Well

I wish that I was in a well,
I wish that my sobs echoed so loud in my ears,
in the middle of the woods,
so loud that I wasn't so afraid to cry.
I wish that I was in a well, 
Sitting down on my knees,
water up to my neck so the tears didn't have to travel far.
I wish that I was in a well,
so old and dry that my tears have so much space to grow.
All I have are these moments of breaking but I need more,
I need one well for every hour I stay sad because who can I bear going without my tears?
my tears are poison,
they burn as they leave my eyes and it hurts just right every time,
my tears are pain that I need in this moment,
they drop and dry up just as quickly and I can cry more.

my tears are mine,
they are me to my core,
my tears are all I have left,
so why not cry more.

  • War

    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,
