Silver linings
Three months is too long
to hold onto hope,
But here I am clutching it in my fist
like it's my very will to live.
I need to set it free,
I'll watch it fly across the sky,

after all this time?
I hate how you couldn't see
What you did to me.
The way my heart shattered
When you were with him.
I wanted you to be with me,
And hold my hand in the halls.
I was your first friend,

The One Who Got Away
I was eight years old,
and everyone around me was dying.
I wish I was younger so then I wouldn't
understand what war was.
Now I'm twenty-six,
and everyone around me is dying

The Girl with the Polaroid in her Phone Case
The girl with the Polaroid in her phone case
is the one I want to kiss.
The girl with the Polaroid in her phone case
doesn't even know I exist.
The girl with the headphones that mess up her bangs

Despondence Note
I’m sorry I got that question wrong.
I’m sorry I can't move on.
I’m sorry I'm not smarter.
I’m sorry I couldn't be stronger.
I’m sorry how I take on as much as I can

summers before
I haven’t been to upstate New York since I was ten years old and we drove away from our house there without looking back.

Low Battery
This morning I woke up
to find my phone hadn't charged last night,
so I plugged it in while I stumbled through my morning routine
and picked it up right before I hurriedly left the scene.

My Head Hurts
Filled with raucous noise
from more than just one voice,
symphonies blaring in my head
and they never seem to end.
My state is in the negatives
from the emotion that peruses me.

slippery, sunlit silence
Once, we met.
My hair was up, and the world was coated with snow,
and you
talked to me with wide blue eyes
and a slippery smile, easy to fall into.

Soup
I sit down with a bowl of soup,
take my spoon, and begin to scoop.
My mind spins as I go through the motion
for it knows no rest.
I hear no commotion
as I slurp and digest.
