lights are bright
fights are kind
out of sight yet in my mind

serendipitous & real,
touched through the screen.

everything else is surreal but
these flags are green.

ready to go
so keep this flow

serene.

gently pushed against a car,
intoxicated

been kissed before,
but not like this

could be the flutters
of a first kiss

where there’s darkness there’s light, that’s what they say

but she’s heartless
and there was no light on saturday

how could she do this, how could she turn

w o r s e than those who damaged her?

no salvation, no “please,”
only devastation and scars no one will see

she’ll never have the life she planned in her dreams
