My journal would be empty without you

I asked my father and he already knew

My mom keeps a poker face when the soldier comes around

I can’t help but know he was meant to go down

The mop splishes and splashes against the grey floors

The roses I your cheeks I will always adore

My feet are too big to fit in my shoes

I want it all now but I don’t want to lose

The fever in her eyes burns like a volcano

When he screams out “Hey Now” I want to yell “Hey no”

My body vibrates in accordance with it

I wish to crave darkness but lightness is lit

I’ve done something wrong and now I will be blamed for it

I wish to be standing but I still might sit

My friend doesn’t answer the phone when it rings

The birds make their nests and the best of the best sings

What are you looking at, she says with a vengeance

The wound is so deep but it will be better when she mends it

A balloon pops midair when it can’t get enough

A diamond is rare and a melody tough

To follow especially when you have a bad day

All I want is to go

And not at all to stay
