We Were Meant To Be Broken
Blood is never beautiful
Yet we were made to bleed
Hearts were meant for breaking
Eyes were made for crying
Hands were made for hurting
We were meant to break

2020 Fall
As the evenings got darker
And the days got colder
We became closer
As the leaves were whisked away
We began online school days
And became inseparable

Fall Forgetfulness
It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen your face
That I’m starting to forget
The color of your eyes
And the way you smile
But I’ll always remember
The way you cared
The leaves fall

Fall and Winter
I spent fall with you
And fell into your frigid winter embrace
We went trick-or-treating in the dark
And we took walks in the park
But in the end
You were colder than winter

Gone But Not Forgotten
I open the gates
And take a trip down memory lane
Everything’s changed since then
My childhood is gone but not forgotten
I remember riding my bike on the driveway

Bad Breath
She is not really gone
She is right here
She is not really lost
She's only at college
becoming a
a sister that I do not know
a girl beyond creation

Today
I do not write happy things.
Today I will.
Today I will breathe
ignore the sick feeling growing
in the back of my throat.
Today I will drink water
feel it burn the raw throat

Australia
At school we draw in the margins of our notebook paper
and toy with the idea of moving to Australia.
We look up the latest news in between classes, knowing that
the teachers will think we're addicted to our phones.

After the fifth day of November
note: partially inspired by Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese"
and for my mom
i want you to sit and stare at the glistening horizon.

poem turned rant
I had an idea
I wanted to spill all my anger into the page
so why is it always so hard to write
