Poetry

I'll push my dull heart down

Anytime you need me to

And you'll never hear me

Beg you under my breath 

Not to leave me

You looked at me

Like I'm a horrible 

Burden just now

If you give her salvation 
She will rest a long time 
She will seek in you 
What you can never find 

If you give her your soul 
She will be true 
She will live and love 

Let me go back to the mountains 
Back to the trees 
Back to the forest who once mothered me

You’re something like a bright star, shining bright above the world while everyone sleeps. I stayed up every night, admiring your glow, wishing I could be as bright as you.

Why must memories never last?

Are they nothing but the past? 
Or maybe they are just there to grasp 

Grasp for the moment not the hour 

Until they stack like a tower 

I am from the cold conditions 

The conditions you can’t feel your hands where the wind whistles and wipes 

I am from the rocking sea witch provides comfort when need be 

Whispers travel in the halls at school

Weaving into people's brains

And people decide whether they like

What is going on

In a split second

You’re something like a favorite song. A song someone loves so much that they’ll sit in their room for hours just listening to this one song.

Long live the dead we prop ourselves up on,

The cane we pass off as our leg.

Long live the gods that money trickles down from,

I'm looking in the mirror,

I don't match the picture on the screen,

should I be sad or pleased?

One click at a time,

one more scroll,

oops I fell down the rabbit hole.

Us. Our two souls, separated for years upon years, then collided out of nowhere. Without a second thought, I began talking to you. Something ignited in me. Something like the flame of a match in a dark room.

Let me float

In a sea of poetry,

Words weaving my hair,

Verses like seawater

Trickling into my heart

And lapping against the shores
