Blue Glass Rose.

our friendship is a blue glass rose
its petals are falling on the floor
and as much as i've tried to keep it together
im clumsy with my words
and the cracks are running deeper
our friendship is a blue glass rose
and half legitimate apologies for things 
that shouldn't be apologized for 
arent the glue we need to put it back together 
our friendship is a blue glass rose
and right now
its failing to grow
i tried to bring it the sun 
of bad jokes and light laughter
i tried to water it with the waterfalls
that pour from my tired eyes
i've tried so hard 
to put our blue glass rose back together
but i feel
i am the only one trying 
because im afraid 
that ill loose our blue glass rose forever
our friendship is a blue glass rose
and your petals have all fallen on the floor
i don't know what to do anymore
our friendship
isn't what it used to be 
the cracks are running deeper 
than the bare eye can see
but i know
i broke 
our blue glass rose.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
