We Were In Love Here

We stumbled into the first building that offered shelter on that day, Dingy and delapidated, it was as perfect a stage as any for that moment in our love story.


My darling and I, we were both panting and choking with laughter from our mad sprint for shelter; sodden and grasping onto one another with the constant need for more that came with an all-consuming, fledgeling love.


Our shelter turned ...

your world

I didn’t realize

When I was your girl

You were my home

because I was your world


Young and naive

Wanting to be bold and free

I took what I had

And thought I was cheap


Cheap it was not

Priceless instead

How I wish I could get these

Though of you out of my head


I broke your heart

No apology comes near

I wish I could fix everything

But I can’t and that’s what I fear


You were always the bigger p...

_It all started one night in California…_

The sky is dark, almost black and the stars are like little shiny dots, gold earings that are unreachable.

One week ago I was in Las Vegas… With Jason, before he left me for the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t that shocked or sad, because I knew we weren’t a good match, and I was starting to hate him actually. He was becoming annoying and ...

We Were

We were

In love

But it was lost

Memories of this place

Take me back

To simpler

Times

When you were mine

I was yours

We didn’t fight

Or fuss

But talked

And laughed

Much easier

Back

Then...

The Shed

Another puff of the joint she brought and now I see it. Her smile when she giggles, her snort when she laughs. It’s addicting. We come here everyday after school and just hangout. We would talk about how our days were and what was coming up during the week. Her parents aren’t really parents to say the least. She picks up her brother from daycare everyday after she leaves from here. She will go hom...

Love Gone

We were in love

Here

But the love faded

Dear

No more love to give

I fear

Now I stare with jealousy

Pass You By

It’s beautiful that we find purpose in creativity

Often creativity is rooted in originality

And yet one of those most beautiful things of all time is love

The one topic it is impossible to be original about


I wanted to write about you here, I passed you by in the street today. But I didn’t feel the agony I thought I would. You’re a stranger I can smile at....

Lost Love

He couldn’t face his pain

He left everything behind

He took the nearest train

People say he lost his mind

We built this house

The one that fell apart

My soon to be spouse

He shattered my heart

its been years

I had to abandon this house

Nobody wiped my tears

I heard you’re a lost souse

You left at dawn

You’re gone...

Love And War

ā€œTake our daughter and run!ā€ I relinquish baby Carmen to my husband Carter, who hesitates. ā€œWe both know if one of us can make it, it has to be you! I could never raise her on my own!ā€


ā€œThat’s not a good enough excuse to sacrifice yourself like that!ā€ Carter cries. ā€œCarmen needs a mother! She needs you!ā€


The air raid alarms blare louder in my ears. Thoughts mix unevenly in my mind, freezing me i...

A Team

You take the steps up the crumbling staircase, thick vines reach for the door from all angles, determined to get inside the abandoned house.


You walk down the long hallway, the white wooden door on the end shut tight against the chilly breeze that runs through the house like a child at play.


Your hands find the golden knob, you twist and push, the sticky door sliding open, allowing a fraction of...
