You

Sometimes the sunken place

calls a little too loudly,

appears a little bit too close,

seems a little too familiar. 

Sometimes sitting here

in this hole

is all I know

all I can do. 

Wouldn't it be so nice

not to know you,

not to be closer to you than any other person. 

So nice. 

We've gone without each other,

Sometimes,

Been a distant memory, a past event

to each other. 

But we're at crossroads again,

would you pull me in,

would I walk away?

I don't want to know you, the emptiness can't take over.

CrushED

Her eyes stalked his every move,

Her heart could track him without a GPS,

His steps were carved on every heartbeat. 

What was this obsession? 

When did she become like this?

One human consumed her;

She was drowning in emotions she could not control,

That she couldn’t comprehend, 

That she didn’t want.

Here was a free bird who kept herself free-

Suppressed, constrained by her own heart.

She felt the weight of his presence 

Like thick smoke choking the atmosphere;

She was longing for what her mind didn’t want,

What was her nightmare
