Roses are red
Violets are blue
I kinda really
Really miss you
Sitting in a restaurant in cottage country.
with my parents, my friend,my sister and her two friends.
I'm eating these miniature boneless chicken wings
I feel a pain in my chest,
I take a sip of my ice tea through a straw
And sit there holding my chest and closing my eyes
--
In my head is a jack hammer just pounding
My whole body feels pinned down
but also moving like the jack hammer
--
Laying on the ground I see my father leaning over top of me
I am on my back
He is pinning me down
My vision blacking out and head still pounding
"Call 911, she's having a seizure"

The only thing I can manage to say is "no"
"no. No! no! NO! No? NO... no no nonono...."
And the only thing I could think of was 'I don'y want to be a seizure person'
Epileptic is what i meant to say, but the word didn't come to me.
Tears are rushing down my face, terrified.
I can only hope this is a one time thing.

As I am helped up by my mom and escorted to the bathroom
I see all these faces looking at me
Faces of sympathy
That is the worst feeling ever.
Being stared as you are leaving the room after a seizure
I don't know why I still blame you
For every time I get sad
I used to spend days, weeks, months
Crying over you,
But it's not your fault
You were killed
Rip Nate
Every time I check I phone
I expect to see a text from you
And every time there isn't a message
I set my phone down in disappointment
And accept that I am not worthy of your time
I don't understand
What you mean by "men are dogs"
Dogs have loyalty
Haiku
It's weird
how most people
looked at love

as a field of peaches
during the harvest time

and not as two palm trees
trying to weather the storms
of the barren land.

You’ll look at the sky
I’ll look in your eyes
It’s a picture perfect scene
Photographed by two teens

But see, you take a picture
And store it away
You forget about it
As you live day by day

The same goes for memories
It happens over time
Don’t let our memory
Fade like a photograph

SCREAM
You burned out like a candle
Blown out by angry words

You’re gone, you’re gone
My mind won’t fully grasp it
Come back, come back
Come back to me

Sing to me, sing me to sleep
It’s a lullaby I can’t hear
Because you’re not here

I miss you, I miss you
I’m so sorry
Just please, come back to me
