My grandparents used to go on a date every week, To see what the cheapest meal they could find was,Often they landed at some chain burger joint,Splitting the smallest thing on the menu. I aspire to have a love like that. A love that I don’t need to earn, that’s cheap,All I have in terms … Continue reading Cheap Love

Muscle Memory
I still sleep on the left side of the bedI still look for you around every corner I still reach for that green dress The one you said brings out my eyes But I never wear it I ought to put it in storage Or donate itOr throw it away But I won’t It’ll stay … Continue reading Muscle Memory
Broken watch
Time passes by at an incredible paceLeaving me in its wakeStuck in the moment I last saw youWondering what else I could doSomething to make you staySomething to make that dayEndBut I’m stuck here foreverStuck in this never ending dreamWatching as you disappearA mirror of my every fearBut I guess we ran out of time … Continue reading Broken watch
Luna’s Petition
I surround myself with stars that dazzle, Beacons of light, beautiful but fragile, They are composed of glitter and fire, Vicinity correlating to attention required. I am but a fragment of them, a mummery, My light is softer, almost melancholy,But don’t confuse humility for weakness, I am not always speechless. In fact, I have a … Continue reading Luna’s Petition
Imbalanced
I thought I had killed my heart, But I hear in beating beneath the floorboards, Covered in dust, hair, and neglect, But still beating nonetheless, pushing against my ribs, Until they may crack, a jailbreak long overdue. Is my heart flying away or into your arms?I am overly aware of everything, Every muscle, every blink, … Continue reading Imbalanced
Someone Sparkly
She’s lovely,In that she’s easy to love.She’s the type of girl that,When she talks, whether loud or soft, Everyone holds their breath. Because every word out of her pretty lips,Is as wise as someone thrice her age,Her smile is starlight,Her laugh, the tinkling of bells.She’s lovely, In that she loves like it’s breathing. She’s the … Continue reading Someone Sparkly
Elements
Flickering flames of lightSizzling blaze of delightA glowing flower of lifeRed, orange, and yellowCalling out to me as if to say helloI will not approach you For despite your symphony of laughter One touch will lead to disaster Splashing shimmer of nightChaotic current of might Flowing desert of lifeLong, wide, and deepA crashing wave of … Continue reading Elements
Waltz of the Witch
You’re a witchI see that clear as dayHow else could you bewitchMy heart this wayYou poured your potionSet a plan in motionYou cast your spellhow fast I fellEver since that blasted ballI have no control at allDesire pulls me into fantasiesBack and forth we swaya tango of my dismay How foolish is this yearningI am … Continue reading Waltz of the Witch
Attack
Sometimes my heart races. Muscles tense, eyes wet, as my mind blazes.Jaw clenches as teeth threaten, to break,Breathing short and piercing, no pain akin. Fingers curl into fists, so hard, Knuckles whiten, nails digging into skin. Far worse, are the days when my,Body grows heavy, eyes dry, and mind empty.Mouth relaxed, slightly open, To allow … Continue reading Attack
Babel
The human mind, what a wicked creation, It haunts me with fearsome fantasies,With broken and ghastly shards, called memories,And alas, I cannot run from my own reflection.The human mind, what a wicked creature, How it picks and chooses things to remember.I recall the worst—the forgotten birthday,Yet forget the best—the surprise bouquet. And suddenly you, who … Continue reading Babel
