“Find me.”
She whispered
She feared he never would
Standing right beside her
But she knew he never could.
“Find me.”
She muttered
She feared this day to day
He swore he would stay by her side
But she knew he’d run away.
“Find me!”
She called
She feared this hide and seek
He promised her all the world
But she knew she was a freak.
“Find me!”
She screamed
She feared no one could hear
She wanted his love so much
But all she felt were tears.
“Find me,”
Where the last words that she spoke
She feared so much she broke his heart
For her death was all she wrote.

Her eyes reminded me of butterfly wings
Her hair the chains on old swing sets
She danced the night away, ink on skin
And smoke on sidewalks.
I held her hand like she was my lifeline to the world
And she was, all poetry and rainbow tears.
Now I cuddle her stomach and wish
That these years would go by slower
Just so I could spend more time with her
Timeless beauty.
Her eyes reminded me of butterfly wings
Fluttering behind the glass of her mirrors
And her hair reminded me of the knots
Locked in the chains of old swing sets.
Happy birthday, soul friend.
One more year gone, but we will have eternity
Together.
Dealing with humans
Was like sticking needles
Into her
Eyeballs
A snake wrapped
Around her neck
She wished he would
Constrict her
Dogs were her
Safety net
Until they all

Was like sticking spears
Into her
Heart
When would she
Continue to
Live
Life?
You stopped the rain
Just a smile, a flick of the wrist
You jumped into my life
When I needed you most
And you stopped the rain
Sharp as the edge of a blade
Strong as a beating heart
You blocked out the sun
But you stopped the rain.

The red string of fate that connects us
May stretch and stretch,
But will never break
It will curl around bodies,
Wind around buildings,
Stretch out to where you stand
Without me
Stretch to where you stand
Waiting for me
But it will never break.
Casper trotted around the room, placing rolled silver wear on each table deliberately, focused on his task completely. He may co-own the catering company, but he’d never let his employees do all the work while he sat on his rump; it just wasn’t his way. He was so into his work that he almost ran straight into his twin, who was standing right in his way between the table he had finished and the next one. Looking up so that green met green, Casper grinned at Cleo and stood a little straighter so that he was eye-level with the woman. She grinned back at him and took the bundle of utensils from his arms, placing them on the table behi
