  • drowning

    the cool water laps over my arms, my legs
    spills into my eyes
    the sun is shining just above the surface in its brilliant radiance
    but i'm underneath, waves tugging me away
    and i almost forget i'm drowing
  • the millionth untitled poem

    You say I used to live in another world, one you don't know about
    but really
    all I am is who I am when I'm with you.
    I'll give you my heart, my mind, my soul, the words coursing through my veins

  • In Another Life

    I stare at your beautiful face,
    at your wide smile underneath freckled cheeks,
    at your unknowing blue eyes, filled with glimering stars,
    hear the way your laugh sounds as it bounces through the hall,
  • Like the Movies

    I wish missing you was like the movies
    that I could fall delicately to the floor in a wave of white lace and tears
    let the mascara run, but only for a moment
    and then wipe it away, my cheeks the color of rose petals

    Age 14
    Her brown eyes are wide, hidden under glasses
    She's creative, she's intelligent, she knows what she believes and she's
    ready to fight for it,
  • Ghost Girl

    I chase after her shadow,
    hunt her down, try to find her once again,
    but once I do, I walk right through her transparency.
    I see her in dreams, her wide smile, her freckles

  • Dress

    sometimes the dress feels like a soft breath

    a quiet hope wrapped in fabric

    that touches my skin like a secret i’m afraid to speak aloud

    it’s the way light moves when i twirl

    the way i feel seen without saying a word

  • what’s next

    she walks into the room like a sentence that forgot to whisper

    light brown hair pulled back in a way that says she didn’t try

    but still somehow gets it right

    clear glasses catching the light

  • Rain Running

    My watch did not enjoy my run in the rain.

    This morning before the other humans had stirred,

    I woke to the ringing of an alarm that was not my own,

    and saw the irresistible rain.

    Now my watch doesn't tell the date.

  • Take a Moment

    To you

    you who lives among our rainbow hills--

    green one moment

    orange the next

    and always blue in the distance--

    you who lives along a river

    you who lives looking into sunsets

    you and you

  • 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,

  • I love you

    -Can I tell you something?

     

    (I have a secret, and I am dying to tell you.)

     

         -Yeah, anything.

    -I love you.
