Sometimes


So much of the time people think you need to "talk things out" especially if you feel you've failed or they feel you've failed. I just wish those people could accept that sometimes you need to work things out on your own, and maybe learn a thing or two about yourself as an individual along the way. Having space and time to myself is honestly something I need so much of these days. I just wish they would understand.

  • leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man. 

  • too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul. 

  • watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
