  • Love Letters

    I knew what letters I wanted to send  and what letters I never should have sent.  The ones I never should have loved  and the ones I should have loved harder.  Hugged longer.  Laughed louder.  I wanted to find my way  with you by my side.  I wanted to let them know how  much I cared.  But…

  • Naïve

    I always knew I trusted  you too easily.  That you would take advantage  of me at a moments notice.  The longer I stayed  the more I lost.  The more I lost  the more I thought I needed you. 

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
