Riley Lavender: Favorites

I've turned you into poems,
and tears and scars
but tonight,
your legacy under my skin
and in my journal
will be erased
you are no longer worthy of my words.

Creativity is Subtraction

I make imperfection look so good and perfection, stupid.

I've been looking for you-

racing
thru
sleepless
nights

trying
to get
a hold
of your
sight

Traffic Lights

I still find myself
feeling your skin
in the spaces between
bed-sheet creases

and if
missing you is like
swerving into
oncoming traffic,
then tonight
I’m sleeping
in the road.

Height

Height

I'm too short
I'm too tall
I just wish my height
Didn't matter at all

Why does my height effect who I am as a person?
