What's This I Feel
Mikaila Oct 2013
I have slept every night of my life
Save two
Without your arms around me.
That doesn't make it any easier on this,
One more.

Dear God,
Be very careful what you take from me. I know this is some sort of lovely stress test. I know this is pushing my limits on purpose. But do you remember last time? Don't you forget that if you take too much from me, you will create somebody who could burn you to the ground. Don't you forget that if I have nothing to lose, I will be utterly free. Don't give me that. Don't take so much from me that you give me my freedom. You know it wouldn't go well. Be very careful how much you kick me when I'm down, or I may just decide that getting back what I've lost isn't worth more than just torching this whole ridiculous life. And we both know, god, that if I were to spread my pain like flames, I'd take a whole hell of a lot with me.
Faithfully your plaything,
Mikaila

the writer

I walked up to you, a blank page, and I said,
"Make me different."
And you, the writer, said,
"Maybe later."
And that, too, was a choice.
And suddenly I was,
For good or ill...
Very different.

As You Are
Mikaila Apr 2014
It is not my lot
To teach her not to be a tyrant.
It is my lot to find ways to love her
As she is
Whether she is kind
Or cruel.

I used to say "I hate you" to her whenever she'd cross my mind. This time I'm saying "I love you".

-Does that feel better to you?

Yes. Because this one is not a lie.

My gift is that I can always find something new to live for.
My curse is that I must always be looking.

You look
So much
Like her.
