Secrets
I’ll drown myself in silence just to see the others floating breathing in salt air and soaking in the sun. My reality is quiet, and dark like the bottom of the sea. No one in sight, no one to confide in. Cause if I open my mouth to breathe and my secrets come out, the…

Hurricane
You weren’t easy to wash away, but you were never easy to get to either. I guess we just lost our way In this forest of memories, delirious. Allusions and cheap thrills are all the rage these days. I chased the sunrise over my thunder of a life for eight years Thinking it was you,…

rip
The girl you fell in love with wasn’t who you thought she was. She starred in her own movies you directed, And as soon as you screamed “cut” her face fell back to reality. It wasn’t enough to throw roses at her feet, she couldn’t even stand to be in the same room as herself…

The moment I knew
I didn’t love you anymore the second the arms I once felt whole in began to suffocate my soul I didn’t love you anymore when my body told me that your touch burned and wasn’t safe anymore I didn’t love you anymore when I was drowning and you weren’t the life boat you promised me…

Snakes and Daggers
I’ll reinvent myself a million times before I let your cold dagger into my heart. I bleed glitter and I am friends with snakes; you should really know better. -emc

Disastrous
You were a unexpected wave in my ocean of plans I crafted out of chaos and heartbreak. Stubbornly determined to navigate my sea alone for eternity. Crashed my course and shifted my heart before I could blink my green eyes. Some hope, in the sunset fit for a king and queen; on a twin sized…

Twenty three has taught me how to be free and feel the need to fly unoccupied. Somewhere in the sky I came to find someone new and bold, electric. Feelings I can’t ignore Feelings I’m still unsure. I thought I’d be mad Hating the fact of another man. But with him I don’t mind it…

Her Garden
In the garden a palace of peonies, sweet spring splendor paints the skies beautiful blue. I almost don’t remember winters blues Until I do. Here I am still, in this garden I’ve grown to hide away and feel like I’m home. The roses and hyacinth smell like the memories of sweeter times when I felt…

Birdcage
Locked in, trapped golden edges, encapsulated sadness, madness, ensnared. The craziness in the birdcage pinned her down into endless delusions, enraged by the mad rue. She cracked, snapped her soul into pieces on display, sealed. Company of one in a birdcage witness to her delirious deceptions and foolish failures… Locked away, on replay. -emc

Oak
I would have gone through my whole life searching for a place to paint my sky. In need of a place to plant the oak trees my children can swing on sipping lemonade in the glow of summers day. It’s never easy to run away and to hope and pray that someday you’ll look around…
