingbirds.
What word can describe missing you? The ache, the longing for you when you're away?
How could I define the feeling I get when you hold my hand? When we are no longer just beings, existing separately in space.
That moment when we become linked, through a simple gesture;
I can feel thousands of universes unfolding inside of me, millions of little worlds revolving around you, because the one we're in now is not enough.
It doesn't have enough words

Unfortunately
Katie Lorenzo Jan 2013
How unfortunate that we must wait lifetimes for the right one to come along.

Heavy
Katie Lorenzo Jan 2013
Her head was heavy
with thoughts and with doubts
Soon it became too heavy to lift
and she saw nothing but the ground
She forgot skyscrapers
and power lines
and her beloved stars
When he came along
she told him her weights
He took them away with a kiss
and she could finally lift her head once more
and she saw the stars

— The End —
