“I stay up late sometimes and play a game, the kind I should not play. I think of things you said and try to decipher truths from lies. Some nights I make them all lies and fall asleep hating you.

“Your love has only ever come with thorns, and I have only ever spent so much time with my nose buried in its petals that I didn't notice my hand dripping blood from holding on so tightly.

“I can't watch The Wizard of Oz / without wondering how many times / the Scarecrow had his heart broken / no brain to tell him no / all that courage telling him yes / I wonder if he was desperate from all that hurt / if he'd spend some nights asking the Tin Man if he was a fool / Tin Man saying yes / saying obviously / saying of course / because how could he know / how could he see / with that hole in his chest / where a heart should be. I can't watch The Wizard of Oz / without walking memory lane like a yellow brick road/ at the end of which / is someone who still loves me.”

Love Waking Up In The Morning

Author:Kristina Mahr

“Out of sight, out of mind, I'm told, I'm assured, so I hide away your hands. I stow away your smile, and I put away our plans. I bury all your boyish charms, and I lock away your laugh. I stash all your special names for me, and I tuck away the last year and a half. The trouble is, I never know where I stored this or that. I open a drawer, and there's your voice, it's here and gone so fast. Out of sight, out of mind, out of mind, out of mind, I'm out of my out of my mind. Living in a graveyard filled with all you left behind.”

I know because every day I bloody my knuckles in the pursuit of something I might see by.”
