hollow inside what I want to hear drops like pins to the tile straining my ear I hear ….nothing aching muscle sits in your palm a thousand salty drops line my lashes press your lips to my temple pull your trigger ….bang reverberation echoes in a hollow chest three words set the universe spinning mine […]
I carry sunshine in my pocket, the same place I keep memories of you. It’s raining here, outside, so slipping my rainbow-stained fingers within, I touch the radiating heat of you. My defenses melt away with every glimpse of your beaming heart and gentle eyes. Those same defenses that my tears had put in place. […]
Last night I said, “I cried less today than yesterday.” And I felt like it was some small triumph. But today I go pick up his ashes and I’m not sure how to carry on. I’ve done nothing but cry today. I cried literally from the moment I woke up to the time I went […]
