She wants to know his secret he hasn’t decided what it is yet

My mind is a dark dark place

Haunted books hidden in every corner

Containing important words

She begs me every night

« Tell me you secret, I promise I won’t share »

How I’d love to tell her

If I could I would open the book

The biggest book inside and tell her my secret

She’s told me hers

But I fear I have to many

« I love you »...

The tinest little worms crawl along the ground

Their bodies slimy and slick

Their bodies thin and wrinkled

Glowing a radioactive green

Leaving a trail of goo behind

Their bodies huddled togther

They bunchup and r e l e a s e their bodies to slither along the ground

They release sharo cries for our every breath

A shrill squeak that lakes out ear...

Little John Brown stares at the scene

Two men

One tall and broad

A green uniform wrapped around his body

One short and skinny

A blue outfit hugging his chest

Different as could be

One similarity

Each holds a gun in his hand pointed at the other

Go soldier boy, he yells in his head

He prays the one in green will win

Will win the soldier game

Will c...

The stars smiled upon us, as if they knew we’d soon join them

They smiled as if they knew that soon we would dance with them

That soon we would be with them

My hand grips yours

Your big strong hands

That hands that had brought me back when all else failed

The hands that had comforted me in the darkest nights

Your loving hands

You smile down on me

A reassuring smile that could light up the n...

We met maybe at four years old

I was quiet

You were loud

I made friends with another girl and you pulled us in

The extrovert adopts the introverts

You laughed with me and made me smile even at four years old

When we were older we were il different classes

At recess we would laugh and talk

Later on changed school

We saw each other rarely

But when we did it was as if no time had passed

You...

It’s time to call it quits.

I think this is for the best

I love you all and wish you well

But recently I’ve drowned

Sunk to the bottom of the sea with no hope to come up

The time I spend fretting over whether you hate me or not

This time has left me drained

After thought and consideration

My dear best friend

I would like to call our friendship off

It was hard before but I’m afraid we’re ...

Your soft brown eyes have a colour I can’t quite place

They’re not dark brown or light something in between

They’re kind and bright and can make me lose my words

They shine and sparkle with an innocent joy and hope

I could lose myself in your eyes how ever cringey that sounds but if I get lost I don’t think I’d like to be found

When I do speak to you I’m lost and can’t form a word

When you ...

Growing up ignored and lost can mean love is hard to find

So when a person extends a branch sometimes we don’t recline

We take the olive branch even though we don’t love them back

We hold on tight and try not to let go

The idea that someone can love you makes you grin from ear to ear

Often times though it’s the idea of love that we fall for

We fall for the idea and not the person extending t...

When life gives me lemons

I have trouble making lemonade

I mean when life is difficult who makes lemonade

We all look for an escape

My escape lies within the knife on the counter

When I’m frustrated and sad

The whispers increase

The tingling in my arm

The shaking of my hand

I want one thing and that is too cut

Quickly I grab the knife

The blade is cool in my hands

I lock myself behi...

When the emotions are too much and i can’t handle it all

I cut

When I can’t think straight and my head is bursting

I slice

When my mind is turning and my hands are shaking

I scar

The day I carved a flower

The blood pooled down my arm

It stained the cloth that was held up against

And left a pretty scar

And the two slashes on the side

They mark my arm

They will always remind me of ...
