Guilty
Hurry, wash your hands. Her scent has found it’s way all over your body. You smell of her excitement, adrenaline, trust. Get rid of it! Get her off of you! She is not you. You are done with who she is and cannot carry her into the future with you.

Little things started grabbing my attention more. The way your hair moved, what you did with your hands when you weren’t talking, your smile, when you got changed, when you were scared and grabbed onto me, when you cried, when I saw you look at me in the corner of my eye, or when our eyes met after you did something stupid, but adorable. I was noticing little things because they made me feel...

Coffee Rings pt 2
Finally, after endless amounts of cleaner and scrubbing, my tables are clear. They’re clean, spotless, bright, visible. In fact I put a runner on it. And a vase with a couple flowers in it, too. Also, I keep the front door locked. The backdoor has a permanent bar across it. And my basement door was welded to the frame. Oh, yeah, and I put bars on my windows too. Over the week, in the middle of...

The Devil Dances
You can take my hand. In fact that dress looks nice on you. You blush, I can tell it’s not often someone’s this nice to you. Shame that I’m just playing and don’t really find you different from any other girl I’ve said this too. You’re beautiful though. I really do mean it. I’ll spend my pay cheque on you, and give you butterflies. You’ll stay up all night thinking about me, smiling, thinking I...

Hello, how you doin’ miss distant?
Care to tell me the reasons you’ve been missin’?
Somethin’ tells me you feel a little different
Ever since your attitude’s become somewhat dismissive
I think you’re hiding something you want someone to know
You’re trying not to show but you want someone to open the door
That smile may work on others but I can see...

So after he watched me cry, keeping his hand on me the whole time, I asked him, “what does it mean when they just get up and leave in your greatest times of need?”
He looked away from my eyes, and said “they’ve got better things to do than to keep you safe.” His eyes met mine, and he cupped my cheek with his warm, dry hands. He told me, “His heart is not where...

For the first time ever, she sat in her car with her seatbelt on, hands both on the wheel, keys to the ignition in her lap. She was staring straight ahead at nothing, in the parking lot. Her favourite saddest song playing in her head. Images of you flashing by; laughing, cuddling, making her feel better. You always made her feel better somehow. Things started getting blurry for her as her eyes...

She said, “I’m a sentimental motherfucker.”
I said, “that’s cool. I’m romantic, sensitive too.”
She said “I’m sensible.”
We could probably work for two.

this is what it feels like
I came home to an empty apartment, a dark one at that, took off my shoes and turned on the living room light, like any other night. Threw my bag against the wall, took off my bra, took off my socks, took off my pants, threw them on the bed. Opened the door to the patio, stood 200 feet in the air, leaned my head over the railing, and let the tear drop, just a single tear drop, fall. Felt a...

What am I doing?
I’m laying in bed, on my stomach, staring into space at 2:36 am, feeling the need to document this moment because it feels important. I’m wondering, where do I begin? I know I would like to start new. I’m trying to figure out what should be my first move in order to prepare for a mysterious journey, I’m hoping, will take me somewhere I can find myself at peace with myself...

I was in my room for 6 hours today
Didn’t feel like talking so I wrote down what I wanted to say if I had the space
In my mind to accommodate what others may
Give to me with a certain lie, of “how are you?” “I’m feelin’ fine”
Mind If I, walk into your brain? FOr the day? Investigate
Figure out your ways and board your train, of thought
That sees no...

babies and iphones
Today at work this little minion of a child shoved an iphone at me. I was like “oh, yo gabba gabba!” She replied “gabba gabba.” This little minion barely had hair, couldn’t even form a sentence, yet knew her way around an iphone better than my Grandma after 2 thorough lessons on how to use it. The way her little hands were able to hold the phone, let alone tap the...

dreams of a broken girl
She sits for hours, we’ve all seen her. She sometimes hunts through her bag pulling out an empty hand. Sometimes she does that more than twice. She sometimes looks up from her book. Actually, she does that quite often. Sometimes I think she’s not actually reading. She smiles upon eye contact with a stranger who looks away from her friendly, maybe even eager, face. She coughs a lot. As...
