Writing

Pen and paper collide
And then the words come
Sharing feelings with the world
That you only wish you could say aloud.
Love and hatred and pain and joy
Build up until simple syllables
Flow so roughly before that clean
White sheet is covered in black.
So many times
Hands will cramp
Before a work of literary art
Is finally completed.

Oops.

It's been a little over a year. My bad... Honestly, since I'm never sure who reads this, I think I might just stick to poetry/stories in here. I'll stick personal stuff elsewhere. No offense.

So how about a poem?

(Note: This was written probably about 3 months ago. No, it's not about anything/anyone in particular)

Whispered apologies
Melting in the chill of the silence
Memories of you breaking through
Every safe place I hide
Seeking out the open vulnerabilities
Like wounds that have yet to heal
Pieces missing in myself
Leaving holes in the shape
Of your hands and smile
Your heart
Harsh words leaving bruises
Harder than fists ever could
And tears that quietly beg for another chance
While we both pray for this nightmare to end
