Someone
I set myself up for this.. to let you in was too seductive and I wanted to play. Now I’m burned another scar, another story. I’m just glad I’m something to you, even if I am just someone. -emc

Core Memories
The wine is so heavy, your picture in my mind a memory. Do you still think of me? On top of the parking garage that windy fall afternoon when the sky was pink? I still remember your black mustang the way you held my thigh. The lake air breeze, my favorite song on the radio.…

Matches
Your fire burned too bright and mine was put out long ago, so it goes. I kept the matches in my locked box that you somehow found your way into, sparking a fire in my waterlogged heart. I don’t know what it means, where it’s going, if you meant it. I don’t need to know…

Happiness
Running away until it feels like home A specialty of mine. I look for happiness in the eyes of others, In the winds of new places. I may always be running on the hunt for something really real. I’ll know it when I feel it, right? That is when I’ll be free, when it sounds…

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…

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…

New
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…
