my promise



god damn you 
with your perfect smile
and large innocent eyes 
your lustrous hair
and your lightly glossed lips 
you are beautiful 
so beautiful it hurts 
but you don't know 
that I would love you even if you looked like a frog
because what I really find beautiful 
is your heart 
witch is scary I know 
but I promise 
I won't break 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
