I’ll give you the biggest toast, my dear
“You deserve better, my dear,” He whispered, filling the glasses quietly. “And I know we can’t toast... but maybe if we cover the glasses, we can do it in a similar spirit,” Manny continued as he and I locked eyes.

Secret Admirer
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. The blush turns orange and pink. It seeps into my very soul, where I feel I am sinking. Sinking and falling.

Bad Santas!
Ah, Santa Claus. You might think of a fat, jolly old man with a white beard, twinkling eyes and an infectious laugh, whose sole purpose in life is to make families and children across the world happy—-by bringing toys and sweets for us to open on Christmas Day.

Goosebumps
You ever feel that chill run down your spine? A tingling along your arm? The tiny hairs on your arms standing on end as though they are in shock of what terrifying thing might be lurking in the shadowy corner of your dark room at night?

New Day
The sky had decided to make it personal. No rain for what seemed like forever, but now, it opened up and pelted down it’s fury upon me as though it was meant for me.

you're still my everything
It has been a couple of years since that first soft and wonderful kiss between Josh and me. We haven’t kissed since that last time, after I played Csárdás for him with my double bass and my new original compositions.

Own Each Room
For me, when it comes to organizing— I flail and flop like a fish out of water, wondering why I have to try to learn to breathe air when it’s just easier to go back into the water.

Cars, one of the better Pixar films
I love Pixar. All the way from their very first feature film, Toy Story, to the wonderful Wall-E and sentimental Up, I always appreciate their deftly skilled and innovative animation, their wonderfully original plots and in depth characters.

You
Rejected—- Is a very beautiful word, It meanders somewhere along your hippocampus And your sight To Carry it, When you look at your reflection

Goths aren’t necessarily THAT scary
You must’ve met one, right? Or heard of one maybe? Or at least seen one... at school, your local library, lurking or slinking around a space inhabited by humans... and thought, “WTH? Why all the black? What’s up with them? Are they weird? Mean?”

I’m sitting here, Remembering the creek behind my First real Childhood home(own room, large hill to roll down with my sisters in our tricycles)

Wild Thing
Wild Thing, I needed how tightly you held onto my Waist, And snuggled with me, Your beautiful black hair against my cheek
