Dark Boy (a poem)

Dark Boy

Written September 14th, 2011

Dark boy

Lurking in the shadows

With glowing mischief eyes

Creeping up on me

Dark boy

You speak with a voice

Inviting and deep

That fills my bones

Dark boy

You smile like an imp

Lopsided and alluring

That pulls my gravity

Dark boy

You laugh with fire

Crackling with warm temptation

That glows on my skin

Late Night Muse

Written September 11th, 2011

I watch them

I see them all

Lonely, heartbroken, and defeated

It’s in their posture

As they walk down the hall

I’ve been there

Felt it all

I’ve been in that fall

They ask me

How do I do it?

How do I smile,

How do I keep going?

They say

It isn’t worth it

Not at all

It just ends up in tears

They always fall

Forgive Me (a poem)

Forgive Me

written March 30th, 2011

Forgive me,

But I'm confused.

Being with you

Is the easiest thing to do

We laugh and smile

The time spent worth my while

We hold hands and play

Can't think of a better day

Forgive me,

But I'm confused.

The day comes to an end

I'm alone, without a friend

Curled up in bed

Left alone to my thoughts instead

I get all tangled up inside

Doubt reaches high tide

Suddenly, being with you

Is the hardest thing to do

Dumbstruck (a poem)

Dumbstruck

written March 18th, 2011

My stomach twists

But I'm not sick

I clench my hands into fists

But I'm not angry

My heart hammers in my chest

But I'm not running

My mind is racing

But I'm not taking a test

I feel like I can fly

But I don't have wings

I want to sing

But I can barely speak

You just walked by me

And smiled

*Reflections (a poem)

Reflections

I look in the mirror
I do not recognize the face I see
She looks the same as she always has
But her eyes- her eyes
Are haunted and hollow
From troubles to wise
For her age
