Liz And Lilacs
Every time you sent me
one of your fake smiles,
I clenched my fists
and covered my eyes,
pretending I knew nothing.
Turn away and keep quiet,
Isn't that how the world works?
Amber Bowen Mar 2015
Brought down to my knees
Face to face with the dirt
And all that lies beneath
Thinking over again
Piecing it all together
Asking the same question
Wanting to understand
Why we’re here
When it all feels the same
The same pain
Of a different caliber
It's a noticeable pattern, sadly.

Aspen
you can feel flooding your
chest like a tsunami
you can hear in the pauses
on your rainy-days playlist
you can see in the cracks in
the pavement
you can smell in the blown
out candles
you can taste in the bitterness
of your lonely morning coffee

Rachel
i'm sorry i seem so
indifferent lately but
i feel like my
bloodstream is
running cold and
my heart is getting
cold and
everything is running
cold but i swear it's
not my fault i've
been standing
out in the rain for
so long.

Dear God
We born we die
We fall we rise
We lose we fight
We erase we try
We hurt we cry
We drown we slide
We blame we smite
We live we **write
I love writing, I fell it in my bones.
And when the ispiration comes,
It's always a pleasure to me,
to make it real..
