Standards
Anxiety is encircling my fingers,
Every move I feel a twitch.
This pain is nothing new
And now my heart has a stitch.
I didn't want to break your heart

The Ending
I finished the story,
How can that be true?
I don't want it to end,
What are their futures?
It doesn't feel real,
And I can't believe it is over.

A Haiku
Just two minor chords
resonating in dark rooms.
Something new has bloomed.

not missing you
I don't know why I texted you
Spontaneously last night.

A Trapped Poet (inspired by Emily Dickinson)
I am just like her—
Trapped in a sea of white.
My mind is just as frayed—
My heart just as sliced.
By the glittering blades

I don't have a favorite word,

My Head Hurts
Filled with raucous noise
from more than just one voice,
symphonies blaring in my head
and they never seem to end.

slippery, sunlit silence
Once, we met.

take my spoon, and begin to scoop.
My mind spins as I go through the motion
for it knows no rest.
I hear no commotion
as I slurp and digest.
