lady liberty
She stands there,
head held up high
forever staring at the sky
until those men
(with their pitchforks and matches)
tear her down into debris.

WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER
the party's over;
i'll walk myself home,
silent on the stairs,
wake up the next morning,
i'll lie and say i don't care.
the party's over;
you don't know what goes on

the ending
I'm finishing the story,
How can it be true?
I'm nearing the end;
There is no future to see.
It doesn't feel real
But it is—it's all going to be over.
Months it's been since this world's been right,

didn't you know...?
Do you know it hurts to leave me here?
Bleeding, scarred, begging for someone to see,

You trap me up
Like you could chain

And me alone.
Grief floods me
Again
I'm drowning

When you are old and too tired to sleep,
Steeping like your lemon tea
In ancient memories and dreams,

When your forehead’s deeply linedWith remnants of the tears you cried

Curl Cream
I have been told
To put curl cream in my hair
Upside down, eyes
Straining against the ceiling light,
Curls straining toward the tile floor,
Bunching.
I will smell

When the boys grew up on sun and waves
The sun didn’t kiss these boys
It hugged them
The way you would with your best friend before
Leaving for a long time
It hugged them and
It made their skin the color of a caramel
And their hair like the sand

Second place is the first to lose
One message
An Instagram notification in my inbox from an unfollowed account
I never get DMed
Opening was the worst possible choice I could've made
