Would you jump in and drown with me?
Brave the waves as they pull you under,
battle the current and know
there's no tomorrow
Fight until your lungs push out
your last breath
and pull me tighter
as we lose the surface
Would you dive in or sail away?
I can face it alone
Don't make me

I don't need you
I can handle being alone
Fill the empty spaces with
something other than
your face
I just don't want to
Post Card Series 27
Gray skies and
ominous
clouds
The further I drive
Deeper and deeper
into the
chaos
I'll go
It's never far enough
Post Card Series 26
Just stay
Pretend the day is still
far away
In silence we'll lay
Fighting off the end
Post Card Series 25
No matter how far I go
I feel you there
It's rooted deep
in my soul
This pull to you
I'm not over you
Post Card Series 24
Over a year and a half ago I began a new project: The Post Card Series. While I haven’t posted any of the pieces in some time, I never stopped writing. I’m a writer, it’s what i do. I wanted to incorporate it into more of an art project because I started painting again. I spent so much time trying to figure out mediums and testing applications that I forgot the original point of the series: To share the written words that can never be spoken, but are desperate to be heard. I wanted to share a piece of me, my journey, my heartache and pain, my love and joy. So without all the elaboration, I reintroduce the series here…
Yours is the
only light I see
Without you,
my world
is dark
Tonight
The city sleeps tonight
while I stave off desolation
It's palpable, unwavering,
desperate for attention
I whisper to keep it at bay
I am surrounded,
the air heavy around me
in place of your arms,
my solace
We were encased in our temporary escape,
blanketed by stars
Until daylight broke
and all else faded
I'll give in eventually,
but not tonight
Tonight I'm staring at the empty street
I Miss You
The right words do not exist
to explain this hole in my chest.
The waves crash and pull
and I can barely stay afloat,
drowning slowly
in its monstrosity.
How can I describe this heartache?
Except to say I feel it in my fingertips,
I feel it in my bones.
Missing you is all consuming
without reprieve.
An endless hallway
and locked doors.
There is no sun, the stars all hide.
I'm in a vast emptiness.
Homesick
Homesick for a place
that may not exist,
but it doesn’t stop me
from this endless pursuit.
never us
“you and me and never us: a complicated series of almost interactions,”
I can’t get over the sadness this quote brings me. It’s one thing to find love and lose it… it’s another altogether to never have it. Can you imagine finding the love of your life and knowing it’s the wrong place, the wrong time? Knowing it’ll never be, but it so easily could be? I ache for anyone who has learned this truth, I mourn that lost love. I wish it on no one.
