What meaning we store,
In the words that fall from our mouthes.
We should know better.

Before you leave:
Say goodbye,
fragile smiles.
Wave to the happy thoughts and
the golden beams of light
that would leave my eyes,
and enter yours.
Say goodbye,
weeping starts.
Im going somewhere your not,
which indeed must be somewhere far.

Could
“i could love you,” he says
or whispers
into your ear.
And then you shiver
but its not from his words it’s
from his hand wrapped so tightly around
your wrist that you know
plum colored skin will be there when you look next.
“I could love you,” he slips the words from
his mouth.
A snake!
A snake,
has wrapped itself around you.
Declaring love he could give...

I walk in Madness.
I walk in madness
and shadows in white attack.
i believe what i see and i see what i know and
there’s gossamer on peoples backs.

Once Upon A Time
Life is full of these stories that tell
You that if you wish hard enough,
You’ll get everything you want. I Once
Believed all that. When I was small,
of course. I believed that even mundane
things like shoe laces held magic.
I placed all my hopes ...

The Lyrics Say:
“I see skies of blue,
And I think to myself”
“you belong with me”
“I see you winding, grinding
Up on that poll”
“and I think to myself,”
“I would catch a grenade for you.”
“you had a lot of crooks try and steal your heart,”
“and the silence scares me cause it screams the truth,”
“but darling you are the only exception,”
“and its too cold outside for angels to fly.
Strange men, struggling to pay...

Bye bye beautiful mind,
Write to me,
When you find the time,
Now and then,
Would be perfectly fine.

how tired it can get,
walking up the same mountains.
You trip more often.

turning the tables
There’s nothing better
than when i turn on my heel
and leave you wanting for a change.
There’s nothing that feels better
than walking away.

Yellow Dresses
I see small yellow dresses with
the palest blue sashes and
i remember tea parties with
tiaras on our heads and
princesses finding their own ways out then
i feel sad because
i miss the times where we wore
small yellow dresses with
the palest blue sashes.

Tide Pools
Fish in tide pools wait for
the ocean to come back.
Would is be okay if
I waited for you like that?

Geisha
Paint my lips again,
Put colour behind my eyes.
Make my face like snow,
Cover up every lie.
Make me sleep on rice,
Take away my right to think.
Sculpt my hair with wax,
then i’ll pour the tea you drink.
I will cry no tears,
i will feel no fears.
I will dance with fans,
then long for affection that’s banned.

Pretty
They try to feed me lies about whats
pretty. I
think to myself, “don’t believe them, they’re just
hairspray and
collagen.” But there’s this odd sort of
ticking or maybe a
tugging
in my heart saying “for a day,
i’d like to look like that too,”

Look over here please.
No, not past me, right at me.
Please just meet my gaze.

Behind a Door (part 3)
I bring my knees to my chest
And I cry a river and wish I could drown
And I see you when you smile at me and
I hope you never come around
Again.
You laugh at me
You make my heart go dark and tears seep.
Your hate makes me hate
And now im playing it safe.
I’ll shove my heart behind a door,
And lock it away.

Behind a Door (part 2)
You brush my face with your fingers
And I let you.
Even though it hurts later
And you know it does.
And then you kiss me just because
And it hurts even more
I run away thinking
What am I running for?
You give my heart one final blow
Ashes to Ashes is how the rhyme goes.
An arrow in my heart straight through,
Then I turn into dust too.
Then you even laugh at me
As my heart goes dark and tears...

Behind a Door (part 1)
How long I’ve kept my lips sealed
How long I’ve locked away the key.
How long I’ve wanted you
Without you wanting me.
Its like living in a room
Without air.
Like being too close to the suns hot glare.
How easy it is for you to ignore
It’s almost like your bored.
You give my heart one final blow
Ashes to Ashes is how the rhyme goes.
An arrow in my heart straight through,
Then I turn into dust...

At first glance,
They’re blue.
Not just any blue but blue like the sea, hiding thousands of
secrets in their depths.
But then i notice a web of brown, and
a spider of green
and i realize that this ocean is far more comlplicated than i
first thought.

ill just keep walking till we’re far apart till
you cant reach me anymore.

Trips You
I dont think you see how
my eyes follow you.
I dont think you notice how i smile when
you smile.
And i know that you dont see how i
boil, how i
steam
with anger when he cancels on you.
Or
when he lies but
you cant tell he’s
lying and i most definitely can.
You’re wasting your time on him but
at least i know that-
as long as im here- i’ll
catch you when he trips...

Coma
Its dark
But at the same time there’s light everywhere
And
I feel heavy but ever so light all
At the same time.
I think I’ve been walking for days now,
But im not sure.
Sometimes it feels like only moments.
Other times like centuries.
You’d think I’d have passed a gas station
or something
on the side of this seemingly endless highway of nothing,
but I haven’t.
Nor have I seen another person’s...

Then, i looked at your photo,
I was a feather.

Fallen
Her gaze roams over the horizen
she debates a running start
but decides against it.
she simply steps off and lets
the wind take her.
The wings behind her stretch out
and for a moment she feels like how she felt before
him.
But then it all shatters.
And the wings that were once so
regal, so
lovely
are now letting the wind fly right through them,
causing her to fall.
and fall.

"Hey"
Sitting by the pier
its dark and no one knows
the two of you are there
together.
you watch the waves come
and you watch them go.
you hold each other’s hands
under the moon’s soft glow.
Put your head on his shoulder
and close your eyes.
“hey”
You whisper in a sigh.
And in that moment nothing else exists,
most certainly not goodbye.

Mr. W. Willow
I stand and look, with a question in my eyes.
I ask you, “Mr. Willow, why do you cry?
Have you not gotten enough sleep?
Is that the reason why you weep?
Or perhaps its something else that’s making you blue-
Do you have something to share- is that true?
How sad I am to see you there
Heavy with secrets you cannot share.
They weigh you down, it seems to me.
They weigh you down and cause you to...

Never Gone Go
Is it because I am smaller,
That I am insignificant?
Or is it that I am far too easily noticed,
That makes you so maleficient?
Does the way I walk bother you?
With light steps and straight.
Does the way I avoid your traps annoy you?
My intelligence make you irate?
I was here first,
As odd as that may seem
To one as big as you,
One in which such power teems.
It is odd, indeed,
But it is...

Leftovers
There’s nothing in the alley,
But
For the leftovers that
Didn’t
Make the cut
And
Got thrown away.
Such
Abundance
Such
Use.
They could feed
A
Whole nation.
Instead,
They sit regally,
And their beauty
Slowly
Disintegrates.
