 May 2020 Oh
Bogdan Dragos
as a kid
there's nothing
like wasting away inside a tiny
room
sitting on the backrest
of the couch
looking out the window
and seeing her
tread through the rain

a red umbrella covers
her.

Mother

she's going back
to the liquor store
 Nov 2019 Oh
Maria Imran
We are all sad, broken, shy
Caught up in one boggling goodbye:
That was not said, or heard
Or meant.

We are all shy, broken, sad
Counting at night what in those days we had:
What was stolen, taken, sent
No good meant.

We are all broken, broken, broken.
 Nov 2019 Oh
Michelle
Survival 101
 Nov 2019 Oh
Michelle
When it comes to love,
never be the one
who cares the most.

There's no better way
to get someone to fall,
than to pretend
you feel nothing at all.

Distance will only draw
your loved one closer,
but you better not
leave thoughts unspoken.

At least not for long,
if you are afraid
to have that person
let go.

 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Dread
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Scream into the dark
And tell me, my dear
Which do you dread more
The echo?
Or the answer?

 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Realization
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
I didn’t realize
I had fallen in love
Until I noticed
My eyes straying
From the clouds
And onto you
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Hate is bred from love
That’s what makes
This world of ours
As miserable
As it is
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
I hear you crying sometimes
Muffled cries of agony
When feeling in itself is a crime
During the darkest of nights
When silence is the loudest sound
And black is all that’s in sight
Do not hide your tears
For I will always
Be here for you, my dear
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Hurry
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Watching you
Makes me see
That you seem
To be in a hurry
To die
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
Bad Habits
 Nov 2019 Oh
unnamed
I’ve developed a terrible habit
One that makes my wrists
Burn and bleed
It makes my soul
Yearn and weep
Simply to punish myself
For being me.
 Nov 2019 Oh
underestimated
I never thought I’d say this but I want you back
I know I didn’t love you right and I’m so sorry
It’s just that my brain just wasn’t thinking right
I just wasn’t okay
But now I’m in a good state of mind
And I’m doing fine
But you’re always on my mind
So please give me a second chance I won’t waste your time
I know I have before but I swear not this time
We can be beautiful
We can be amazing
We can be the power couple
And we can be blazing
Just give me a second chance because I want you back
Please give me one last chance...

— The End —
