Mirrored Tears

blink

despite the holding

back two drops fall

to your window sill

glisten when the soft morning light

glows a soft yellow

catching the specks of

salt

the soaked drops

mirror pain and hurt

not what

i want you to see

from behind my wall

cold

hard

concrete

but who i was

Maybe Not

who on earth

got to decide we

had to be

enemies?

Holding Your Breath

inhale

feel your lungs grasp

at the oxygen

wrapping around it

holding on

like it is the only thing left

neck stiffens

eyes begin to drift

chest tightens

shoulders shiver

exhale.

The Good The Bad

Good.

Praised by all

Loved by many

Raised to the open sky

with light of the shinning of the glowing sun

dancing upon their shoulders

Bad.

Disgusting, everyone gossips

How could they even be such

a horrid, retched, person?

We trample them in our mud soaked boots

letting them be crushed in our path.

Aren’t we all the same?

Erase

I keep trying to create

To spread the words in my head

to the smooth abandoned wasteland of my paper

I will never be the best at writing

I can't seem to transfer my ideas well enough

Or maybe I just don't have ideas at all

Write erase write erase

Erasers worn away

Thoughts are gone

Maybe I'm not as smart as I thought

Not Yours

I glance at the cracked reflection of

the girl in the glass.

Her eyes are brimming with pain

She winces at the bruises

and the marks of his fingers

the scratches and the scars

where he pressed his mark

claiming what was hers

as his own.

She has seen pain that no others have.

The grim reaper called

But told her

He lifted you up into my arms

But I refused to accept his gift

You have too much to live for.

I stare at this girl

But I don’t see myself

I see a corpse

staring back into my eyes

There,

She’s gone.

Seconds Turn to Hours

You are

The type of person

That makes forever seem

Too

Short.
