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

  • Our Story

    Our story always ends the same

    No matter how many pages I turn

     

    In the end

    I’m the friend in need

    And you’re the main character, always having to help me

     

    I try to rip the pages out

  • Poem 260

    I saw you today

    For the first time in months

    It feels like I haven’t seen you in ages

     

    I used to hope

    We stayed apart

    Never faltering too close to one another

    But as I look into your eyes

  • Yours Again

    When I looked into your eyes

    The memories came in waves

    Drowning out all our flaws

     

    For a moment

    I forgot my resentment

    And became yours again.
