I love you!
And I don’t know how to tell you that I love you
Is the problem that we’re having here
The thing is you don’t even realize
How much I love you
And you won’t unless I make you realize
my legs feel frail again
(oh am i wilting?)
i don’t know if i’ve skipped to the end
or rewound to the beginning
unsteady i betray myself
almost done, can’t sway
not this time
this time
Dearest executioner,
In our last correspondence
You asked me “what I think”
Of what? Of everything
Of the assorted unfortunate occurrences
That led me to this predicament.
I see that day now,it’s gold-sunlight kissedwith apple crisp air on my lips.Tart laughter stained our cheeks,and our eyes glittered,feasting, on the velveteensincerity of each other.
Dear Pencil Sharpener,
I once was a painter.
An artist with beautiful abstract art under her name,
To whomsoever that it may concern:
I write this as a spirit looking back,
Back, back, to you, and hope that you may learn
You show me who I am
And more importantly who I’m not.
You show me what I don’t have
More often than what I’ve got.
Dear empty bottle of Elmer’s Glue,
You are finally empty.
I have had one bottle of Elmer’s Glue since I first purchased a bottle for kindergarten,
Dearest Jon,
I'm back.
Once again I remember your face and long for your touch when my mind

Dear Ryan,
I know we haven't talked in a while
But I miss seeing you.
We used to hang out all the time
But I haven't seen you in what seems like forever.
We used to do everything together
Dear Me,
You gotta stay strong.
Keep your dreams going.
Keep your blood flowing.
You'll make it I swear.
You just gotta stay there.
Work up your courage.
incoming message from: depression
it seems i lose all ability to
see clearly
when it comes to you.
Dear Grandmother,
If only I could be as courgeous as you
Struggling from all the things
You had to go through
Fighting through the bad life brings
Each wrinkle on your skin
The gray in your hair
