Forgotten

I visit a cemetery
Passing slabs of grey
I pause at one
Who were you?
What was your story?
Silence is my only answer
I weave your life
Inside of my mind
Has everyone forgotten you too?

Hit Me With Those Blue Eyes


As your eyes appraise the room
They rest on me
And it's frightening
How quickly
They seem to cut through
Behind your level gaze
And mocking smile
Lies a quiet intensity

Rx

I have a secret
A way to end it all
Hidden away
In the bottom
Of a drawer
I keep it near
Just in case
I can't stay here
Anymore

A Bed That Creaks

I’m spread out across  
A bed that creaks
You settle in

Sinking beside me
Just close enough

To almost touch
Eyes tight with tension
Mouth thin from worry
Words have become
So very obsolete
You reach out
And pull me near
A tight hold
I press myself closer
As time passes slow
We stay still
Lying side by side
On a bed that creaks

The End

Silly girl
Thought I'd be happy now
Nothing left to "fix"
So tell me why
I still feel broken

Contentment

I have never been more content                                        
Hanging out the car window
Wind blowing my hair
Into a wild mess

The Back Yard




Swing, Swing
Back and forth
Sun, sun
Comfort and warmth
Feet, feet
Bare and rough
Wind, wind
Playful and rushed
Love, love
Laughter and hugs
Smile, smile
Mirrored and wide
