Real World

The wind takes me
Out of my element
Away
From the world
I've learned to know
Into
A place where only you
Can see me
Touch me
How I wish this place
Could be reality
For in the real world
You don't even know
My name

Lost at Sea

Lost at sea
My mind floats in and out of thoughts
Of you and me

The waters are calm
Perhaps this time
I will find my way home
To you and me

But as if it could sense my smile
The waves come crashing in
On the mere thought
Of you and me

Maybe we were always meant to be
Lost at sea
Forever, you and me

Ekphrasis

Descent to the Mediterranean

Walking alone
In a world where you are only one
Nonexistent, in the big picture

In your eyes you are something
But to others, you are
Nonexistent, in the big picture

Maybe one day you will find someone
To walk with you, hand in hand, and together you will be
Nonexistent, in the big picture

Sestina

The End

The curtain falls

On your mystifying, crazed act

You look about the empty room

To find all but teddybears sitting up in a line

You whimper as tears start

Trinkling, one by one down your face

Smearing the mascara across your face

You begin to realize how far you have fallen

Where could you even begin to start

To try and fix this ugly act

Throwing the bears all out of line

You walk over to the lonely mirror in the room

The glass is shattered, no more room

For failure on your lonely face

You have stepped across the line

Now all you can do is continue to fall

Putting on a smile, you act

Like nothing is wrong, a clean start

Making your way out, you start

Running towards his room

Thinking about him, the way he acted

Brings tears once again to your pale face

Walking in, you break, and fall

To the floor, seeing his pictures across the dresser in a line

"I will never leave you" was his favorite line

How he couldn't wait to start

Your life together, how in depth you fell

In love with that boy, in this very room

You collapse at the thought of his last goodbye

Here was the end of the final act

This was where the act

Of love and forever broke out of line

The last place you saw his smiling face

The tragic end to such a beautiful start

It brings nightmares, this horrible room

This is where he left you, where you began to fall

You decide it is time for your final act, decide not to start

But finish, for you yourself are out of line in this tragic room

Glancing at his framed face one last time, you know it is your time to fall

Numb

Numb

Tears drip down my face

Roll past my aching heart

And fall to the floor

I'm surprised I still have tears left

After all these months of sorrow

How I thought I was over you

You were dead in my heart

Vacant from my mind

Until the night

That fateful night

Your chose to pick up your phone

Dared to dial my number

I almost didn't pick up

Your voice struck me like a broken chord

The rush in my heart

Butterflies in my stomach

Immediately came over me once again

I hate you for it

My weaknesses you know all too well

I wish you could see

Could feel

Could know

All the tears I've cried over you

All the sleepless nights I've spent

Rattling my brain for ways to make you love me

I wish you could understand the fact

That I would have done anything for you

Anything to make me good enough in your eyes

And now you think

You can just call and everything will be okay

But no

I'm done being your last resort

It's your turn to hurt

Your turn to feel the pain

For I cannot anymore

I am already numb

Clueless

Clueless

My phone beckons to play your ringtone
My ears long to hear your broken voice
My lips ache to feel the coolness of yours against them
My hands reach out to lock fingers with yours
My eyes beg to see your smile one last time
Because don’t you know,
That my hearts been breaking ever since you said goodbye

Clockwork

Clockwork

Our time is wearing thin
I gave you my best
Now I know that will never be enough
I tried so hard to keep you here
Tick-tock-tick-tock
Too little time for never ending words
We’ve tried once too many
Never again will I be the one putting in the effort
For a contest with no reward
Tick-tick-tick-tick
It’s about to blow, everything we’ve every known
Don’t try and stop it
Were better off not knowing what could have been
What should have been
Tick
Tick
Boom
Everything is gone
No more us, together, forever
Now it’s just you, and me
The way it always will be
