Grey


It hurts to see empty space,
the chairs around you quietly begging,
begging to do better,
to be more attractive,
more interesting,
to just say something.
but yet-
anything that comes out,
it sounds wrong,
or it doesn't,
and it sounds funny,
or nice,
or complements their hair.
but it's not ennough,
because I'm not trying.
im just akward matter,
taking up social space,
im not anti-social,
I love people,
I want friends,
im a good friend.
but yet I'm uninteresting.
No matter how hard I try,
I only talk in shades of grey,
im not blue
or red,
even the purples find eachother.
but grey will only be known,
it won't be cherished,
it won't be tied to anything,
it won't be the best friend.
grey is only the aquantence. 
grey is all I've ever been.

    Every story I've ever been told has held a spot in my life, 

    The goodest of hero's and foulest of foes did share with me the night. 

  • Five of Me

    I feel sometimes I'm split in two, 

    Of all the things I have to do, 

    I must answer call from call, 

    And write you when you feel small, 

  • Pluto

    She wished that space would talk to her,

    And whispered to the moon,

    About the days that haunted her,

    And those that would come soon.

    She wanted to apologize,

    For wishing on the stars,
