This sort of eerie grin manifests on my face
when I think of how we use to lay awake...

I plead with the darkness to stop reminding me
of the shadow your beard casts on your jaw line...

There's a dream that dances
along the membranes of ones mind...

Honey why don't you call your work and tell them...
I'm pretty sure we'll make it without a weeks pay...

Here I am; a teenage girl
Wanting so badly to change the world...

Foul odor lurks off the breath of this city and
jaundice is the skin that wraps around its sky...

There are not enough words in the English...
to describe who I was before I met you...

I tried my hardest to bite the nails of this poem...
forehead, to lay on the lines of this paper...

Forgive me for stating it so bluntly,
but you have given me reason...

I came to write about love and how the absence of...
do stupid things, but I heard the presence of it...

My prayer is that it all makes sense.
This poem...

My mommy died when I was only 2 years of age
Drunk drivers think their the king of the road...
