All of my pages

You left tear drops on all of my pages 
but I guess they look better adorned with my pain
i learned today 
the difference between a dragon and a wyvern
a dragon will burn you to a crisp before it eats you
while a wyvern just gulps you up
you must be a wyvern 
you don't blanket me in ashes
you give no warning before plunging me into feeling
its freedom to heart sickness 
in under two minutes 
and no flames come to eat my hurt away 
so my pages are wrinkled 
and covered with lines
written from emotions 
I can't define
i don't know how to tell you 
it's not simple anymore 
I hurt but I love you
i dance but I'm sore
you left tear drops on all of my pages 
smudged ink 
and paper wings
how I wish I could fly away 
to a place with only good things
but alas I am stuck here 
with only my cracked dreams
faded from starlight 
my face feels weary 
and I squint against the light of day
I haven't been sleeping 
its true 
but in the end it's all fine
I'll just tell one more lie 
and say I'm just friends with you.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
