I ripped my heart out
then put it on your silver platter
and all you can say is
“ I’ll text you later .”
I guess this is how heartbreak goes for some people.

You asked
What is the scariest part?

I answer
The scariest part
is not the feeling of loneliness
or the darkness that fills you
despite the looming pain
of emptiness

The scariest part
is the realization  
that you have lost yourself
completely
sinking in as you lay awake
at 2 AM
because you lost the ability to sleep
and you can't even cry
because you don't even care

Sometimes Starr
The world meets my brain in acidic red
Puffy-eyed, childlike, wrong side of the bed
Swollen feet fumble for steps that seek only
To placate the mind for each baby bird moment

My golden track winds out to the sea
But it's empty
And I'm riding the much simpler bronze one
And not making it easy
Let this be our secret
We messed up, so quick
Pile on the dirt
And don't mark my grave

Wearing a white dress and gold necklace chain.
Ella looked so sweet walking barefoot in the rain.
She just wanted to feel the rain between her toes.
And the raindrops falling lightly on her cornrows.
Just a pretty little inner city girl.
Loving her rainy day world.

When you don't understand my pain
you don't understand my pride
My heart beats all the same
Whether you're far or near my side
