What's Left
I’ve never been burned at the stake, except in dreams. Nightmares where the approaching flame - the burning - was welcomed and well deserved. The flames never invaded past the veil of my subconscious. Their caress never came to lick at my imperfections, cleansing my body of the dry, rotted parts. Lies acting a kindling for the parts ravished and riddled by pain - hollow with the dreadful...

Preview of "What's Left"
I never spoke of death. I have yet to be graced with it. I am condemned to keep living.

GABBY GABBY POETRY: I can marry you. →
gabbygabbypoetry:
I am 19 and you are 23.
We fit together like broken
glass and jawlines.

and the next best part was nobody ever missed me.

Living Your Tragedy (edit to "Writing Your...
A fallen leaf

well tread path
now empty.
Under a canopy of rays
creating streaks of
stabbing dreams,
you run to escape
the thrashing
that recurs
when they grow into
full on blasts of light,
twisting and
choking like tangled ivy
around every feeble
crack and crevice.
In the safety of the forest

Searching for the Grail
The path of a musician is never easy. Writers have it even worse. I woke up one morning and realized that I was neither and nothing. I started college knowing so much, yet the more I learn the less I know. Education’s purpose seems to be to make you aware of how much there is that you really do not know. I started school with such confidence. I am ending school lost and unsure of what I will be....
