Finally drifting

Riding with the wind

Floating across the sky

With pretty, soft clouds

Watching the world

Adrift

But what if

I get swept up in the winds

And these peaceful skies

Turn to hurricanes

The wild winds

I know so well

Twisting and spinning

Not knowing where

But knowing you’re going

Someplace, somewhere

With no control

And my mind is back in that moment

Calm and comforted

Realizing that...

Wind ripples around

Thrill of riding fast

Adrenaline of the high

This world feels like mine

We’re riding alive

Flying so free

The wind in my hair

Energy resides within me

Cruising through the dark

With the courage to fall

No thoughts for now

Midnights nourish all...

Our souls are stars

Glowing inside of us

And if we were to see

Inside of our bodies

They would be in a galaxy

Our two souls

In the same galaxy

I know your soul

And you know mine

But too far away

They each appear to twinkle

Showing off a glimmer

But never the full brightness

Only a flicker of your star

Reaches my heart

As I slowly fall in love

But we’re solar systems apart

So I know your prese...

“I thought you loved me!”

“I did, I always did! Did you not see that? Was everything I did for you not enough?”

“No! It wasn’t!”

“What more could I have done?”

“You could have decided not to leave me! You could have stayed. Instead of running away from our parents, forgetting that you had a sister who was still stuck. And you stayed away. You didn’t come back for holidays and you didn’t write ...

Christmas used to be so full of smiles and everyone talking and laughing; Everyone was happy and together.

But now I wonder if we’re going to have any part of that; I wonder if I’ll have anything to resemble what it once was.

My father is in another country, my brother Jayden drove his motorcycle to another state and didn’t look back, my brother Asher is trying to find something in the world th...

to feel how i feel

like i’m in the wrong place

i could’ve gone a different direction

what feels like the right direction

so close to where i am

but unreachable

i can imagine her

and then

and what they come together to be

i can see her standing close

but not in the same place as me

it’s like that girl

is who i was destined to be

but i never will

no matter how bad

i crave it

and watch her

i feel...

She forgets

Loses her memory

And her ghost

Slowly fades

From existence

And I live beside her footstep

Where her figure should stand

Where it could

Where it would’ve 

But no one understands

It’s etched deep in my soul

Crested in my bones

She can’t leave

She’ll always hold my hand

Even if it’s stone and stone

She’s there,

No one else can see

But I hear her words inside my head

I know just how sh...

You didn’t mean it

And I did

you say that you did

But you didn’t mean it like I did

You didn’t

You didn’t mean it

Like I did.

When I said it

I meant it

Fully

And passionately

I meant I had been dreaming of it

Looking up at them

And watching them

Every moment they pass by

Wishing I could get a glimpse

Into their world

And what it’s like

Dreaming

Of a day

That I would be there

And I would get t...

i cared.

i cared about you

and about us.

i cared about holding your hand

and walking with you in the halls

i cared about talking to you after my day

and hearing about your dog

i cared about you.

i cared about knowing your favorite color

and your dream career

i cared about who you wanted to become

and all your silly jokes.

i didn’t care about me.

i didn’t care about getting enough sleep

or how...

my lungs taste salty when i think of it.

when i think of how bad i want her

how i want to stay with her,

seeing her each day

in class and at rehearsal

my breath gets shallow when i think of it

when i think of never hearing her rant

or hearing her pretty laugh

or watching her from the other side of the room

because pretty soon

she won’t be in the room.

my heart beats faster when i think of it

wh...
