Just a touch
Sends a ripple
Of feels
Through my body
Each touch
Is a raindrop
Simple,
and small
It affects
Each nerve
Every end
Of my being
That sweet
Sweet shiver
I feel it
Each touch
Take a moment to appreciate the little moments when that special person in your life will change you with just...a...touch.

A waste of space
moves from place to place
with a shameless haste
and a graceless face.
All the space that's wasted
cut and pasted
freedom encased
though briefly tasted.
Laid to waste
that wasted space
limbs were taped
and there defaced;
the sign said "Waste"
to home we raced
at a frenetic pace
footprints traced.
The edge of space
where fruit met waste -
a confusing place
reeks of **** and fine lace.
A waste of space
wearing my face
lost the race
to the black dog's pace.
But just in case
here's a place that
cannot be wasted:
bed frame's embrace.
i never want to leave my bed again,

The pills make me brave
no more stumbling words
or drowning in attention-waves.

The pills make me calm
no more marathon in my chest
but no calm without a storm.

The pills make me relax
no more arson in my cheeks
but i know it soon will attack.

The pills make me happy
or at least they suppress the tears
but they haven't set me truly free.

The pills make me a better version
while the real me is still a wreck
how do i break the distortion?

The pills make me feel alive
yet i'm still dying on the inside
but here i am; i intend to survive.
I'm just a sad girl trying her best to be less sad.
You live to be gold -
your blood, veins, nerves, heart, thoughts, deeds -
or just gold-plated.

Phone conversation,
Leaves me feeling uneasy.
I do not like this.
I have a
10 thousand words
Rambling inside
my nerves
I don’t know
whether
They are
a blessing
Or a curse
I know I am
not a poet
Or a writer
well-versed
But I have
packed my bags
And I’m
ready to face
The universe
You can come
with me
Or we shall
Rather disperse
For, I am going
to pour
Out my emotions
Be it for good
Or for worse.

I’m overwhelmed

With happiness
With excitement

But also
A sense of nervousness?

Maybe it’s anxiety?
I really wouldn’t know

All I know is that I’m ready to face it

I might be overwhelmed


But I’m ready
I’m going on my first date Monday.
Bring it on.
