Cardboard CastlesCardboard Castles
You came in like thunder—
wild, loud, and sharp with flame.
Eyes like chaos, smile like fire,
never still, and never tame.
We shared a bed when we were small,
built kingdoms out of pillow forts.
You held my hand...

Alt Title: A Wasted 3 MonthsI wish I could make you leave as fast as you arrived.
But if I could do that I would not be me.
5 days in and I knew you meant something.
10 days in and you were...

Letting Her Live His LifeI was never here for passing time,
Never here for love denied.
I thought we’d walk this road as one,
But love has left me far behind.
If I love you, how can I not break?
When you are not...

Falling“Come here”
You said, gesturing to the sunset.
I climbed up beside you, my legs dangling over the edge of the railing.
My breath sped up as you put your hand on my back
The thumping of my heart...

angelyou don’t know who I am, not truly—

i won’t pretend devotion, won’t put up that facade
because honesty is all I have left to give
i love you, but i am selfish

Stories On Rose PetalsThe heart is a field after rain ravages it,
flooded with drops and completely spent.
Maybe just maybe something will grow,
a remedy lets this fractured soul bloom.
Flooded with drops and completely spent,
there’s still time for a spiritual...

A golden jewelA golden jewel,
A night dazzling crystal,
An expensive gem, valued capital,
A young star, strong and real.
Eyes onto the glow,
A beam in darkened show,
Sturdy in an alarming blow,
Simple and firm like a bow.
A gem unique and rare,

I'm GoneTell me you hate me
Tell me you love me
Tell me life is better without me.
You tell me you want me
Then tell me you don't.

it makes me hurt more than any physical beatings,
it was a glimpse in your mind, all your madness,
I read about your love, heartbreak and sadness,
I see a glimpse of...

All To Be Reminded
“Do me well,
Do me no harm.
Do me well,
Treat me like no stranger.
Do me good,
Don't make me sad.
Do me well,
Forget me not.”
I painted worth gold to be stolen,
I gather the thieves to my mind.
Desperate enough...

When someone diesI want you all to rejoice, this is not my end.
I'm starting to transition, to see family and friends.

The Wall Between UsBetween us, there's a wall.
On my side, there's an empty hall,
Where I scream and cry.
Then I die, and die, and die.
I'm pleading on my knees,
Fighting the frosty breeze,
Begging for your aid,
Like a poor maid.
The wall...

All apologiesI lied, never told you the truth—
I never loved you,
my beloved Ruth.
Forgive me, if it's possible,
for the things I did impossible.
Cold blood, so bold,
seeping through my veins.
If I could hold
you, and...

The Last WordsThe Last Words
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." You said,
The remaining coherence
As you struggled on your bed
It didn't right away sink in my head,
Absolute courage was my preference
Not knowing your own preference
Glowing away in your exhausted eyes,
You didn't...
