We hadn’t talked in years,
not really.
Not since childhood,
when grass stains
and ghost stories
bound us like magic.
Cousins,
but closer than that —
best friends
before the world grew quiet.
We were six,
sitting in circles at recess,
telling wild stories
just to make the hours stretch.
Remember the green-eyed creatures
who chased us in our dreams?
The ghost at Grandma’s house
you swore was real?
I never doubted you.
We played for hours on end.
You were my best friend.
Remember the clover patch
outside my dad’s work?
Always searching for the lucky one.
You always found it.
You always found everything.
Then came middle school.
Then came silence.
But there we were again —
Algebra class.
Me with a book.
You, with that grin
you never really lost.
You saw I was hurting.
He cheated.
I tried to disappear behind the pages,
but you pulled me back
with a clever excuse —
“Can you help me with this homework?”
We slipped into laughter
like we never left.
Talked about the backyard —
how you got clotheslined
because you forgot to duck.
You made it sound epic.
It was.
We remembered
the jungle of tall grass,
the ghost stories,
the way the world once felt ours.
We made plans.
To hang out.
To pick up where we left off.
To be real again.
You handed me your worksheet,
and I promised:
“I’ll finish it tonight.”
But I didn’t.
I got distracted.
It could wait, I thought.
And then —
while I was doing it —
my brother ran in,
breathless.
"Armando died.”
I told him to stop lying.
He wasn’t.
The boy who lit up every hallway,
the one who made
even sadness smile —
was gone.
And now—
I can’t remember the sound of your laugh,
but every time I laugh,
I see your face.
I carry our last conversation
like a fragile thing with wings.
The way you looked at me —
like you still knew me.
Like nothing had changed.
That was the last time.
But it was real.
And it’s enough
to remember you.
She threw an understatement where my thoughts lingered
Words hiding beneath the shadow of reason,
Triggered
Thoughts sinking in portrayed reality
Silently in a raging mind
As she sips drunk from the bottle of poetry
Excuses masking the face of her true mind
With such an intense blindness
Her love being my weakness
The past blinded us
As we try to put it behind us
Though she never forgot about us
The past threw us into the pits of guilt and blame
Provoked my words so I can speak
The truth she wrote in letters for me to seek
In rain,
In pain,
And in shame
She threw an understatement where thoughts strolled down the isle of reality
Enticing my ear drums with words of reality
A plea to pick up where we left off
Where words never ceased to intertwine with thoughts of,
Textured morality,
Blueprint of sin,
Gene filled iniquity
My faults I have not seen
Word-spoken into blasphemy
And mouth-spoken into tragedy
A product of change,
Sole-minded to purity
A dream for both of us to age
She threw an understatement where thoughts knocked on suicide doors
Wings withered and clipped
Imperfection,
Judgment its yours
Heart shuttered,
Bled and ripped
Iniquity,shame and guilt
Soul whipped
Word left to dry and wilt
Effort to shine my rusty halo,
Imperfection is what I only know
Eyes teared,
Weeped
Feet limping like a city pigeon
Crooked,
Soaked in false religion
Mind sieved into lies
Ignorance that caused us to lie
'Caused us to fight,
Refusing repentance
Wise in our own sight,
Rejecting guidance
But she wrote an understatement between the lines
Message portrayed,
I read between the lines
A tongue twisting reality,
Strings fixed and attached to life lines
With the emphasis that life goes on
Life a blessing,
Its us who go wrong
So let the emotions be crucified,
Be sanctified
'Cause false acts will soon be denied

It’s been four (long) years. Yes, long - to my dismay.
Some think it goes quickly; RUBBISH! I say.
When you have a child, the days will drag,
The season crawl, and the years can lag.
But onward we prevail, with our heads held high,
(and sick in our hair, and snot down the tie)
It’s a given we love them, (bar the high pitched squealing),
But staying home with them, isn’t that appealing,
So we hand them over; guilt ridden and tired,
Wiping someone else’s bum, wasn’t something I desired.
With the promise of adult conversation, a hot cuppa tea,
We march ourselves to work, silently screaming: “I’m free!”
Whilst we bask in blissful calm; uninterrupted wee’s (!)
You pick up, where we left off: potty training, first aid, ABC’s
But beyond this basic care, you all so graciously deliver,
There’s something more to what you do – and here is just a sliver:
Megan, from day one, when she was just a tiny tot,
Taught her how to feed herself, crawl, stand, trot
“Good morning Dora the explorer,” beams Cathy, on a morning,
As I sign her in at the gate, bleary eyed and yawning.
Chris embracing my daughter because she missed me and cried.
Sammy, praising her on writing skills, because she truly tried.
My daily complaints with Claire and Emma S,
Zoe, Julia make the meals; Gill and Lisa clean-up the mess.
Keeping your cool Paige. Sophie. Jess. And Kirsty,
As for the 100th time that day, she claims that she is thirsty.
Georgia and Casey, her BFF's - she prefers you more than me,
Asking them to sleepovers, and “when they coming round for tea?”
Georgia put a spell on her, she’s asked if she can be her sister!
I remind myself she is with you, on the days when I’ve missed her.
So it looks like you messed up again,
Thought I would sit around and wait.
Have you already forgotten what I said,
You don’t decide for me, I make my own fate.
You didn't think I would go through with it,
Ok I'll admit it hasn’t been easy.
Did you think I would never move on,
I'm done with games they are just sleazy.
Why when I tell you I have moved on,
You call repeatedly crying saying your feeling blue.
Sorry you had four years to figure it out,
Now you wont be having this cake and eating it too.
After everything we have been through,
How is this what brings you to tears.
I'm not sorry for moving on with my life,
And you'll never cry as much as I have over the years.
Sure that connection we have will never fade,
We know exactly what each other wants and needs.
But I will find that and grow with another,
I have already began to plant those seeds.
After everything you have did to us,
I still do wish you happiness and joy.
But you should have thought this through before,
If you don’t love her then with her heart you shouldn't toy.
I can't help but to sometimes think of you,
We had a lot of great days and nights, simple memories to fade.
That passion we may never find with another,
But I cant always be blamed as the reason why she is so jade.
I don’t know if we will ever pick up where we left off,
Guess it just depends where our lives take us to.
All I know is I cant wait around for you to decide what you want,
Just remember you chose your own path as to why you are so blue.

