A warrior and friend has died today
Her life taken in defense of us all
Remember this, her sacrifice
As I take her place to stand tall

Another spirit shall roam the sky
To help me for eternity
Giving me strength where needed
But forevermore unseen

I look into darkness and see her spirit
Staring back from the stars I love
Maybe one day, I shall join her there
Forever roaming the skies above

She will forever linger at my side
Defending the innocent everywhere
Despite her loss, I continue on
Fighting for all that is just and fair

I grieve today for a friend forever lost
Her greatest sacrifice carved in blood and stone
Tomorrow, I return to continue the fight
But for now, I stand alone

Trail Of Tears - Chapter Two

The next morning was hell. Cassie had feared that she would not sleep peacefully. What had actually transpired? She hadn’t slept. Her night was spent pacing from one end of her house to the other, her mind shaken and her soul in torment as her dark companion fought relentlessly to take charge and race into the night. She was relieved to see the threads of light piercing the black night, heralding the arrival of dawn. The beast had snarled angrily before retreating into the darkness of her soul. It knew the light meant that Cassie was in control. No matter how tired she was, she would never let it win. Weary though she was, Cass

On Wanting Everything to Be Right

You got too comfortable, forgot he could make mistakes, and set your consciousness aside so he could mend the thoughts which have remained disordered in your fumbling sobriety, despite the years of learning to cope with the pace of regularity: scraping the mailbox with his key, dining out every Sunday, setting the thermostat to sixty degrees, and changing despite every effort to remain apathetic about his plans, how your name became a constant in his living equations, the variable which defined the function. On the morning you leave, only your luggage and body will move through the summer shadows of oak leaves shaking in a breeze, and on

Glass

At some point, I stopped making eye contact. I'm not sure how it happened or why. I'm not sure if it's some reflection of my latent insecurities or undeserved superiorities or quiet anxieties. But I am sure that I miss the fleeting connection on trains, buses, and sidewalks. I miss the shape and color and glint of golden gleam that used to strike out across crowds at me. My mother, my best friend, my lover - what mysteries do I miss? What is hidden in their second glances and lingering stares? I don't know because, at some point, I stopped making eye contact, even with the girl in the mirror.

supernovae

"Wouldn't it be great if we could watch a star explode?" It was just like her to say that. The violence of another world's ending was, to her, poetic. If our own sun exploded, I think she'd open up her arms to embrace it. "I don't know that I'd want to be that close," I said. "That's the cool part. You wouldn't have to be." But she still didn't think we were close enough. That was how we always ended up like this, sitting in a car, driving to nowhere, with nothing but the sound of the tires on the highway and the company of the stars above us. She couldn't sit still long enough to color in the details, so we never did. We just kept drivin

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

letters on leaving.

i wrote my first suicide letter in 10th grade. they told me it didn't count if you felt like dying unless you had it down on paper like a vetoed birth certificate. i've rewritten it enough times since to realize i could never leave with a proper goodbye. goodbye is too heavy a word for paper to hold and i was never brave enough for the kind of courage it takes to tell them why. why they weren't enough to keep me here. but i'm finally learning a different kind of bravery- the kind it takes to stay. stay. i learned to wear death like rope burn my junior year my senior year we became friends but i finally stopped cutting the insides of wrist

This Is Not A Prayer

God I write this to you, This is not a prayer Not such an inconsequential waste of air, No, no I can hardly breathe From on all the prayers Wasted on your ears, Nor stand... From how long I've knelt at your feet. This is a letter Sent from a grieving sinner Written Whilst still clutching the hand You stole from him From me. Two hands ,in fact, One so small I hardly noticed When it ceased clutching me. I write this to ask Not to pray As prayers seem to have no worth to you Surely not mine at least. I ask only That you return them to me. Let me clutch these hands So tightly Till they might return my grasp. Because as I am right now I dou

Depression

Trapped in darkness, Like a tiny box closing in, choking me. They call it nothing, But we few sufferers call it depression, A black gaping hole in our lives, They call it attention seeking, we call it life

these bitter kids have sharper hips

oh, i am aching to pry apart this skull & meet the ghosts thumping at its insides. i'm just pining for a rib cage like a funeral pyre or a staircase; i want to bloom from these bitter bones & waste - (until i'm the corpse sleeping in the casket)

because i'm like a relapse (of you or youth)

baby blues cannot cure suicide agendas. all these poets do is wither, wither, waste - decomposing bones just enough to trade them in for words & kill them cell by cell & conversations bloom between my tongue & teeth or two choice vertebrae; thoughts burst like blood vessels, like self disgust (i am more catatonic than i am catastrophic).

it was a broken sense of beautiful

his smile was like dust caught in sunlight; more like a dreamy state of being than reality, like the half- remembered yesterday that still haunts your memories because you didn't want to forget how it was just so beautiful -- we'd lie on the floor with slats of light shot across the ceiling, drinking in the atmosphere with windows propped open by books and yellowed pages, and by the time we wandered into sleep, we were drunk instead on the smell of roses -- he was a broken kind of beautiful, a beautiful kind of flawed; love-letters, anonymous and never sent littered the dusty floorboards beneath his bed, memoirs of what we were bef

Wrote this little gem for a story of mine when the partner of a main character was killed. Love the way it came out.

Found this nifty little pic online. Thought it worked great with the way the poem is written. Anywho. Enjoy.
