Notice #6

So sorry I haven't been very active lately! 

My laptop charger literally exploded a couple of months ago and I still haven't replaced it!

If that wasn't enough, the same night the laptop charger popped, the USB ports fell apart!

I'm probably going to get a new PC instead of trying to repair my old one so thanks for being patient!

I'm Secretly A Cat : A Haiku

Come home tonight and

Let me snuggle up with you

Play with my hair please.

Hey guys!

My husband is participating in a gaming marathon (24 hours) on October 26th to benefit sick children. The campaign is called Extra Life and a lot of people do it every year. The great thing about this is that 100% of the money raised goes right to the Children’s Miracle Network and...

5am cigarettes

At 5 am it is so beautiful to be alive because it feels like the whole world is asleep. Even the sun hasn't woken up for work today. As I sit outside sucking the life out of my cancerous habit and think: "It's going to be me one day, The roles will be reversed and I'm going to have the life sucked out of me Because of this cigarette And I'm doing it to myself. I should probably quit. Maybe tomorrow." I think of my family at home, My siblings are getting out of bed to play in the sunshine and Maybe my mother is lying in for once On the other side of the planet.

to women who have been touched in unwanted ways

Scrub the smell of him out of your mouth, your hair, or chop

it all off, watch the long red strands fold into the drain

like egg yolks into batter. Rip apart the stained underwear

with pinking shears until they are unrecognizable, torn,

look like something found in a disaster zone.

Throw tomatoes one by one against the wall and watch

them smash into a pulpy mess; pretend they’re him

or his heart or actions and don’t stop to clean them up.

What he did doesn’t deserve to be covered over.

Replace all the pillows in the house, all the bedsheets,

the windowpanes, the cupboard doors, counters-

anything and everything he touched, get rid of it,

pile it into dozens upon dozens of garbage bags

and set them out by the curb to rot like maggots.

Staunch the leaking of your heart with rags,

take a trip down to the beach and lie between the ribs

of a giant whale carcass, make a home under its bones

until his smell wears off and is replaced by the whale’s.

File the police report. Go to the cops. Stay there morning

noon and night if necessary. Ensure justice for yourself,

and in doing so, for every possible woman after.

Finally, look into the mirror. Look long and hard,

realize you are complicated and messy and beautiful

but still breathing, and he may have stuck a knife

between your legs, but it didn’t stab your heart.

Your heart is still whole.

You are still you.

I'm Still Angry

My entire life has been an attempt at getting a head start

In a race I am destined to lose.

The butterflies in my stomach have such a mighty wingspan

That when I think of you there's a whirlwind in my throat and

It is getting harder to control.

My body caves in on itself every night.

My worst nightmares are not works of fiction mustered up in a fantasy world,

They occur before I sleep like a broken record

Looping my life story for hours on end every night

When the lights are off.

Most of my ideas flow better when I'm half asleep

And I don't have the energy to jot them down in a safer place than my mind.

When I wake up, these ideas are distant memories that I can't piece back together no matter how hard I try.

Weather Warnings

You only kiss me like that when you want the moon and the stars

But this time you only wanted to wrap me up in the covers and play with my hair in the dark.

If I could burrow myself under your skin and live inside your bones forever I would.

I want to know what runs through your mind right before you fall asleep

Or if you're even thinking at all.

My mind runs marathons in bed before tiring itself out and letting me rest

And I wonder how it is that you can sleep so fast and sound in bed next to me

When all I can think about is wrapping myself around you.

There are weather warnings for tonight but I won't hear the thunder clapping outside over how loud my heart beats when you're near me.

Rejection: A Haiku

Don't tell me you'll miss

Seeing me every day and

Not bother calling.

[limpidwaters]

To See You: A Haiku

You come home from work

And kiss me on my forehead

I've never been so glad

[limpidwaters]

Lost and Found

I was told before that I wouldn't know what I wanted until I found it.

The funny thing about that is you found me.

I'll never be able to thank the universe enough for bringing you to me

But I'll never stop trying.

When I wake up to you kissing me before you leave for work,

I remember that this isn't a dream and I am so happy

To be in your bed again.

I'm home.

Notice #3

Hey guys, just a heads up.

My blog might be a little inactive over the course of the next few days.

I'm getting ready for a trans-Atlantic move to the USA but I will do my utmost to update as frequently as possible!

Thanks!

Edit:

I arrived in the USA with a couple of complications but ultimately, it's been a good journey and I'm here.
