My Fallen Angel

She glowed, ethereal and tragic,An angel fallen from grace,But I was drawn to her magic.Her eyes were translucent and distant,A pearl washed ashore,But I saw a shadow there, something of a misfit,Despite all the warning signs,I charged on, closed my eyes.For all the pain we endured,Bleeding hearts on marble floors,I feel I will never beContinue reading “My Fallen Angel”

My Room

Familiar four walls,A safe haven with prison bars,Let me out!I can’t leave today…Lacking the strength toCross the threshold.Leave me alone,But please don’t leave me. Familiar four walls,Purple,My favorite.Ridiculous vibrance,Stop mocking me!I love you,No, please, I didn’t mean to yell. Familiar four walls,Adorned with dreamcatchers and symbols of peace,Screaming into my pillow,With senseless, burning tears,Namaste. FamiliarContinue reading “My Room”
