please

Please 
let me out of this flower stem prison 
pull me out of this pit of hardened metal 
set me free from the bars of hatred that surround me
that consume me 
help me please i beg of you
do not let me drown one minute more 
in this hell of missing you
every second like flames 
witch each tick another one bursts into life 
with every tock another part of me is taken by this emotion
please don't leave me here to suffer in the cryptic meanings of your sentences 
dont jab at me with twisted jokes
i opened up to your smile
and the way you make me laugh
and yet friends wasn't enough 
please 
i feel as thought im slowly losing it 
as though my brain were melting 
and my heart were pounding it's way out of my chest
every moment that I'm too scared to ask you . . .
Will you stand by my side always?
as a friend
or as a partner in this crazy reality we live in 
but please
i want you in my life
you make me a better person
you make me happy on the days everything is going wrong
you help me to see the light
when it feels there is nothing but darkness
you help me to be a better me
and 
I love you for it.

  • 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
