You plucked my pretty petals and I haven’t been the same ever since. I threw caution to the wind for you. I sinned for you. I lay down for you and I cried for you. But oh how I loved you. You stained me with a love so sweet, I forgot what it meant to …
It always comes back to the rose. Red or white. Stained or pure. A metaphor for love or pain. The beauty never subsides but simply coexists with the thorns.
Was it when I showed off my body in a way that would make the church cry? Or was it when I told you I would be there for you and you took that as I would be there for only you? Was it when I said “I don’t want another to love me”? Or …

A little Victoria’s Secret box that my high school girl crush gave to me is now sitting under my desk and it is full of memories of you. Ironic, isn’t it? Little dust bunnies are hopping around this valley of highs. I don’t pull it out as often as I used to. I think that’s …
A jumble of numbers wouldn’t seem to hold so much meaning. Looking upon it further, It’s a date.

A cave with boulders of burden blocking the exit. Echoes of deprecation bouncing off the walls. Burned out torches with their smoke swallowing the depths. Dark and dreary with no end in sight. Hoping for an end but the walls close in. Nothing seems to be in sight.
Life is pretty funny. Not funny “haha” but funny “oh wow what the fuck”. I met you when I needed you most. I loved you when I needed you close. Sometimes I wonder if prom night was prophecy. If I spent all night crying so that in the end, you’d love me. If in the …
The Earth began revolving in September. On the sixth we made a match, if I remember. And soon enough, You got to see the devil’s side. And honestly, I thought you’d see I’m so fucked up, That you wouldn’t look me in the eyes. But the world kept going, And our feelings kept growing, And …
