“She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river."


When I spoke them,
the words fell
and landed in front of
your feet
and I know you saw them
I know you heard them
because you stepped around them
instead of stepping on them
but when you walked away,
you kicked up dust and tears
and lie after lie
and I breathed them in
I swallowed them
because they're all I had
left of you
but now
I wish it was all gone
but I can't seem
to get it out of my lungs
