this air of confidence
i have
is carefully constructed
of nothing more
than toothpicks and marshmallows
and it has been left to melt
in the window of my fourth-grade classroom
destined to crumble and melt away
if it manages to survive
the threat of being crushed

A little death

and perhaps I should have listened to you a little sooner
Mr. Vargas
For you truly knew
That for a human to live
They must first **** themselves

Like tending a garden
You must **** the self-absorbed parts of you
The weeds

Yet killing yourself
Does not mean that you must be
Exempt from living.

vol. 1

let us run to the field of flowers
sprinting, holding hands in the warm afternoon sun
daisies tickling our fingertips
all cares whisked away in the gentle breeze

bound.

please, please, please
let me free
release these bindings
that tie down my wings
let me have the freedom
that i never got the chance to have

soulmate

closing my eyes
means seeing you
waking up means
you are not mine

life intended that I
cannot have you

the spirit world is
beckoning and there
will I go knowing
you are waiting

you were my moon and stars
but the moon fades
and the stars die
just like your love for me did

was i that easy to replace?
