Tell me this!
How can you cage a bird
When you fell in love
Whilst watching it fly?

We were all walking and talking
But you pulled me back from the group
You said you needed to talk to me
I can hear the cars driving in the distance
Our friends laughter starts to fade
You push me up against the building
You said you been watching me
I tried to scream
But your hand quickly covered my mouth
You start to violate me
I start to cry but it didn't stop you
All I can think about is my grandma
And what she would think of me
After you were done, you walked away
I can hear the crunch your shoes made on the grovel
And all I can do is cry and cover myself
As you walk away from a body you violated

The poet writes,
The reader feels.

hay, I’m lost…
Wonder how much it will co$t?
to stay lost.

I am a lonely book
On a dusty shelf
I am full of stories
Patiently waiting for a reader
To hang on every word
Read every line
Get lost between the pages
In my spine
