Little Secrets


a small
metel box
sits inside
my heart
it stays locked
for I have thrown
the key away
I do not want to open
this little trove
of awful secrets
and thoughts
for I am afraid
if I do
I will fall
into the awful world
of loneliness
and feel isolated
from everything
I love
for this little box
carries all the little
secrets and thoughts
that I have shoved away
it carries emotions
mixed ones
like sadness and betrayel
mixed up
and thoughts
that make me lay away
at night
wondering if they are true
So I lock them up
and if anyone finds them...

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
