It was like the world crumpled beneath my feet. If you’ve ever experienced it, you know what I mean. It feels as sickening as free falling without a parachute until your knees give out and you collapse to the floor. You can’t breathe. You can’t hear anything but your heartbeat and the broken record of your mind repeating, ‘he cheated, he cheated, he cheated.’ When the...

I am avoiding you like the plague, sweet flame, hardening my heart to your caramel seduction. One trip and I slip beneath the floorboards of the living giving you permission to steal my heart once again. It’s beating strongly, drowning out the weakening pleas to tease myself with your lyrical tears. I do not peek or seek your solace, running away as my knees tremble in exhaustion. I’m...

We melt between the cracks, filling the gaps between fiction and reality until we bleed crimson ink on the white sheets of fantasy. Such a lovely portrait you bleed when there’s no one to see your living tragedy but I see your tears peeking from behind your porcelain mask as you throw another scrap in the trash; memories of yesterday.

I’m dissolving rapidly and I cannot find the source of the decay.
I’m leaving bits and pieces of rotted flesh behind, rolling away with each pounding step to match my erratic heartbeat.
There’s no rhythm, I’ve lost it, and while I try to dance the ache away, I just appear as a psychotic white girl… no rhythm, only sorrow.

I may need to leave this place, to run away and never look back. There are too many memories here, and while those tryptophan threads are woven into my being, the constant pulling and tightening, loosening and fraying is wearing on my sanity.
A word A paragraph A photo
And I’m thrown down the rabbit hole once again. There are vast fields where pain is farmed and carrying the burdens of...

It’s difficult to douse the fires of desire, to dull the gleam of hopes and dreams especially when there’s a glimmer of light within the wanting reach of your fingertips. I trip and stumble, fumble but persist, pushing through discomfort and penetrating the blubber of my protection to touch your bubble and feel the warmth within.
It’s difficult to stop your mind from...

If you could live inside my head and watch the films that play on repeat, the elaborate scenes that depict you and me and the life that could be, the life that exists in sixty second clips when we kiss and I cry and you dry my eyes and flash forward to black and white photos and tears of a different kind and coral sunsets, white dress, smiles that stretch for miles yet fail in comparison to the...

To simply taste your kiss and let your liquor flow through my veins, I’d be drunk off your essence for months. Inebriate me, my love, intoxicate me with your lips and fingertips until I’m doused in everything that is you. Make me addicted again so I’m shaking in sweats without your touch, without your scent near me.
Inebriate me, my sweet, and let me feel your love again.

I’ve been searching for the lost pieces of me that are scattered across the treacherous path stretching behind my weary feet. There were pieces grasped by skeleton claws and rattling in empty, long forgotten skulls. There were fragments floating out to sea from when currents ripped at me, tearing me to shreds. There were threads woven through branches and bits intertwined with the...

Watch the lilting lily wilt and sway as the passing days shine harshly on her petals. See as her beauty is tarnished by violent rays and sprays of heat eat at her illustrious skin. Cry as she dies another summer’s end wishing to bend the arc of time for another week of life.
Watch as the lilting lily sings her last until winter’s past and she’s born again.

“New recruit in room 430,” Hannah slid the clipboard across the desk to me. “He’s cute too.”
“I always told momma I wanted to find a husband in the psych ward,” I replied with a smile and a southern accent for an added laugh. Hannah chuckled, walking away as I read the patient’s name, stopping my heart dead. It couldn’t be true.
But as my walk down the dismal corridor came to an end it...

Do you ever wonder if your wounds will heal? If the scars will fade? If your breaks will ever cease their pulsing ache? Do you ever wonder if you’ll make it through a day without having to keep a straight face as you’re silently pushing tears away? Do you ever wonder if you’ll be whole again instead of trying to fill your holes with balled up nostalgia and hollow glee? Do you...

Let me live in another body’s head tonight because I’m tired of the fables and lies I whisper in my ears once I close my eyes. Lachrymose butterflies under moonlit skies flutter morose lullabies to accompany my heart’s demise.

You sparkle like stars in a cloudless sky, so high above me, completely out of my reach. You shimmer like sunsets reflected on rolling waves, slipping between my fingers, impossible to keep.
Your smile is the beams of light between looming clouds, it’s a glimpse of hope, of happiness, of forgotten dreams laid to rest and woven within the seams of my dreamscapes turned night terrors.
You...

See beneath her smiling eyes the lies she sighs to cry herself to sleep. It’s a sickness, mental illness, and she’d probably be safer in a padded room far away from anyone who could love her, unreachable by those she could hurt. Her kiss is venomous and her touch of leprosy will send one spiraling into the abyss of no return.
Remember when we use to sit and stare at the moon and...
