Poetry

  • If I called you

    If I called you

    Right now

    In the middle of the night

    If I called you in tears

    And said I don't know

    I don't know how to do this anymore

    Maybe I never did

    One second I'm fine

    The next

  • Girls

    We can do hard things.

    We can push through heartbreak,

    The tears of feeling like we're not wanted,

    Like we're not good enough,

    We can splash in them.

    We can laugh and cry in the same breath

  • I told myself

    I told myself

    Over and over

    My future lies within that year

    Within a heart so icy

    It froze my own

    Within eyes so guarded

    They became attackers.

    By seeking to reclaim our past

  • flicker, flicker

    The light flickers in my bedroom

    as I brush my hair;

    I remember that theory that it’s someone dead trying to speak to you,

    I’m sure it’s just a thing from movies.


    The light flickers again in the bathroom 

  • Hello Summer

    Hello Summer,

    I see you on the boardwalk;

    In every screw, and plank, and scratch,

    Your every nook and my personality match. 

     

    Hello Summer,

    When you're sad, your hot tears shed

  • Sparkler

    there is peace in the darkness, an 

    alluring sense of acceptance in failure 

    closed eyes & open eyes both see the same 

    but please 

    stick out your hand 

  • Cloud

    Floating in the sky

    Like white fluid still in time

    But moves in slow grace

    Swirled with a brush by an oil painter

    Yet sculpted with regality of wood

    A whisper full of substance

    An illusion of support
