hey i just met you and this is crazy but i might stalk you so ask me something maybe?
rapture of the deep (need critique)
I did not mind, at least, until the post card came from Rio with the martini glass drawn on it. It was from my aunt, asking - how are you both?
So I did not mind until the post card came.
And after that, everything was a post card from Rio. When there is nothing where there was something, that’s how you get people to talk. But it will always be the same thing.
What had been easier to not miss then - a walk with the dogs at 7 in the morning, or how you always ate soup out of a mug, never a bowl - was now everywhere. And so that’s when the lovesickness set in, not sick with the love of you but sick with the loss of you, waking up at 3 in the morning and wondering where you had gone.
So then I had to decide what to do with all the things you’d left. The dogs would have to go, and the soup mugs, too. But who would take them? Who would want them?
I put the dogs in the pound and the mugs on my neighbor’s front stoop.
But then there was the matter of the me left behind. Now that was a whole other thing entirely! What was dinner now without you, or a quick walk to the store? The heaviness of a winter coat settled on my shoulders. I let your day lilies get choked out by the hedges, and then I let those go to rot, too, so that in the end all I had left was a garden like a heart.
The initial reaction - burn the post card that started it all. So I framed it and set it in the window, hoping the injustice of it, the shame, would draw you back. But all it got me was a need to hide it when my aunt came to visit the house.
Still I hope that words will be a beacon to you, out across the sea.
And when the year had passed, I took a diving lesson just to see if I could find you there at the bottom, tangled in seaweed, waiting for me.

november #3 (need critique)
i have stumbled into this winter again
the snow making a skirt for my legs
and icicle gloves, suffocating scarf
slick with frost. i cannot breathe in this air
sinking heavy, a misty blanket on the river.
your voice sets the ornaments on the wall to trembling:
i cannot stay here. but where will I go?
there is no map through this year’s hospice
and the drifts have hushed
still as the heart, cold as a corpse in the bed.
the winds are shrieking, howling at the moon
whipping branches against the house and choking the windows
but you do not hear it.
you do not see it.
their eyes trace the outline of my body, a paper
doll, eyes like december
and just as cruel
dragging chillbone fingers across my cheek.
sleep, wake, it’s all the same.
taking in the eye shadows, the tired look:
it’s fashionable anyways.
write in the fog on the windows
about these failures, draw out the heartline
and ask where my spirit
has gone. it’s flown south for the winter
in hibernation, the crocuses crackling in the cold.
your voice sets the ornaments on the wall to trembling:
i cannot stay here. but where will I go?
(this is the third of the poems i tried to write in november and the only one that made it to the end)

No one, and I mean no one deserves this.
don’t care if your a bieber, hipster, one direction, kardashian, janoskian blog. you all need to watch this and reblog it
this video deserves a billion notes so please stop scrolling, watch and reblog !
This should be on every blog. No one deserves this. I seriously cried, breaks my heart this goes on
If you don’t reblog this, you have no heart. NO ONE should have to go through extreme bullying
Forever reblog
): what the FUCK is wrong with the world. every single one of my followers should reblog this.
This hits so close to home. That boy was only 11 when he took his life. I can’t imagine losing my 11-year-old brother that way. It’s just so awful.
i just balled. this is really ridiculous. no one deserves to be treated like that. everyone has a purpose. theres no reason that someone should think that they can treat someone like that. EVERYONE BETTER REBLOG THIS!
Seriously, stop it! I hate how everyone gives bullies excuses. Although it is understandable that maybe they don’t have any self worth either, it is NOT EXCUSABLE!
I don’t usually reblog these things, but this is really important to me. I’ve been there too. Bullying is awful.
