  • Comfortable

    I wanted to be comfortable   In my own skin  I wanted to love myself  As much as you love me.  I wanted to look like her  But she was impossible to replicate. 

  • Real

    Life was almost real  You disappeared from my soul  Never to return  When you left me, I  thought about jumping off the  ship.  But I stayed for  Hoping you would find  me once again.  But I should  have known better.  You   were mine only for   a minute.  I wanted to  love you forever.  Forever a farce.  I wanted to believe…

  • You Don’t Know Me

    “When you see me, please pretend like you don’t know me.  You don’t know me, you don’t know me,” I thought.  I closed my mouth and hoped that I didn’t actually say that out loud.  Nobody around me seemed startled so maybe I did just think it to myself.  Mr. Garcia, my Calculus teacher, had just entered the small restaurant on…

  • Rising

    My heart lifted  Then broke into pieces  When the sky started falling  It emulated my feelings  But I was determined to rise  To fly and to breathe  To hope  To play  I knew what I wanted to do  The problem was  finding  a  way   to   rise  

  • 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…

  • Not Funny

    I told him it wasn’t funny  But still he continued.  I told him I felt ugly  And still he agreed.  I asked him to come over  But he had better things to do.  I wanted to be serious  But he had other girlfriends.  I tried to help  And he called somebody else.  I loved to…

  • He never told me

    He never told me your name  But he flaunted you  in front of my friends.  He waited too long to tell me  then acted like it was okay.  That I was okay.  Like it was normal to see  both of us at the same time  Want to split dinner?  Split drinks?  My heart refused to…

  • Strangers

    She told me to   never talk to strangers.  Nothing good would come of it.  Only fear  or loathing.  Maybe a little bit of stalking.  But I couldn’t help myself.  I can’t not talk  to someone.  My mouth opens, then shuts.  I almost don’t know what  to say.  His eyes were too  Beautiful. 

  • Moon

    The bright moon shines down  Leading me away from life  Showing me the way.  I never knew how far  My life could lead me astray  Until the moon sank.  My life was over  As I knew it.  Then you came  Back and it started. 

  • Wild Rose

    Wild roses bloom free  Bloom lush and vibrant.  Careful  To not touch the young.
