i had to scrub
the initials of your name
off of my skin
but it stayed
scarred on my heart
even after the redness
had faded away

Hair a spiders web
tangled gently on her sloping neck
her fingers red, and soft, and swollen,
childlike;
as if her fingers quested through frozen snow.
forehead high, and wide, and arched
her cheeks so blushed, her eyes so dark.
hips soft and round,
curved into a shy hunch
of shoulders marked by freckles which drifted
from nose to rib.
her stomach warm, her legs sharp
she graces, stumbling through my confined heart.

i shouldn't still miss you
i shouldn't still have
this ache
in my soul
i shouldn't still love you
so much
the way i always did
but i still do
Scratch the ground and growl at me,
I really can't complain
For you are only looking tough
When you're afraid to be unchained.

One day you'll wake
up, blinds shut,
closet doors swinging
open and your
lavender-scented candles
have fallen on the
floor and you sit there,
you realize how alone
you are. You close
your eyes, wishing you
were someone else
in a snap but you
broke into tears because
you knew for a fact that
things don't work that way.

i don't talk about you
or ask about you

i don't want to hear
someone else saying your name
with a smile
or a frown

i don't want to hear
someone else telling me
what i only i
used to know

i don't want to hear
from someone else
that you're happy
though i hope you are

i don't want to hear
from someone else
that you're sad
though i hope you are
a little bit
too

i don't want to hear
your name
coming from my lips
or tumbling from my mind
but i still hear
my voice
after dreaming of you
and your eyes
whispering your name
People are beautiful.
Today I went to a gathering and saw many different people from all different backgrounds. Our diversity is beautiful.
