Why don’t you like me?

Blood stains on my white tee.

Your words mean nothing.

Baby, I’m not for touching.

Yuh, so bite me.

Fists balled up.

So fight me.

What’d you say now?

Scared of a girl, how?

Standing five foot two.

Billions, but I chose you.

Twenty in the clip.

Make a body flip.

Won’t hear the lip.

Pocketing, I’m not a card.

Talons out, ...

I know a lot about him, I think.

His eyes are so blue they’re grey.

He says “oh my gosh” when abashed.

He’s six foot two, that’s too tall to me.

Since I don’t even reach his shoulder.

He tried to hold my hand.

And he brought me flowers.

He picks at his jaw

When he’s thinking.

He’s older than me.

His legs are so long that it’s

almost hard for him to drive.

He likes my hair in a bun.

His curly hair ...

“You don’t stop loving someone just because it’s over.” - Thomas Day

_“…how do I say this?_

_I’m growing, getting older._

_I’m falling into habits._

_They’re all good._

_But there’s this one._

_Just this one—_

_Bothers me from time to time.”_

_I_f he was here— with me— he’d laugh, pull away. He’d swoop that pretty hair out of his face and look away with chocolate eyes.

_“Just listen.”_

I’d say;...

I have to stop getting blood

all over these hardwood floors.

It’s on the walls and on the doors.

Crying? It’s never been what I’d do.

You said it was over, it took me back.

There went that, your jaw went crack.

The highlight of my day:

Your body was shaking,

And limbs were quaking.

Never had I seen a man-

With eyes full of fear.

There went another tear.

You didn’t believe me;

I told you I was ...

I keep an X-Acto knife in my purse.

I know bad words, sometimes I curse.

I love to feel pain.

3AM screaming in vain.

My favorite color is blood.

I want Him to make it flood.

I like dead flowers,

Knocking over kid towers.

The smell of Death amazes me.

I want Satan to always be free.

I’m a bully,

I live life fully.

I punch walls.

Little kid falls.

I have to confess…

I’m hard to impress.

Look...

“Her body feels so cold.

Swallowed by the water,

Like the stories untold.

Her hands are so pale.

It’s the end she chose,

And down she fell…

It's too late to regret.

The look she has is sad.

She chose to be dead.

With no desire to live. 🖤”

Gloria’s mother gives the female officer’s phone back, covering her face with both hands. She sobs, her small body shaking. It’s been twenty-four hours since G...

It’s the middle of November and I’m trudging through three feet of snow because, much to my dismay, bodies don’t just bury themselves.

Anger, the social distancing.

Fighting, hey, I love it.

Your flesh in my fingers,

Your tongue on my floor.

Jeez, it’s great.

Refreshing, actually.

Take your last breath.

Carving a Q on your chest.

Look at that, I’m an artist!

The puppets are swinging around.

Da...

Lucifer laughs, licking his lips.

I wait, worriedly watching warily.

His mouth meets his meek meal.

Mumbling, muttering, murdering.

… uh. I’m stuck. **ᕦ**😅**ᕤ**

Tummy tucking, traveling trouble.

Tate takes turns tearing tickets.

Telling tatted teachers to tumble.

… what’s happening? 💣💥

Maybe Maddy might make mules.

Mac and Moo make moochos. 🥹

And Might Moore murders men.

Rylee won’t rake ...

The rain pours, steaming up from the concrete drive. Eleonora stands at the blurry window to the mansion, duster in hand. She sweeps it back and forth, her eyes trailing from the window.

“La lluvia brilla como los collares de diamantes alrededor del cuello de la Señorita Carly,” the maid whispers to herself.

She dusts above the rich couple’s bed, shaking her head at the pinned butterflies trappe...

“Go to sleep, go to sleep, be careful as not to weep, for the man in the closet might be creeping near, shush, shush he might hear,” the strange woman sung the song as she did every night, taking care to hang each tassel with haste.

If she didn’t, eyeless man with a tall frame and fingers that were impossibly long would crawl out on all fours when the children wept in their beds alone at night— b...
