I rip my heart out

And and then my hair falls out

The time ticks on the clock

My time is running out

In my chest is a gaping wound

And I let it bleed out

The crimson staining the floor

As I plead ‘help me, now’!

My friends are hollowed out

And they stare blankly at me

And every time I plead for help

They look at me like I’ve asked for my eggs, over easy

Every time my heart bleeds out,

I run to...

Rowboats and shnitzel

Women and yachts

Tracksuits and water polo

Long walks in the park

Smiles and puddles

Rainbows and snow

Spring and the sea

Old forgotten moments of

You and me

Fragment and fractions

Glass and wreckage

Sailboats on rooftops

Liquor and fresh cuts

Silent pining and forgotten yearning

Coffee and rosemary

Stuck on my memories

Old forgotten moments

Of you and me

Chaos and chocolate...

I wasn’t aware it existed

Not when I was a kid

And yet, in every way

I expressed myself

It was there, always in place

And then as I got older

I realized the value of it

Middle School can really

Kill it and christen it

Once again

And the I became a teenager

And soon everyone faked it

Everyone pretended like

They know what they were doing

And so we all stood

Never with out hearts on out sleeves

We ...

I thought I let her go

Truly, I really did

I think my memory tries to deceive me

Or it might just be the monsters under my bed

And there she was

A ghost of the past

Standing behind me

A reminder of words I can’t take back

She’s the ghost in my closet

Amidst all the other skeletons there

She whispers in my ear

“You’re not worth it, ya little snitch

Just go back to bed”

She’s hovering over my should...

I stubbed my toe

Wringing out a stream of cuss words

And soon after, my left foot stung

And the anger that the chair was left in my bones

For hours after

Last night I watched

The Fault In Our Stars

All alone

With a pint of ice cream

Bawling

I saw him last night

On a date he brought me flowers

And my heart swelled

With a feeling I couldn’t

Beer to describe

My plant dies today

It’s leaves wilted...

I wasn’t aware it existed

Not when I was a kid

And yet, in every way

I expressed myself

It was there, always in place

And then as I got older

I realized the value of it

Middle School can really

Kill it and christen it

Once again

And the I became a teenager

And soon everyone faked it

Everyone pretended like

They know what they were doing

And so we all stood

Never with out hearts on out sleeves

We ...

I think I just met the happiest person in the world

She was on her death bed, weak and old

And yet she smiled like she had won the lottery,

Not like her soul was getting sold

To the devil, or the Lord

In fact I don’t think her to be religious,

Not at all!

She hand my hand in hers, and told me

Her eternally wise words

She said “no matter what you do

Always aim to be first”

She continued on, coughi...

If a girl is smart

It comes to her naturally

If a girl is failing

She won’t be studying

If a girl likes a guy

She’s wasting her life

And if a girl wishes to be single

She thinks herself a prize

If a girl wishes to get married

Then where are the children and strollers

But if a woman wishes to work

She’s too driven, too passionate

If a woman acts out

She’s lost all discipline

If a woman doesn’t s...

The world slows when it rains

It slows down moment

While the rest of the world spins

Maybe I’m insane

But the rain begs for romance

Dramatic love confessions

And the screen blacking out

With a love that’s come to fruition

The rain pours softly

To those who sit alone

On a bench, with an umbrella

Wishing instead that it was the first snow

Snow is magic

In small whit tufts

And while the outside chill...

Paper boats

The scents of lemons

And tears

Smell that bring back

The memories I fear

The smell of detergent

And dirt under my nails

The rustic tinge in the air

I’d never be the same

I remember seeing red

And the all I saw was black

A weird thud followed me hitting my head

And now I won’t dare to look back

I force myself to therapy

“How were you this week”

I just was to sigh and then swear her out
