a friend, not as much anymore though.

a personal vent <3


of course we’re friends

of course, you say.

but your words waver

your tone falters
yes, i want to talk to you

yes, i would love to make plans

i nod my head, but

i know that these are empty promises
you have her now.

someone new, and exciting,

who you can buy matching rings with

and see whenever you want.
i care about you

you say,

i want you to be happy.

your words are nice, but why do your actions hurt?
you still have me,

but i don’t think i have you anymore.

    with a sigh,
    a nod
    a moment of silence
    a pen falls from the hand
    of a writer

    something so small
    can carry something so great
    a vessel 
    for all of the things you could ever say

  • Out of Order


    I can bang on this glass all I want 
    shake the metal walls 
    and kick the bottom of the machine 
    holding my foot in pain after my show of frustration

    Nothing will come out. 
  • Threads


    I am cotton
    You are wool
    and they are silk.

    Our threads may interfere
    with the pattern.
    (With the cloth.)

    They are untouchable,
    smooth, and soft.
    They know what they want.

    You keep me warm,
