War Zone

He glared so far away,

and yet so close that i could touch

he’s mad

i’m mad

everyday i’ve been trapped

everyday we talked, in my heart a war raged

the storm brewed

my head spiraled out of control

i let it all out

knowing he wouldn’t return the same desires

looking back it was stupid, why would i say that?

“I would love to wake up next to you, i would love to call you mine, everyday these feelin...

Pink Lily

As she floated down the stream, although she couldn’t be there, she saw one pink lily of all the days she had never seen one before, at that moment she knew she knew of all the great things to come, the bumpy road that we would cross, she knew i was a girl and she knew my mother was going to be alright, she had wanted to be there really truly did but unfortunately someone was there that made her u...

Time Of Death

How will i tell him,

the love of his life

has passed?

He had trusted me with her life,

that i couldn’t save her

there will be nothing more to be said

other that she’s gone,

Any Other Day

Entry 86 Elizabeth,

She was old, had white hair tied into a short pony tai...

What About Me?

Was it too much to ask?


For you to fight? To stay?


Was I too much for you?


Wouldn’t you have liked to see me now?


How I long to see you now


My desire for your advice is torturous


The little memories from you i cherish


I would be eager for one conversation


Are you in a better place now?


Do you feel pain, or regret?


They tell me everything happens for a reason


I must take my leave,

A Dim Life

Without you, I wouldn’t have saw the light


I wouldn’t have made it though the darkness


if you weren’t there


who would illuminate all the dark places in my mind or in my life.


Sometimes I wonder if I could’ve made it without,


Even though I know I couldn’t have.


I pulled so many beautiful flowers,


And yet for you, I couldn’t pull out the roots.


No matter how hard I tried you continued...
