some sweet and silly giggle session
that turned to tears with hardly a tick
of clocks winding down to moments
of never again.
so she told me of him,
and how lovers begin -
the heated handle of family battles,
and the blisters involved with living in sin.
so we cried and we sighed,
rubbed mascara-smeared eyes
then reached the same conclusions
we both knew the whole time;
that love is a beggar who can't be denied.

Daffodils
The end of the world is gray.
It is all ash, and what color remains is anemic and washed-out in a defeated,
this-is-what-we-were sort of way. Because these enormous, flashy
billboards, these towering pillars of glassthis was everything we ever were.
The end of the world is quiet.
Nobody shouts. Nobody speaks. Nobody laughs. And there are no TVs that work or
buses that run or music that plays. Because there is nobody left to shout or speak
or laugh or drive or sit in front of his or her TV. And if there was ever music,
it has died in my throat or maybe somewhere in my heart.
The end of the world is empty.

Stone
"You have a stone in your heart,"
That rouses me somewhat. I look up from my book and out the window at the gray fog that's settled over everything like wet cotton. I imagine breathing it, letting it fill my lungs with gray. All at once, the room is suffocating and I push the window open and the cool air tumbles in and ruffles the pages of my book so that I lose my place.
The spell of the story unravels and some part of me aches to know that the sort of love that exists in the storybooks is never true.
She loves the lines of him.
Her.
"Are you listening?"
"
Yes," I say without much conviction.
