An Artist No Longer by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

An Artist No Longer

I strung myself out on the cinema Hung out to dry like a darkroom photograph. Scratched all the records by blind repetition Of happy tunes that no longer caused me to laugh. I convinced myself I wasn’t prey to nostalgia, But lost in a daydream I would find another The path keeps on stretching when I think it’s over: I look up at the strings and desire to sever them. I never felt myself growing so old, But my pages got dog-eared, ink-blotted and torn And I smelled like a story, though no one could read; Like a moth-eaten sweater that was never worn. This is a testament with untraced resentment – And I never meant to be bitte

Mermaids and Spaceships by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

Mermaids and Spaceships

If I stay I’ll be stuck in your dreamless dreams And let mine fly away like lost balloons, Like bubbles rising from my mouth Because everything is anchored on your Simple demands from life; All you require is a hand to hold, and you’ll be happy. It’s not that I’m not afraid here. Like the sailors pulled from their ships Into the water By the smooth arms of women With fish-tails and voices Of silver, of gold, I am not afraid. As the waves upon the shore, Our lives will repeat one undying motion, And it isn’t bad, but it’s all. I can’t help but wonder at the lights in the sky With the sand at my b

Yellow

We found a yellow heart. The birds said it has been left in the sun And was just dehydrated. It turns out hearts beat blood, Not sand and wind, so this one Was not doing very well. No wonder it turned yellow. I think you forgot, a heart always Belongs to someone. This one has ‘for Sarah’ written With a pocketknife, Carved into the dry tissue. We found Sarah, but she said It wasn’t hers. The vultures never circled over this one. But the rainclouds did, even though Hearts beat blood, not water. So I opened our umbrella. And it won’t beat on smoke Or alcohol, It will just choke Until it’s broke, Because it

Profile of an Introvert

I know you. You feel invisible. I can see it in your eyes; Cut off, but hardly caring. Resigned, never saw a point In this cheap, plastic society. You can watch the whole world, It is so clockwork-ly predictable; You identify many patterns but Forget that I, too, See, Because you assume that silence Is no more than absence, even though You also know it hides your own existence. Why did you never think that you might not be so Alone? I’ve waited a long time to find the words To tell you you’re still human, and I can’t: I just cannot find it in me to destroy the Fragile boundaries that to you seem so Dis

Come Back by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

Come Back

Come back. Somewhere, far downriver, there's a flower, Maybe sunk. Its petals were all blue, the color of the winter sky, And of the day You said goodbye. Somewhere, far downriver, there's a scattering of leaves, Maybe drowned, maybe destroyed, Maybe found their way to the sea. From the trees we climbed together, and the days we spent Believing, Before you told me In some subtle way That you were surely leaving.

A Scar by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

A Scar

Innocence Ignorance Really, what's the difference? Ashes billow into storms And blacken out the brightest star. You will not see me as I am Till I've been broken and my bones Have mixed with blood and dust And I have spit out teeth and stones. You and I would have been the grayscale lovers Holding hands beneath a yellow sky In the forgotten photograph With cobwebs clustering around, Fallen from a dusty shelf In a forgotten, broken house, Beneath a mile of rubble. When I have lived enough To find no relish in the living When I have fought and died for nothing I'll find that life is unforgiving. Innocence Ignorance What c

Remembering by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

Remembering

His cup of tea smelled minty Left on the desk to cool His expression was flinty As he perched upon his stool. The book was worn and dog-eared And written in his hand: The last page of words had disappeared, Sprinkled over with sand. He coughed, but it stuck in his throat; He sipped the now-cold cup of tea. Forgetting what it was he wrote, He shook the last page free: i am the words you try to use elusive, i will yet confuse you, for it is my errand here to obfuscate your muse.

Unwritten by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

Unwritten

I am not allowed to write About this. I am not allowed to trap This thought. I am not supposed to spell it out I am not suppose to realize A thing in all its essence For that kills it And it's gone. Fragile steps between the worlds: Only the brazen make it through, But one mistake and all will break And I will lose you too. It seems I cannot help it Even as the cracks appear; There's something at the heart of it That overwhelms my fear. I am not allowed to write This down. I am not allowed to trap This thing. I am not supposed To spell it out For that kills it And it's gone.

Kick Dirt by Shewroteinblue, literature

Literature

Kick Dirt

You're going down the darker road, saying things like that – "The world treats me unfairly!" "Nothing has a point!" And you wander on, keep living, for the sake of wasting air, Though you think that, where it matters, you have lost the power to care. When you talk you spit on fools who use optimistic words, Can't they see you've had enough of that? And been through so much worse? But no, no one can comprehend you in your single, "different" sphere. Because you're special in the worst of ways: the very worst, my dear. Solitude is frightening in what it's done to you. Taken up in self-reflection, remising on your woes, There's

Friend, by gummyrabbit, literature

Literature

Friend,

I make you soup and kiss away your cuts, and I only wish I could bring you joy as simply as I bring you vitamins. I only wish you could be healed, and I suppose that He is making you well – but it is so slow in coming! So slow in coming, and darling, you will suffer so much longer. When I touch you, I wish your suffering could fall away beneath my fingers; when I rest my head on your shoulder, I wish the soul you twisted sinning could breathe free. There is a resurrection coming, dearest; a resurrection to a glory everlasting. Then you will hurt yourself no longer, and He who heals bodies will heal your soul.

Love Letters On the Train

Dear Stranger, I'm leaving this post-it tucked in the side of the train-seat. If you're reading this, you've seen it. I've seen you sit here every few Monday mornings, sometimes tapping a bent, unlit cigarette against your thigh, sipping from your tea (who brings a tea cup onto a train anyway?); sometimes staring at the rain outside, or reading your well-worn, beaten copy of Jane Eyre (I hate that you fold the corners down - it's bibliophilic abuse. I wish the book would papercut you to defend itself a little, but I digress). You seemed so sad this Monday morning past. Please smile again. I love it when your eyes catch the light of something
