5 Seconds is All it Takes
Five seconds was all it took for the heart to stop.
The thread was careful under my hands.
Inside of the sterile room one tear dropped
from who knows who.
No one speaks of the safety.

The Fear of Mine
"Just another bite," it says as it claws away my flesh from the bone. "I'm helping you."
She was.

No place better
A better place, they whisper
yet, its your arms i long to embrace.
they call it heaven,
a place above,
better than the earth we love.
if heavens better,
why does my heart ache for love i can't remake?

why i petted the dog on the side of the road on a particularly humid texas afternoon
because i was exhausted and cranky
and it was too late in the week to be walking home
and because texas was threatening to rain all over us, especially me. -
Buttons
I remember you. We remember you.
You used to come in every weekend with your mother and brother when you were younger. They made you seem like you were made for softer things. They used to pretend like they were made for softer things too. -
where it doesn't wait.
I keep checking
the places happiness once sat,like a pocket
I’ve already turned inside out.
