You throw your words
with a reckless abandon,
scatter them like glass beads
off a broken necklace.
Here I am,
prying up the floorboards to reach them.
I'd ask you to help me piece
it all back together,
but pride keeps
my mouth and sensibility
shut.
Your mother never taught you
to rebuild the houses you burned,
and your father thinks the best door
is a locked one.
We're trapped in this home,
the fire's getting hotter,
and futility sounds like
a knob that won't turn.
Not every ending starts with roses and kisses,
or stringing a necklace to wear it again.
Sometimes the story stops
with thick smoke and ashes,
leaving us wandering through
The barest foundations,
mourning for the closure
that we'd trade our souls for.

Literature
and even so, you stayed
I taste rain on your lips
and I know you’ve been
writing poetry again.
I breathe into the touch
of your fingers
cascading in a soft scale
down the cage of bones
around my heartbeat.
you kiss me
knowing
the colors that drift
in my mind
like water beneath
all the bridges that were
burned for me
and you stay.

sweaterse
when you've a love
in repose,
all quiets
are woven together.
all worries and
worships and
weathering
kept, cared,
covered.
every summer
warms, every winter
draws closer.
and the silences
sweeter than
heaven.

What Things Cost
What Things Cost the best things in life are the farthest thing from free; they cost everything i know this as i wake up, aching in the same position we eased back down to earth in; powering down, still entangled we do adjust, eventually, but not away and i focus just long enough into the dark, to realize that we still have a few hours left to sleep here, the rise and fall of your breath, against me slows time, fogs my ability to fear anything but its departure and i know the act of making memories like these only defers the pooling pain of the present deeper into the trench into the dark seafloor mix of distorted time and the lost lonely continents that, in their descent, left behind the very same spirit and power vacuums we’ve settled into i know a day is brewing below that will one day rise to strike me down, like the earth pounds a single raindrop into mist i know little, yet, of what things cost, little, but enough to not let go

Don't you just love angsty dreams? In this particular one, I was singing this to myself while walking through a half-charred house while trying to repair a necklace I had made with my boyfriend's little sisters. Not a happy night in my subconscious.

Beautiful imagery. I love the feelings of pride and resentment I get when I read it, like I'm becoming the storyteller. You're very good at visually drawing in your readers.
