Cry Baby

cry baby cry

baby it’s okay to cry 

sometimes life can be so sad

you just want to die 

but love is greater 

miracles exist 

and sunshine pours through rain

so cry baby cry for now 

because soon 

you won’t remember the pain

Capsized

listen listen, it’s my heart

crying like riddles breaking free. 

metaphors that carry me away 

like a boat floating out to sea. 

unreachable 

you can’t come close 

your touch too searing hot to my skin. 

don’t hurt me 

get away

no one, nothing, nobody is allowed in. 

Cheerios

I eat words like cheerios
pop one in then another, chew the letters then swallow

and feel.

If they are sad they sink into my stomach and create a hurricane there
I am ##sick## and ache awhile

If they are love they climb into my heart
and make a home there

I am full of ^^warmth^^ and smile

And yet sleep comes and they are absorbed into my blood s—-t—-r—-e—-a—-m,
traveling through my veins @ night.

so that when I WAKE UP, I wonder, how did they escape?

Will they be gone long?
Will they come back?
Will they never stay?

Why did they run     A      w       a      Y ?
