November

I spent the month of November living in the spine of a whale that washed up on shore
The only thing that kept me sane was the sound of the waves rolling across the beach
And only because it sounded like my fingers trailing across your bare skin or your lips against mine
I kept a fire burning just to stay warm
It laughed at me the whole time I sat across from it shivering
And it reminded me of how you would always laugh at me when I couldn’t keep myself from shaking
I hope your muscles are thinning out and the tremors haunt you now
There was an old lighthouse a few miles up the shore where I spent most of my time
I think the light at the top had a faulty connection somewhere
Because it flickered off and on at what seemed like irregular intervals
Truth is it reminded me of the way you used to smile at me
There must be a faulty connection somewhere among your synapses too

I should have know it was her; not me

I should have know it was her; not me

It started out good, It started out sweet,
your hug, your hand, your warm embrace,
your eyes looking into mine, I saw kindness and warmth in your eyes
and I stupidly mistake it for love,
I honestly thought we'd last, I thought you were "the one".
But really I was wrong
You used me for a friend
I wish I could have seen through the lies
I wish I could have saw what was really in your eyes
the love in their wasn't for me, just the girl who was always next to me
when you'd smile or take my hand,
was it her you saw?
was it her you pretended to hug and hold?
Was it her you dated me to forget?
Does it matter that I am dying inside?
Does it matter that I actually loved you, that I always will?
Does it matter that I stay up and cry for you?
I stay up night after night thinking why wasn't I good enough for you?
What did I do wrong?
I wonder I cant mean something to you, why I didn't matter.
I wonder why didn't I see you for real, that you didn't care, that you never will?
I really do love you, and I know it may be hard to believe since I just let you leave
but how can I hold on to someone who doesn't care...who loves my friend and not me...?

This is actually something from the heart and happened to me. These are my personal thoughts so please don't hate on it.

To The Memories That Burn

Here's to lost memories,

Whispers over the phone,
The boy that saved my life.

Melodies from the heart,
The boy with a knife.

A summer to remember,
The boy that meowed.

Singing in the car,
The boy that never frowned.

Sleepless nights,
The girl I grew up with.

Ghost hunting,
The boy who believed in myths.

Telling me not to hide,
The boy that texted dad.

Secret messages of love,
The boy I never had.

Here's to lost memories...

And the friends that became enemies.

If Your Heart Was A Pomegranate

If Your Heart Was A Pomegranate

I would crack it open over the sink.
I would split
               first, the stiff, waxy skin
               then the inner membrane, papery and white and fleshy
and reveal a thousand rubies, nestled in their pulp.
And as my hands glossed, sticky and scarlet,
I would press my index finger to the center of my tongue
and **** the sharp juice with such ardency
that you would become
               the pink in my spit
               and the thick in my mouth.
I would take careful notice not to lose a single jewel,
but to fully consume.
I would not mind your seeds
lodged between my molars.
Perhaps I would even keep them there as long as I could
               because you are my favorite flavor.
And perhaps after your juice has spilled and painted maps on my arms
and dripped from my elbows,
I would piece the shell back together,
tuck it in your chest behind your ribs, and close you up.
And perhaps then,
               when I had licked its walls clean
               when I had emptied its insides,
then there would be room for me.
