Beautifully Tragic

Love is


Two songbirds 

Singing their lovely tune

Melodies intertwining 

Creating a magnificent symphony

But one’s voice is deteriorating

Yet every day

She continues to sing their song of chirps and tweets

Her voice hanging by a thread

 

Days are whisked away

 

Two songbirds 

Sing their lovely tune

But only one melody is audible

 

Out of the blue

There's rustling in the bushes below

With this impediment

Comes an arrow

Piercing the heart of the songbird


She tries to chirp for help

But she cannot speak

Her voice has been lost to their symphony.

 

Love is

  • peace is impossible

    I close the windows

    Lock the doors

    Turn off the lights

     

    I don’t ever want to leave this room.

    I am tired of drowning

    In a world

    That has never prepared me to swim.

    There are ten days left until the first day of my freshman year,

    And I am fearful.

     

    Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,

    For I have been taught to survive 

    but never to truly live.

  • Revival

    One day,

                 you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
