wakes up
in the morning
with the light
from her blinds
making stripes
on her skin.
She throws
the heavy covers
off herself
and leaves them
on the floor,
before scrambling
to fix her mistake.
She closes
her eyes.
My EmilyShe was my Emily,My Emily5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
The sun in my shadows,
A delicate angel
To an undeserving demon.
Everything she ever did
Was to win my love;
I was the spring of her tears,
Though she never waited to wipe my own.
She was a treasure
More valuable than I deserved;
I needed her too much,
But wanted her too little.
My heart loved her,
At the same time my tongue cursed her.
I wanted her forever,
Even as I wished her away.
Then it happened,
Upon a dismal gray dawn.
I took it much too far,
And my Emily was gone.
My heavy arms tried to hold her,
My voice tried to lure her back,
But my hopeless words fell
On the ears that would never hear.
I would have died a

each brief line speeding on toward
the next at breakneck speed.
And I have never been one for writing

In completely unrelated news, I went to the bank yesterday to get a new debit card, and before I knew it, the bank teller was showing me a complete list of people who shared my name so I could pick out which one is me. The list showed all of their address and social security number.
WTF, bank?! If I were a criminal, I could have memorized some poor victim's info and gotten a new debit card to their account instead and stolen all of their money. I will never feel safe again ._.

Between typewritten letters
Are just large enough
To lay in.
You and I
Are crafters of flesh and bone;
Our skins,
Made of weathered canvas
And stitched together with
Sweet dreams on lonely nights.
Blood falls from your lips,
Staining those folded
Paper butterflies
You make so well;
I like to catch them
When they fall,
And toss them back into the air.
There are
Tiny,
Crimson-colored pieces of you
Splattered about the walls
And the inside
Of my mouth.
(You taste of melancholy,
And masked, uneasy lullabies.)
I would happily
Bear the red smears
Of your steady fingertips
If you run out of
Tattered parchment.
Allow me to
Spread my ashes
Over your ribs and
In the hollow of your throat;
You would look beautiful
Covered in faerie-tales
Made of soot.
I will sing to you as we write
A few more,
Peaceful endings
Across our
Broken bodies-
Beds of coal,
Disguised in silks,
Promise dirty wordsmiths breath
In the wake of
Sleepless morns
And restless eves.
I can see myself

so he could help those
a little rough around the edges
they gave him rose-colored irises
and put his heart in his throat
so he could only speak love
they wrote him a history
deep within his DNA
(lingering, and a little too clingy)
but he learned to live on promises
instead of mistakes
they gifted him off-center feet
that always leaned into his dreams;
he was tall enough to live
with his head in the clouds.

but not the kind that burns
mountains and ruins girls
made of papier-mâché—no,
these are the sparks that
drive the insane to dance in
the rain; the flames that
gave birth to a million voices
itching to be heard, too.
It's spreading, settling, somewhere deep
beneath my sternum, like an anticipatory
story, waiting to be told, giving
my heart the ardor to beat.

No one ever says happiness
is like a butterfly: beautiful,
flighty, and fleeting.
If you let it slip through your
fingers—you are left
alone, palms full of feathery dust

there was an eve long before dawn
ever tainted the starry night sky and

this was before the sun whispered in her ears

"Bite your tongue," they say.
How I'd love to chew the damn thing off
and suck down every filthy syllable
just like the rotten bone marrow it is.
They'd all watch as my body spontaneously combusts
and becomes nothing but convoluted karma.
And so I wrote,
"Dear poetry,
Teach me the ways of ripping out a human heart,
and stitching it onto ink-stained parchment."
The answer that came was rasped from a cauterized throat:
"Read your future in the collapsed palm of the stars;
