The elephant and the turtle

He likes the solidity

Of having protection,

His big friendly guardian

Always beside him.

She liked the companionship,

How he always had a quip.

They talked about everything under the sun

And even beyond, past the moon's dip.

Sometimes she'd spray him with mud, and sometimes he'd slow her down.

Sometimes they'd fight

Or not get along.

But although they are different,

The two friends are true -

The bestest of buddies,

The next day good as new.

  • Broken

    I let myself cry

    And it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest

    Exploding

    Shattering into the sky

    I felt like I was dying

    Each day it gets easier

    But when it catches up to you

  • Replaced memories

    You created memories

    And then got to move on

    Leaving them untouched and perfect

    Mine are being trampled.

    Walked all over by my friends

    My peers

    I can't DO this

    This constant emotional bombardment
