the silence which answers

What a fickle thing

The touch of a friend 

To be left- just a fling

Leads thoughts through the bends

Of life, and Death

No matter the love you may feel

No one will escape their last breath 

We will all kneel

At the loss of love 

The loss of life 

There are no words from above 

To console the strife 

And yet- you cannot stay 

on your knees

For there is no one left to hear

Your pleas

    To have survived this long 

    despite the world’s penchant 

    for beautiful dead girls,

    Is that not magical in itself?

    The heart is an arrow

    It demands aim to land true, 

    it leaves us

  • pointless pleas

    someone hear me

    please, little gods, 

    whoever is listening, 

    whoever hears the echo, 

    someone

    hear me. 

    i have enough 

    caffeine 

    in my blood

    to kill a cow,

  • oh, my momma

    momma, 

    you know, 

    i was so pretty today.

    i woke up on time

    you didn’t say anything 

    before you left

    but,

    my glasses were clean

    my nails were painted,
