it’s 2am and i’m still lying awake 

with thoughts in one hand and feelings in the other. 

how can i go to sleep with a head full of stars 

and my face running away 

up into the sky 

so what should I say now?

that I will back away?

you'll chain me with your words

until you get your say

and shoot your shot with her

because you have a chance,

and I'll stick to my side,

Bossy

The word people use when a girl takes charge

Synonym

Feisty

Adjective

Her hands are cupped around

A rose,

Perfectly red petals

Curling to the center,

Where she has stored her heart;

sometimes you wonder why you are the way you are.

and you're not sure if it's just you being dramatic,

but you know that sometimes you feel like you’re

i sit and stare out the window

stare out the window at the brown dead grass

the dirty snow melting into muddy slush

the mud that is criss-crossed and destroyed with ruts and tire tracks
