I knew I was rapidly approaching death, and I felt no fear. The summer was long, and I was tired. My flower had come and gone, blossomed like the yellow face of the great Sun, my body a tribute to its warmth and light. My roots had grown tremendously, stretching and drinking the sweet ambrosia of the earth. My sisters had joined me in growth, and our roots were intertwined. They told me of other flowers, like us, that had come and died before us, but I was too focused on growth that I did not notice them trespassing our field. They told me to be grateful that I was not eaten or “picked” by a monster, like the one who blocked out
She doesn't really know me well,
but I am in love with her.
I follow her,
and she is just a husk of her former self.
But I am a husk, too.
I'm quiet, and she pays me no mind.
I'm soft, and I blend into the surroundings, and she pays me no mind.
But sometimes she's afraid of me, reflected on the walls and mirrors, when it is dark outside.
I don't know why.
She clings to her sheets, and she tries to cry.
Her eyes are dry when she looks up
"how many sleeping pills does it take to make a lethal dose"
"how to tie a noose"
"how long does it take to bleed to death"
I've known her all my life:
I was there when she was born, painted acros
I wish I were the moon by miss-apricot, literature

I wish I were the moon
I will sing and serenade her
And talk to her for hours
And I will give her showers
Of flowers
And let the petals fall as they may.
We'll be on a rooftop together
And she'll wave to some unknown
She'll flirt with old boyfriends, grown
And devour them.
She'll chew them up and spit out their bones.
During times she should be dreaming
But sleep remains out of sight,
She turns out the light.
Sometimes I can hear her singing
Her lonely cries for the love of her life.
Oh, how I wish I were the moon!
The celestial body she howls for:
He keeps her company these lonely nights
And she loves him.
(But I love her.)
We'll be on a river
If I remember right,
I first met you at night
in moonlight
on a rooftop, way back when.
And you watched me go around,
disappeared beyond the ground,
and then I left without a sound
(for I was foolish then)
And it was at night when you came for me
And I finally let you see
My face,
As I pull and push the sea.
I wax, I wane,
I dance without complain
And I thank my lucky stars
because I've never been more free
(I think)
But you forced yourself to stay awake
and I told you, that's a grave mistake
but I pretty sure you didn't hear.
I'm too quiet compared to nighttime chatter
and you never really knew what was the matter
and I

Morning-Walker Children
Please turn off your sprinklers
For the morning-walker children
Who don't like to get wet.
The mist is cold and uncomfortable
When the sun is cold
and the sky is clear.
There's a secret line we walk,
Between the living
and the sleeping
How sweet the dew-grass must taste!
Silken spiders are weaving their webs
On crystal droplets.
Such shy flowers that must bloom
At the kiss of dawn.
They flutter their eyelashes
in the cool breezes,
And will shy away
from the glare
of the wakened sun.
The morning-walker children
awaken every day without fail.
They raise their drowsy eyelids
and adjust for the bright sun
Day in, day

I feel like I'm really alone in my thoughts; like, I know everyone is, but I feel like I'm not really a functioning member of society, you know? What I find attractive is different from what other people find attractive: a guy known as "hot" is completely unattractive to me until I see them alive. Same goes for girls: I fall in love with how people act and talk, not how they look. And I know that's not all uncommon, but there's lot of instances where my aesthetics don't exactly match with the rest of the populace. I saw a girl today smile at her phone like she just got a really sweet message from her boyfriend or just an "I love you" from he
