LirioDelirious

These past few months, I've come to know what truly embodies unconditional love; It's baring your heart for all to see your tainted soul and broken mind, and them filling it, not with a cloying salve, but with real compassion and understanding, as to prove there are still humans within humanity. Unconditional love is seeing the heart of gold behind the lacking looks, taking leaps of faith, and learning that others opinions of your opinions of others don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. It's educating a teenage boy in the latest makeup trends and giving him free reign of your closet, thankful you wear the same dress size, when h

Gems of Youth In Times Gone By      Nayley awoke with a jolt, eyes sticky and puffy with partially-dried tears. She groped for the cell phone sitting on the bookcase to her right and checked for new text messages. There was one from Kale, sent five hours before, asking how many pizzas she needed him to pick up for Saturday's party, another from Jayden, asking how many girls he could bring to Saturdays party -Nayley rolled her eyes-, and finally, one from Kyra which merely read heyy. She tossed it aside, hearing it thunk onto the carpet, and glanced at her alarm clock. She realized that she hadn't set an alarm. It wa

Pink Rose     I walked, at a fast clip, the tred-daily, blue-tiled, white-stone-walled route to Algebra II, leaning every once in awhile to avoid a head on a collision with a sprinting freshman girl or a jock who thought he owned the halls. Last period's Chemistry test, no matter how much I'd prepared myself, had still seemed impossible. I mentally scolded myself for not trying harder, wiped a striped-sleeved arm across my tired eyes, and slowed my pace to nearly a stop to shift the strap of my bag higher up on my shoulder and check if I'd remembered my graphing calculator.     Before I could take off again, a sudden prickling sensation s

A routine A rut A cage Burnt out From Everything From Nothing No feasible means of escape Everyday Same places Same feelings Same faces How do you break the Intangible? A trapped animal will eventually chew its own foot off. A voice from the past whispers "We'll jump the train one night on the southern overpass. They'll never find us." The rails look so appealing tonight.

Mi corazón está latiendo Más rápidamente que antes Pero mis pulmones están doliendo Jadeo como un pez fuera de agua No soy acostumbrada a esta libertad Una sóla alma Dos ahora En reparación Estoy rota Sin embargo, En desolación Vida nueva empieza

Stagnant air, Fluid space Bass echos in your ribcage You feel it thud thud You hear the hum of blood Stockinged, Blistered feet Slipping in the heat His arms around your waist You glance from face to face Pouting in disgust You're really jealous of their lust

I want to do something rebellious. Please, stay innocent. Why should I be pure if the rest of you aren't? You still have some hope in the world. I'm the oldest of all of you. I know you didn't ask for your kind and clean disposition. I thought you'd be able to relate, but it turns out that you can't. So very bitter. You don't know how much it stung. To think I loved you. Too bad I couldn't return the sentiment, my dear friend. I'll be gone soon. You don't know how much I'll miss you. I need to do something rash before I go. No, you don't. Just stay this way a bit longer. Please.

A soundtrack of dirty words stuck on repeat I can see you in the darkness of the catwalk From the stage below amongst the discarded props and things You have always wanted to throw yourself over the railing Into the gaping maw of the empty house I watch you fall
