Post Breakup

Standard

Dear Ex,

Can you please lift the curse?

She asked while looking at his pictures

She isn’t able to escape,

The songs she listen to, the movies she watches, and the books she reads

All appear to conspire against her

To remind her of his face in one way or another

She can even hear the memories talking through the wall

Sadness weighs her down like anchor weighs a ship down to the sandmichelle-brea-mod-3

Quote of the Week

Standard

The useless days will add up to something. The shitty waitressing jobs. The hours writing in your journal. The long meandering walks. The hours reading poetry and story collections and novels and dead people’s diaries and wondering about sex and God and whether you should shave under your arms or not. These things are your becoming.-Cheryl Strayed

China Doll

Standard

China Doll

On a shelf she sits,
On the wall,
Beautiful and defined,
The china doll.

They pass her by,
Smile and look.
Her soul,
An unread book.

She just wants,
To be hugged and loved.
Nobody stop,
In the corner she’s snubbed.

Afraid she’ll get broken,
so they leave her alone.
The pain in her heart,

 Leaves her cold as stone.

Rumor Has It

Standard

Rumor has it that she forgot him and moved on

People whispering that she’s now dancing

With someone new under the moonlight

But the heartbreak inside her

Tells another story

She’s still in love with him

She’s still under his spell

She hasn’t felt any single season

Since the last summer when he coldly left her
