You said you would give me
Anything
to see me smile,

And of all the things 
you could give,
you chose
Insanity.

I'm crazy for you,
tripping over my own words
as my heart twists itself

Being tall means that I grew 5 inches higher than the doctor predicted.
Being tall means that it’s hard to find pants that reach my ankles.
    *Please let me know if you know of dress pants with an inseam over 32 inches

Amber eyes
meet deep, stunning brown

I’ve never noticed
Amber
looked like
crackling embers
falling down

like rich, warm honey
falling through the cracks;
autumn leaves

My favorite color is periwinkle. It’s like lavender, but more blue, more dreamy, with more cumulus mixed in, that is to say it’s not at all like lavender.

You know when you
forget to breathe?

Well,
I forgot to write.

My mind's been cluttered up, you see;
things keep me up at night.

Shadows hiding in the halls--
things I've ignored for far too long--

ink spreads across the page
in blatant color

but some kind that I've
never seen before

sweaty palms grip a pen;
slide down to the tip.

so fingertips trace salt
on broken memories;
