You can be anything-
Without the burden of pain.
You are everything, in being
nothing.
You were something.
You still are-
My sister.
I can forget the pain
And I can say your name
Maddie Aug 2014
I make art;
Portraits piled
On portraits-
My body covered in paint.
My work hangs on the Walls
And often rests
In the trash.

There is something beautiful
In a picture-
But like beauty
It meets no means,
And will leave me
Trembling
In its
Dust.
Maddie Aug 2014
I'd feel the floor
Move beneath me
And send the Earth
Into the Sun-
Where it would shatter
And burn.
I would Burn the world
Maddie Aug 2014
I wish your ashes
Would turn to dust
So I could
Throw them to the Night.
And if you were a star
I'd tie myself
To the moon
Just to be
A little closer
To you.
Maddie Aug 2014
If waves could wash
Away
My memory of you
I'd sleep in the rivers, and
Drown
Maddie Jul 2014
These Two Years
Have felt like
An eternity-
With forever wrapped up
In Christmas paper
And shoved
Under the tree
Maddie Jul 2014
I don't care how
Beaten and Broken
My body may be
I will always
Run up the stairs,
Just to remind myself
I can.
