    I can’t explain the cacophony in my brain that provides the bedrock for my silence. If I stood alone on top of the world, could I scream? I fear my heart rattling and the crippling pull of my voice aching to lose control, so I swallow my words. (“Why are you so quiet?”)

    I close these wounds with cold water Ease my anxieties with lavender flowers Sing until my voice falters When will I forget you? I try to make this heart lively Without the soul you abducted from me My brain bruised from all the pounding When will you stop this haunting?

    Skeletal trees make shadows on moss-eaten earth /a branch cracks beneath me and frosted leaves/despite this lifeless winter wood I sense its magnetic pull, its kinetic energy darting through veins, filling these roots I walk on /it shoots through me too—sweet serenity/

    In days uncertain and unhinged we rely on pixels to determine our fate. Our eyes are peeled, but no call to action stirs in our hearts. We know the broken system needs some usurper, what we can’t face is the fact that it must be us. And so, the wheels of war keep spinning.

    For years I waited for your latent love to bloom. My wilted heart could never thrive under this abuse. By the time you gave me what I’d been craving, a better man was ready for our love to blossom.

    The world tipped over to drain the ocean—God said the galaxy needed watering. We held our breath waiting for rain; some died of desert tongues. All the world’s a circus these days. We understand now, the rain will never come.

    The sky’s coral blush chases the sun & bare branches are silhouettes against the horizon. This winter isn’t quite quiet; the wind whips icy air. Frost makes glitter of the grass, then me, forsaking creature comforts. Lovers aren’t liars; my heart’s always run cold.

    Don’t fall in love with me, I’m Adam’s Eve built to deceive. I’m serpentine lashing out to claim your life. I’ll wrap you in my arms tonight, sink my teeth into your mind, & coil around your heart so kind. I’m gone before the sunrise & your beating muscle’s dead inside.

    In lucid dreams she stands on the horizon waiting for the other half of her heart. Her chest is anchored to her feet. She already knows how the story ends. Hope dances before her, but it’s always a mirage, reflecting her subconscious disillusionment with love.

    Amber’s on my mind today. She’s on a flight to see her abuser. The kids are in tow and my heart’s in my throat. I’m afraid he’ll bury the last of her. But what do you say to a sister whose scars have faded from his hands, and sees forgiveness in the eyes of a monster?

    She was beautiful in pixels. Her eyes pierced the screen and made your heart weak. You fell in love with a picture—fantasizing about the life you could have with her. Then you met her, and the illusion shattered. She was always more than what you expected of her.

    She’d thrown love to the wolves. If she gave it up, it could do no more harm. Then his eyes took her in, and his smile made her blush. His words massaged her past away, but his kiss sealed her fate. Her crystal chrysalis shattered. She was in love.

    I feel the pang of existential dread looming. Does anyone know what it means to be alive? I’ve been dead weight for years. Oh, but to feel the surge of blood in my veins when he looks my way. I understand now the duality at play. I must be in the dark to see the light.

    Red liquid boils underneath a dancing flame and cinnamon fills the room. My heart slams against my lungs as your eyes penetrate my soul. You touch me like I’m beautiful, as though we minted love itself. I’ve never been more captivated wrapped in this love by candlelight

    Love played a six string to hook my heart, and led me where fantasies grew. He held my heart like it was precious and made the tides of my ocean rise. Love skimmed the current in my veins and massaged away all of my pain. When Love’s song ends, I’ll never be the same.

    I felt love like a calm breeze, so I inhaled the wind. The air traveled into my belly so I could feel butterflies, and loosened my ankles so I’d know how to swoon. I exhaled heartache and the jive of false lovers. I never knew love could be as easy as breathing.

    Love is a gut punch. I’ve felt its pounding & bruising for years. When you’ve finally healed, it attacks you. There’s no hiding from love—it catches you faster when you try to run. You’re never safe. There will always be someone ready to wreck you.

    I’m sailing away from every beautiful thought of our love. The wind carries me away in an act that saves us both, really. I’ll speak to you through music so the lyrics create waves on your heart. Our fantasy will survive in the safety of our minds & the ocean between us.
