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

Color

Show me a picture
Fill the lines in with your dreams
Color your hope in between
Please take me there
Bright as can be
Show me
How to live so colorfully

Asylum

Heartbeat wild
Legs weak
Doors slide shut silently
Can't move forward
Fear creeps through me
Death in the air I breathe
Set my face in a careful mask
Cannot show that I feel weak
Straighten my shoulders
Turn towards you and speak
