My Sister
'So are you going? '
That was Ashley,
Standing in the kitchen doorway in a T-shirt and socks.
At twenty-one my sister was a petite five-four,
With the kind of curly, round body I'd wish I'd been born with;
Tiny feet,
Perfect hair, small enough to be cute,
But a force to be reckoned with.
At my age she had already:
Been voted Most Popular,
Dated(and dumped) the captain of the football team, and
been a varsity cheerleader.
Just like Barbie,
My sister had everything.

Out of Body Heartache
~To 'Buzz'~
I stand here;
you can rip me apart
limb from limb,
organ from organ.
I would still not
be able to
prove to you that
I am worthy
of your love.
Please piece me
back together;
love me back.
I cannot handle
another rejection,
nor can my heart.

Silence
the absence of words
between you and me,
getting louder day by day.
Who will break into
the unknown?
Who will utter
a letter,
a word,
a phrase,
a sentence?
Who wil be the one
to open their heart first?
Are you racing me
to the finish line or
are you caught in the mud
of your clique?
Make your decision before
I win the race.

The Rose
The rose
Blossoms from a small seed.
Becomes something everyone
Loves.
Then wilts away into something
Everyone hates.
Then
The rose
Dies leaving behind
A memory.
