Dream of Love Lost

His arms wrap around a girl's waist.

They smile brightly at each other.

He bends down and presses his dark, full lips

to her pale ones.

Happiness exudes from them as they embrace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up in a cold sweat.

The same dream, days in a row.

I can't get him out of my head, I miss him so much.

I roll over into the arms of a guy I vaguely know.

He's still sleeping, his bare chest peeking out from the sheets.

I get up quietly and grab my clothes. I dress and walk out into the cold wind.

The sweat on my skin from tonight's activities,

chilling me even more so with the wind.

The moon is out and full.

I think about him and if he's asleep with the girl he loves.

I hope he is.

At least, then, he's happy.

One of us deserves to be,

even if it's not me.

Pity For Those Who Don't Write

There are people who don't have pens randomly hidden in every room, every jacket, every purse finding them in the strangest of places like under your pillow, by the sink, in an empty bowl in the kitchen cabinet, sometimes even in a shoe for the spontaneous ideas that must be written down at once. There are people who don't wake up in the middle of the night, struck with inspiration, and stay up the rest of the night, writing their hearts out. There are people who don't have random lines, that make little sense -except to the writer- written on their hand. There are people who don't have their characters on paper haunting them. Butting into every thought they have, until the writer finished writing their story. There are people who get sleep every single night with no thoughts of imaginary worlds sprouting in their heads, keeping them awake. They have no push from that magnificent imaginary word to stay up all night writing about the com...

Kavanaugh Catastrophe

Bent over a sink fistful of my hair, bruise marring my face. "It was consensual," he said. "We had fun," he said. Fingers bruised my thigh, gripping me tight so I couldn't move. Tears falling into the sink as he violated me, took my virginity in the most vile way imaginable. The mirror showed a girl dying on the inside for the sole purpose of some guy getting off- damn the consequences. Didn't tell anyone. Who would believe a loner over the southern gentleman? (he wasn't so gentle) But it happened. And finally I'm able to speak up and speak out against the sexual assaults that plague the media and society as people condemn the victim. "It was her fault." "She should have said something." Nobody believes a victim- the accusation is swept under a rug. But that can't happen if the assailant is in public eye. Everyone can hear it- It can't be swept under the rug anymore. -Don...

My Explaination

Secrets burn you to the core and confused feelings have a way of messing with your mind. They ruin chances of perfection or mental stability. I'm sorry I never told you, I never had the courage to, but I'm falling apart.
