madly in love with a wall
There are things eating at me on the inside,
But I just can’t tell you about them.
I’m sure you already know
You’ve broken my heart.
I just can’t look you in the eye to tell you,
I’ve lost my edge.
For the feelings, I place the blame on me;
I was warned, but did not listen.
No one else should mop up [...]

He Un-did You.
You wrote the book,
And he’s burned the pages
One by one.
As they went up in flames,
I remembered
the heartache, the tears,
that night,
when i…
when i…
He held me while I cried,
over history.
My hand in his,
his arm across my shoulder,
I knew I was safe.
never again,
Will I…
Will I…
You scribbled and ripped
on the pages.
My life was tattered,
torn at your hands.
I slipped away,
as [...]

I don’t believe her.
I don’t believe her when she says she’s sorry.
You’ve always deserved better.
There’s a boy she kissed after you got married.
You don’t know about it.
But I heard it through the grapevine.
It’s not the same boy she f-ed around with,
He’s a different one.
Sorry to let it slip,
But how do you know there aren’t others?
You [...]

I totally just changed the name of my blog.
I’m pretty much in love with this new title.

Maybe it’s… or maybe it’s not…
I long for:
tangled up in cotton sheets.
legs wrapped together in knots.
tied together so happily.
one hand on chest, another on hip.
eyelashes tickle exposed skin.
innocence taken, but not lost.
irresistable urges lead to tossed hair.
waking to stare into brown eyes.
warmth caused by the friction of skin on skin.
While, I collect moments:
bearing souls into the early morning.
laughing til tears [...]

conversation hearts
I dream
of a kiss
that energizes my heart
to hit a home run
for team true love.
“let’s kiss.”

I don’t sleep anymore
I don’t sleep anymore.
no ‘z’s to catch, no dreams to have.
it never fails that I’m completely exhausted,
but I hear this whisper through the wall,
and the red in my eyes gets brighter,
and the steam comes rolling out my nose and ears,
It never fails that I’m wide awake,
tossing in sheets,
pajama pants getting twisted around my legs and [...]

Obsolete
I don’t love you anymore.
I just want you to know that.
I don’t think about you anymore.
Not like I used to.
But, I do think about you,
I try to talk to you after I’ve thought about you,
But all I receive is silence.
It’s ok,
I don’t really need you to talk to me.
Because I don’t love you anymore,
And I [...]

The Losing Game
It’s so dark in here.
Like my eyes have been duct taped shut.
outstretched arms reveal two walls on either side of me.
my feet drag with shoes of concrete.
I’ve moved a foot over the last hour.
After every few steps, I trip.
Screaming out for help is pointless.
My voice bounces from my lips to the wall to my own [...]
