herself running




she knew what she was after

she could see the pigeons in front of her
the crumbs as they fell from high above
falling into the dark gaps between the green leafy wisps of grass
looking_down she saw her feet

it was then she realized

nobody special Think it would ever happen to her. Occasionally,she thought about it,but she tried to think positively.
Honest and genuinely concerned about peoples troubles and feelings,she was there for her friends when they needed her. And yet she was often forgotten by them when her own problems came along.
As the years passed,she thought about it more than ever,but still she put on a smiling face and pretended not to care,even when their comments of some were cruel and unecessary.
Ironically,today she can only think about being alone for the rest of her life when she's by herself. Like the lover she never had,the thought whispers to her,caressing the inside of her mind. She succumbs to it,reliving all the times she entrusted her heart to someone only to have it broken time and time again,each time promising herself that this time would be the last.
She's alone today...looking at the leaves on the trees that are beginning to change colour. Their final curtain call before they fall to the ground,
dead and withered. Like her one day. And as she tries to stop the tears from flowing,she can't help but think that she'll be alone when that day comes. Did she ever think it would happen? Well,at first she didn't....

endless desire at first she didn't
see the lights of the car approaching.
but soon they blinded her.

in panic. . .
you'd assume
she would come to many
conclusions.
to run, i suppose.
though, she would have little
control over whether or
not she came to these conclusions
in enough time
to dodge the blinding lights
and save herself.

but in this particular incident,
she had a wonderful amount of time
to make that fateful decision.
to run or not to run, i suppose.
yet in the blinding light
she held her ground.

at first, she never assumed
she would die trying.
she never assumed she would die at all,
to be quite honest.
but her mind turned in those split seconds
crossing that highway
that she's spoken of many times before.
her mind turned and it told her
that this wouldn't be such a sorry way to end it all.
it was almost beautiful,
from what she recalls.
the lights and the screeching breaks
the blaring horn and the fear that she smelled so sweetly.
the impact. there is no way to describe.
soaring. gliding.
rocketing. that's it.
in the air,
but so completely calm.
just waiting for the moment to come
when she could say this was all over.
and that this was the way she had gone.

at first she didn't
mean to kill herself.
but no one looks back on it that way
not at all.
no one wants to think she would have
ever killed herself.
a bright girl. she'd call herself
pretty on a good day.
and she thought she was funny
and she always had a smile--
that was part of the problem, i suppose.
she plastered on that smile,
but she figured everyone else did the same.
and when she had that opportunity
to end the hurting inside,
she grabbed it
and held on.
stood in the lights,
those blinding lights
and she waved goodbye.

imposter I am scared for you.

I love you.

Reach out and hold my hand and we can run away. Just reach out.

It's ok to cry on my shoulder. I will hold you while you cry and nothing will happen.
