I think I loved you more.

I fell;

You didn't catch me.

Lines

Carved into flesh

Bloodletting a pain uncontainable

Torment visible

To the eye.

Romanticized

But I do not feel beautiful.

Why?

Why?

I do not claim to know.

Is it by nature or design?

A predetermined plot set up by a divine

Mastermind?

Or is it because we have decided it so?

Is the answer, the meaning, inside

Of the things that we feel, see and do, or do we solely ascribe

Our own estimates in efforts to keep moving forward?

I ask, but does anyone really know?

Lady Macbeth

There is blood on my hands, and I cannot rub out this damned spot. 

I wear my former sins, like a second layer of skin.

Red stains my palms,

Caked coagulation under my nails but no one seems to see it. 

My tainted conscience is proof of my guilt begotten.

You and I only

Can exist in the past, in

Our shared memories

For a girl who had much to say but was too afraid

She loved golden brown pancakes with coffee on a Sunday morning, and hated that the world would not see peace as long as people continued to weld self-righteousness into weaponry. She was a bated breath holding back a storm of words that clung in a lump in her throat, waiting.
