Madeleine Howard Jun 2014
I've got to stop
Making homes out of
People with shaky foundations
And broken roofs
Madeleine Howard Jun 2014
There are flowers
Growing from your cheeks
Sometimes you just need to
Water them a little.


Crying helps.
Madeleine Howard Jun 2014
Sometimes I look at the veins
Sprawling through my arm
And down my wrist
I wonder how you
Got in there and
I wonder if
That's why
They're
Blue
Madeleine Howard Jul 2013
I weave flowers into
My hair the way
Some smoke
Cigarettes.

All around me
In this woodland
There are paths

Paths to take you out
Paths to take you further in
Paths that lead to paths

I don't want paths
I want to discover
All on my own

I don't want the answers
Inside of a once-beautiful place
I want my own chance

To find my own way out
And discover my own path
Around the trees

I don't want to follow someone
Else's path
It is theirs

I will find mine
One that belongs to me
One that will not allow another to follow

sad
I know you're
sad
you don't hug like you
used to
but I have grown to love you
what you have come to
be
I hope you get everything you want
maybe
a house and some kids
maybe travelling to
foreign places
or maybe it's finally
feeling happy again
Madeleine Howard May 2013
I hope
your heart
is greater
than the
cavity of
sadness that
contains it
