Under The Bed

There's no monster under my bed.
Just a box of memories that lurk instead.
Memories of her.
Of a happier time.
No one's memories but mine.
They wait for me to venture under.
I catch a glimpse and start to wonder.
The girl I still love is in my head.
The box of memories is still under my bed.

Have you ever regretted something so much that it broke your heart. That every part of your being ached for it not to be true.

Back In The Day...

Sat on a bench with a notepad and pen. I sprawl down our fun that we had back then. Dancing together on a luscious night. Watching the sunrise, the yellow so bright.

Harbinger

The joy of many escapes so few, To what we cling on to, The sound of a loved one calling our name, The smell that initiates a nerve of remembrance, How so many angels are removed from this earth.

I Miss The Ocean.

Really tired of the same fucking routine. Every Tuesday go to work get off at four. Every fucking Tuesday I sit at the first table by the window, you can't miss it.
