Departure
As a child, I thought life had a restart button once death appeared at your doorstep. Young and naïve. Selfish and foolish. Lost and confused. “Please end her suffering.” Was the last prayer I said to God. Be it a recurring curse to anyone in my life who is in pain; they’ve all vanished. I…
Moment In Time
If I had the chance, I would do it all over again. Split my chest in two, To reveal a bleeding wound. Crack a bottle open, To present you with colorful flowers. If I had the chance, I would treat you better. Show you the better parts of me. To prove that yes, There is…
Journey To Discovery
I lived on my own where experiences were always possible. Love and heartbreak. Alive and dead. Fixed and broken. I showed you the ugliness inside me. The end of us; It was for the best. I began a new journey. With myself. Without you.
Aching Heart
A scrape on the knee from falling off a bike, no biggie. A smack to a bruised shoulder, ultimately annoying. These are scenarios of inconveniences. I outgrown the pain of falling flat on my face at twenty years; however, the only grip in my chest is a heart ache. It’s a fucking cliche, but it’s…
Dead End Street
When I was young, The world was a safe place. People were angels. The streets were painted white. And there was love. Now. I’m older. The world changed. Smiles were hidden behind masks. They frown.

Exposed
You looked me in my eyes and told me you didn’t love me. It caught me by surprise; But I still tried. For days on end I tried to get you back. With every detail of your face engraved in my memory, I wrote you through stories. Trace your body in scrapbooks to feel the…
Kids In Love
We were kids. Nothing to live for, but bliss. I was yours, and you were mine. My, how the times went by. We were kids, Nothing to give but our hearts. Yours was broken While mine was chipped. You still looked me in my eyes and told me it was worth the risk. We were…
The Haunting
You never called me. You never put in the effort to come see me. Yet, You tell me you are still in love with me. I wrote all your promises down on a piece of paper And I hid them in a chest box and placed them beside my bed. The smell of your cheap…
An Unexpected Farewell
There are five stages to loss and grief. 1.Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression and 5.Acceptance Everyone deals with death in many ways. Either it be in this exact same order, or an insane amount of emotional stimulation takes over and every inch of our pain spreads like wildfire. When my best friend passed…
