I have so much left to say to you. The words bleed from veins I never knew I had and the ache radiates like earthquakes under my skin. My faultlines are migrating into unknown waters, and canyons, mountains, nothing but difference is left. I’m cracking. Can you see me shatter? Can you feel these burning […]
I shatter, glass pieces beneath your feet, while I watch you tattoo the world with your pain. Empty eyes stare from shattered frames, collecting sorrows as they drift by. I’ve carved my love all over the world hoping you’d chance by and remember why you loved me. Tattooed walls and pain lying naked in the […]
Slipping, slipping, like rain through shingles, and shuddering, falling in between the slats, pecking at the window glass, asking to come in, to walk around, to stay awhile. “Welcome,” I say, and suddenly lines are undrawn and stars become uncrossed so that lovers might love in spite of the rules written in the sky on […]
I tell no one about you. Your name only crosses my lips in solitude. No one knows how you overfill my thoughts and plunge me into a confusing combination of dark and light. No one sees your face hovering on the outskirts of my thoughts, colliding here with there in the slightest of movements. Your […]
Lightning speed doesn’t aptly describe the paths taken by thoughts grooming me for a better future, for a time when apathy is a slave to my happiness, and joy is among the many fruits of my labor I keep reaching for the one, to pin it down, and make it stay so I can see […]
I like it when you’re happy. That smile, I see it so rarely. I remember how your mouth turns up at the corners, the way you look out of the sides if your eyes, but it’s changed, you know, different somehow with years. The way your eyebrows raise and smile lines appear the way the […]
Sometimes when I’m driving, I pretend I’m on a road trip, in a foreign state or town. I imagine the houses are different and new, like something I’ve never seen. I drive down familiar roads with the windows down, wind swirling my hair into a tornado-mess, and the music up, bass thrumming through my bones. […]
The windows let you in, open their wide eyes and eat you up. Inside, you crawl around in circles like a dog and dream yourself to sleep while I yell at you to leave. Instead of running, you snore and take up space in my attic, in my arms, and I have enough to carry. […]
I’m not in love with you. Fractured glimpses, microseconds of knowing and memories of your laugh. Five minute conversations and text message innuendo, two weeks of perfect days. No, I am not in love with you. I am in love with this– dirty window goodbyes, blue waves, and reggae music, steel drums and your arms […]
She beckons for the sun, calls him, and he follows, helpless against her smile. She waves goodbye as night creeps in, and the sun can’t help but listen. He wonders if she knows, if she sees how he only rises and sets for her. ~Patience Facebook Twitter
