Snake In The Grass
Best friends forever, promises shared.I swear the truth about you was just too much to bare, I wasn’t prepared.Been running through my mind trying to understand where it all went wrong when I’ve had your back for so long.Cut me deep, I didn’t know you were capable, didn’t even try to stop the bleeding now […]

Eye Of The Storm
We are standing in the eye of the storm but don’t look up, you must conform.Comfortable, blind, naive to the long building destruction that will soon concede. A wound in our humanity, infected and leaking out puss, but they’ll tell you not to fuss. Split in half by red and blue, this country is far […]

Wildfire
I’ve been misunderstood when I tried to be everything I could. My name, dragged through the mud and now there’s too much bad blood. I have ex’s who claim I’m cold and cruel, shallow and toxic but really my touch was just too hypnotic. I can’t sit here and play the angel when I know […]

i wrote u a poem for ur surprise
When you held my hand I held my breath and your girl didn’t like that.Numb nosed through the twists and turns of IKEA, I looked at you and muttered I like your style.Push and pull like magnets while I watch you drag a cig you never finish.When you had no furniture, we sat on your […]

Unconditional
Will you love me when the filters are off, when all we have are the raw and bittersweet images?Will you love me in the morning before I’m put together, bare-faced and hair undone?Will you love me despite the cold in my bones and the mess in my head?Tell me, will you love me through the […]

Confessions
Forgive me mother, for I have sinned. The lies and deceit that I have dished out are bubbling up my throat like hot oil and as hard as I try to purge, it still burns.I want to be the good girl you always wanted, pure and loving with the ability to change the world. I fear that […]

Monster
It stormed ferociously the night you left. Thunder shook the house and lightning lit the shadows while darkness covered the time in-between. The power was out and did not return until 3:05 AM. The rain roared down, destroying everything in it’s path as it drowned the streets and uprooted the trees. I was upset because […]

Letters I Never Sent: Squid
It’s been a long time since I let someone get close to me. It’s been a long time since I cared to get to know someone new. I believed your innocent eyes and your soft touch. You. I trusted you. I risked everything and this is how our story ends? I let you strip my […]

Letters I Never Sent: Blu
I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said. Everything you’ve said. You like the phrase, “You’re going to do what you want to do” and I understand that. I understand that I am willful and I do what I want, when I want, and I don’t really answer to anyone or anything, let alone […]

The Fire
Your throat is raw and the words come out cracked Your hands are numb and shaky as you reach for their ghost Your cheeks are streaked hot with self-inflicted tears No matter how hard you scream and cry they won’t come Because that’s the thing about burning bridges, isn’t it? No matter how many times […]
