Will you still be there?
I hold on to every word
   clutched closely
      to my heart
I'm coming home

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

Gray skies and
  ominous
       clouds
The further I drive
Deeper and deeper
  into the
          chaos
I'll go
It's never far enough

Just stay
 Pretend the day is still
              far away
In silence we'll lay
  Fighting off the end

 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

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

56,721...
the number of stars
  I counted last night
Over and over I count
That's how long it takes
      to fall asleep
to trick myself to not
      think of you
And yet,
      I dream of you

I can go weeks,
     easily passing the time,
Finally have a routine
And in just one
               moment
A smell
       or sound
               an image
And again my world
                  falls apart

Tell me everything
I want to feel your world
To see life through
           your eyes
Maybe then I won't
           remember
    You're not here

I miss the days we'll never have
 The stolen memories
          We'll never share
 We met too young
