  • The Boyfriend

    “Why did you go to his house?  You swore to me you would never go back.”  I paced in the front hallway as McKenzie slowly took her gloves and jacket off.  I knew she had been at Kevin’s house whether she would admit it or not.  The scent of his bitter cologne wafted toward me…

  • My Heart

    If you rip my heart out  I won’t even notice.  If you rip my heart out  it won’t even hurt If you rip my heart out  I probably won’t bleed.  If you rip my heart out  I won’t keep chasing.  If you rip my hear out  I will only go back to sleep.  If you rip my heart…

  • Rebrush

    “There’s a whole song for it.  And I can’t believe you have never heard it before.”  “Have I ever heard a love song before?  Of course I have.”  Zachary rebrushed his hair to his original cut and brush.  The fact he was still brushing and rebrushing his hair after thirty minutes meant he was just delaying his leaving time.  I knew…

  • Shake It Up

    “I intend to shake things up,” my roommate said.  “No one is going to be able to stop me when I get everything started.”  Mallory did a little dance as she tried to pump herself up.  She was performing  at her first open mic night and reading some of her poetry.  It was her chance for a…

  • Deep in the Woods

    I always knew that my life could get better, I just didn’t know how.  I knew I had finally come home.  That I was here.  And I wouldn’t ever leave.  I could finally take a deep breath and fill it with fresh air and no fumes.  I could look up at the sky and see…

  • Summer Again

    I never wanted summer to   end. I cried every  September first  knowing you might not  come back to me.  I worked away the school year  to wish away the summer  dreaming was always my best  quality.  Especially in the hot summer sun.  Every year I cried  drowned  coped  knowing you would never love me  as much…

  • Love

    I knew I loved you the first time I saw you.  I had to train myself to sit on my hands so I wouldn’t touch you during class.  I wanted so badly to be with you and next to you that I had a hard time sleeping.  I even started wearing makeup and stopped wearing sweatpants to class every day.  The…

  • Flowers

    I watched the flowers bloom   right before my eyes.  I was green with envy  but not as beautiful as their stems.  I wanted to love them.  Their beauty enraged me  just as it betrayed my heart.  I wanted you to love me  just as much as you loved them.
