Middle of Nowhere


Twirl your braid in a bun
expose the back of your neck
so droplets of water from my
mouth can touch yours and
breathe into your soul. Let me
tell your secrets that your
afraid to say.

I am in the middle of nowhere spouting out of a wooden stick.
My town has been here for 74 years, dead for 20. The sight of you,
the way your eyes examine each 
and every detail astounds me.
You must love it here even though bad things have happened here.

A white bird sits atop your shoulder. You must be something
special, I hear it in the way your wheels creak every time you move. Even when
you dance
I watch the way you smile though lips curl upright
your dimples have so much depth - you
amaze me.


I hope you know that you are something else.
The crisp air is stronger when you are around.

The water coming out of me
gets more intense.

I hope you come around more often.

A neverending story

Speak to me (part 1) As I try to be me, you come back in my face and you know your smile always gets me. Our little small talk mesmerize me with the things you call “just being nice”. Get real, or get out. You don’t try and it does get to me. My voice weakens as I call your name because its not worth it. What is worth waiting for the day you call me again. The compliments are not worth it. If nothing is worth it, I don’t know what is. ` Strength and will I am done being your lullaby every night. You used to tell me you loved me every day. It sickens me how we were once one because you are not deserving of me. Please, I know how to werk it. I definitely do not need you and your ways to persuade me back in your life. Do not grab me by the hand and try to catch my look I do when I know you mean it. Once you leave, I’ll fall and you’ll laugh. So please leave me alone forever. I already left long ago. Just don’t talk or walk towards me. You have the wrong person in your hands. To

What do I know?

Where are you? It's been days. Months. No call, nor text. I can't laugh without, the thought of you popping in my mind. It's a rush of emotions hitting my face, I don't know whether to stare or cry. It's a force that I'm struggling with, holding the emotion in or pulling you towards me. And I don't know why you do this. Without you, I die inside. I see you everywhere, I think about you anywhere. I see you in my dreams, will it be okay if I say that to you the next day? We can look intensely into each others eyes. Who knows what will happen next? I cry late at night and, I don't know why but I do. No matter what happens, you dont look at me the same way. My cries for attention, don't effect you. Nothing I do... No, I don't know what I do. I did something that you used to love And I don't know, why

Secrets (part 1)

Hi again, you left! But its cool. I survived. You came back and greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. It felt like things changed. Like you did. So I did. It was all laughs, hugs and kisses. You know I can't deny my love for you.  We would get lost in each others eyes and gaze off into the moonlight as we hold each others hand. The talks about life, future & us - it just made sense. Well, didn't everything? It was like the perfect beginning to the most epic love story.  Believe me, I tried. Was it me? Like why couldn't we make it work? I guess I was  at fault when I trusted you.
