And now is all I'll ever be

Today is Friday. Monday your heart was summer sun and champagne, your eyes calm, warm, content. Monday you felt finally whole, stitched and new, shiny. Then your smiling white knight slammed his fist through your chest, squeezed your heart free of your body and let it drop onto the gravel driveway. You deserved this, you had it coming, you stupid, stupid girl, this is all your fault. And the week that should've been the perfect end to the best summer you've had since you were 16 was suddenly sporting giant spiderweb cracks through everything. You smiled because you had to, but your eyes were closed and dark and grey against the August sun

Literature

We all fall down

Tonight, I am consumed: words spinning through veins, blocking the oxygen to my brain until I am asphyxiated by consonants and connotations, vowels (a malignant tangle) like the rush of water, the scream of sudden silence that comes after – Tonight, I am constructed: a mere reflection that glimmers once across your pupils before soaking into your retinas. A paint-by-number set you memorized years ago and lies buried beneath half-finished projects on your coffee table. Tonight, I am smothered casually, until my eyes are glassy, my lips stiff and blue. Shrouded in

Literature

The Stepmother's Tale

I found a man in my garden bed, Picking herbs for his wife, he said, For she was hungry and heavy with child. "For greens, your daughter is mine," I smiled. So after the birth, I took her away To a tall, doorless tower where she would stay. I was her mother, she my one care-- "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your fair hair!"

Sometimes I feel like I would be better written as an assortment of jumbled lyrics and melody strains.

So...

Sorry for the massive upload dump - the past few months have been rather insane, what with the  graduating, and moving, and trying to find a job, and my laptop (finally) keeling over, and some fabulous hurdles in my social life. On the upside, I'm in a much better place, in pretty much every way. And with any luck, I'll stop being all procrastinate-y and get motivated again, and start uploading on a slightly more regular basis. Yay! Thanks to those of you still watching/commenting.