Setting out on a quest to test, what we already know, We will find.
The crystal coated flakes, once found in pixie sticks, blowing out our minds.
To find relief in life, to sooth the desperation, of the soul,
for fear of landing upside down or ending up in a six foot hole.
To pick up, where we left off the night before &
wonder aimlessly like a bed of once fed flowers,
whose weeds are now in control.
All in hopes of feeding, this undying need for the soul.
No fix it quick band aids, to cover up the holes.
Only the fulfillment of an addiction, which drives you from your home.
In this search you lead, hoping to feed,
this undying need of your soul.
Burning out, blasting in, the pace picks up as you draw it in,
you feel the drying & aching of your bones…
Starring at lines you have showning on your face,
trying to connect the ones that end with out trace…
Scars are etched by glass that has sketched ghost clouds in your mind
You can feel it hit, as you take off & leave everything else behind.
In this search you seek the undying need to feed your
blackened soul, as living in addiction, burning up your presence &
being swallowed up as whole…

Searching for the chemistry that we had
Was it ur age?
She is ur age and yet not the same
Was it ur blonde hair?
She has blonde hair and still not like u
Looking for the qualities that only u possess
Smoking myself into a coma every night
Clearly out of my mind
Thoughts of u send my mind into a tailspin
Lost with no communication
Searching an uncharted piece of my soul
I have never had these damned feelings
The words u told me were lies of a hopeful heart
We will never pick up where we left off
This emptiness will never be filled
I thought that I had loved and lost before
I had no idea it was like this...
My happy place is listening to Harry Styles with u on the porch in the sunshine of May. Ur blonde hair glowing in the sunshine. White tank top, short jean shorts. Ur yellow toe nail polish.
Soon after, reality starts to take over
The clouds roll in and slowly take away my sunshine, as u disappear into the fading sunshine. I am left alone in the gloom of an overly cloudy, grey sky. I wait through the rain and snow, hoping to catch a glimpse of ur face in the sunshine.
Busy reading a curious series
Wrapped in the fantasy
Written within it's covers
A story of Vampirates
A complex tale of lives entwined
Destiny shaped before life
Journeys embarked upon
While sailing the open seas
Set in a time ahead of now
Throughout the past plays it's part
Challenges faced by siblings divided
Worlds apart their loyalties tried
Enchanting descriptions of a world apart
Removed from reality
Still within its embrace
An epic tale of adventure
Thousands of pages
To tell its full tale
A beautiful story
An original, truly one of a kind
Wanting the story to continue
For the characters journeys
To not be through
To pick up where we left off
Sailing through the seas
In search of answers
Of treasure
And more
Twins who were once sheltered
Exposed to untold dangers
Denied the truth
To who they are
Centuries of time
Riddled with tales
Of more than just the twins
Conner and Grace
But alas the tale is done
With their unusual stories
Left swinging in limbo
So onto the next one

Didn't think I would be back here but then again it's like I get another chance to react differently and subliminally I get to handle it another way, what a day I'm not even gonna lie it hurt but I recognize your worth and I still believe you're the one who can fulfill my needs because it's you who I want, I can't front so when I turned my back I always looked back hoping you would too but also prepared if you never did, you don't have to be scared to fall for me I'll catch you that's a promise, I honor you enough to take it slow and respect you enough to let our love grow even when we're apart. I don't wanna start over let's pick up where we left off, our kids playing together me losing myself in your most deep inner thoughts. We deserve each other. We both been down the road that leads no where, but when I'm with you I don't have a care in a world, you're the girl I never thought I'd get but now I'm scared to lose. And now that it seems like we both have a second chance at love my only question is do you feel the same way I do
The Fallout
For a brief moment, everything I needed was right in front of me
She was the embodiment of perfection
A stunning personality, a heart of gold, and absolutely gorgeous
I didn't expect to fall so hard so fast
I could feel myself glowing from within
A smile radiating from my face by the mere thought of her
They say when you find the one, you just know
And I knew it, there wasn't a doubt in my mind
And as quickly as it started, it all came crashing down
In an instant those feelings turned to disbelief
How could the bottom fallout on something so great?
Turns out there's more to her than I ever could've imagined
She wasn't ready and didn't want to get involved in something she couldn't give her all
Inside she was rebuilding herself, putting the pieces back together
Repairing the damage done by a savage monster
Maybe someday we can pick up where we left off
Until then, all I can do is try to be her friend and help piece together a fragile heart
