Remembering

I don’t remember much.


I remember small fragments.

Not much to personality out of.


but I do remember some.


I remember the sunshine pouring through the leaves on the trees like it was physical.


I remember relishing in the rain.


I remember peaking from the closet in between the closet slats.


I remember heart pounding blood rushing.


I remember screaming so loud I could no longer hear myself...

Were You Lying? 

You said “you look beautiful tonight”


When you said I looked beautiful were you lying?


It was the door you held, as we walked


And it was my gaze you held, as we talked


You had me in your arms that night, while I cried


I opened up my heart that night, while you lied


He said I looked beautiful, that night


He said I looked beautiful, two times


Who knew love was cursed, September frights...

Memories

Memorise are enchanting

Like a twilit sky

But some pierce trough your heart

And makes you cry


Memories like shadows

Ripping in and out of mind

Some are bright as daylight

But some faded and hard to find


Memories are daydreams

Or nightmare haunting

Childhood fantasies

Or tears of pain,taunting


Memories of struggle and pain

Tears we shredded alone

With courage we overcame

Knowing yo...

Snowfall

I can still remember the first time I went to the snow. It was in Sonora California now most people think that California’s mostly beach and in the winter you can go to the beach but no it is freezing people are just thinking of LA so the first time I went to the snow it just happened to be the first snowfall.

Did I take my meds at six?

No wonder I feel sick!


Sometimes I fear my mind ...

Can I??

Memory

Is

The one

I wanna erase

But

Not all of them

As some are

My plays

My days

But

Many are hard one to

Gaze

So can I erase?

The hardest play?...

Forgetting.

Who even are you?


If the only memories you have left are stories you're fed by family, how can you even decipher what you were?


Are you really that little girl in that picture, smiling with all her crooked teeth?


A smile so genuine, you wonder how long it's been since you've smiled like that.


Of course you don't remember.


How could you?


You've removed all the old furniture from the house in ...

Petals On The Breeze 

When shadows fall and day departs,

I mourn a love that once did bloom,

A fragile blossom snapped and gone,

Thy vacant chair, a dusty room.


The echoes of thy laughter die,

Like petals scattered on the breeze,

Yet tender memories still I hold,

A treasured sigh on bended knees.


With faith I'll search the hallowed ground,

Where buried love yet holds its sway,

And trust that there, new blooms are f...

Youngest Only Child

Remember

When we used to make mud pies

And potions out of dirt and pond water.

 

Or when we dug for worms

Even though my dad would get mad

That we dug up his grass.

 

And we’d go playing in the woods

Looking for salamanders

Or for wild berry bushes.

 

You remember,

Don’t you?

 

You have to remember.


We spent so many hours

Days

Weeks

Years together as a kid

 

We always played together


Together.

Shut Up

Shut up

Your too loud

Get out of my head

Stop buzzing


Shut up

I’m not doing this

Not going back

To that awful night

Shut up

That’s my reason

I don’t want an out

This time


Shut up

Please

I’m scared

So very scared

Shut up

Fine

I’ll do it

But there are boundaries

Rules

For our expression


Get out of my head

Get out my head

Head, get out

Get out

Out

Bleeding

Out


Please stop

I’m frightened

Shut u...
