Everything reminds me of you. I can't bear to change the sheets
because your pillowcase still holds your scent. I inhale fiercely,
wanting this intake of breath to last forever, it's all I have left of you.
Everything I view in this house bears your imprint, your face.
A tie hanging over a door handle taunts me, and I know
I'll never get rid of the memories and the longing.

I walked outside today and remembered that every footstep I took
was another footstep taken without you. I went about my daily business
and remembered; we ate there - we sat there - we embraced there.
Walking past that building nearly killed me because I knew you

I woke, I sighed and my eyes opened to loneliness.

My heart saw that empty space and slept once more,
I tried to wake it, but it cannot fathom its existence
Since you decided it was no longer your desire
Since yours closed its doors I have been a lonely soul.

You don't remember what it was we loved for
Or the things which brought us together, tied us gently.
Under my ribs, my heart sleeps in sadness.

Wishful Thinking

My mind is full of unsung love songs,
unwritten letters and unsaid words.
I have a thousand poems in my heart
that I never wrote for you.
There are a thousand sweet nothings
I never whispered, a thousand 'I love yous'
I never said.

Had I the means to rewind the clocks
and turn back the time I'd tell you every single thing.
How my heart still skips when you walk into the room
How one smile on your face brightens my life.
I'd tell you that you are my world
and without you I am simply a lost soul.

My mind is full of hurtful words,
said in spite and now, in shame,
I have a thousand memories in my head
that I wish I'd never created

My Mother Is Still Proud

Perhaps, in those times of learning psalms
and shiny shoes, there was a God
who would love me and protect me, as long
as i wore the itchy dress and brushed my hair.
Maybe I really would have had salvation
if I had sat up straight like the other girls in my Sunday school.
Would I have been saved? If I had kept my mouth closed
Legs closed, mind closed? Would I be a saint?

Had I lived a sinfree life then
Would life now be carefree?
The memories are so faint now,
that I can barely see them at all.
The dusty walls and shining glass
and the Mother who watched with weeping eyes
as we apologised for being mere humans
and offered up our

The stars are entwined with my eyelashes;
embroidered into the lids that hide the world
from me, when I like.
The last time I felt them
was when we walked at midnight and you kissed
my cheek and told me you did not love me -
and I smiled.

A year flew past me, its feathers fluttering
with soft sighs and fierce embraces. Our lives
were intertwined, sewn together like the stars.

You do not remember breaking my heart, you say.

But I remember you picking up each ragged part
and slowly, carefully, stitching them again.

And I knew that you had lied -
and I smiled.

My hand is so big; huge,
curled around his little shoulder.
It shocks me, just for a second. It is clumsy
and ugly next to his delicate features.
My fingers are nearly the thickness of his wrist,
my wrist, his neck... my neck, his waist.
He frightens me. I am so big
and he is so small.

ID for 2011, this is my newest hair colour. I haven't coloured it in many years but now my buzz cut is starting to grow out properly, I decided to go shocking red. It's gone more of a hot pink now I've washed it, but it still looks awesome.

Also, you can see my newest tattoos and piercing in this photograph.

I haven't written anything on it like I usually do with my deviantIDs. Now we have the option of putting text below our ID on the deviant page itself, that's what I'm going to do.
