Ensue

to ensue  

                                                                                                                                                        
i follow you with my eyes

smile when you grab my hand

and rush me down the hallway

i text you after school

(only because you’ve previously initiated conversations)

and hold onto every exclamation point

cross-examine your periods

with your spaces

hope that i’m overthinking disappointment

and truly reading excitement

with each push of a phone letter key

i wait

wanting something more to ensue

Roses

envelope
the sun
and send it with
a postmark
to the girl who lives down the road
and sits on her stoop
wishing she could be anywhere else

watch her expression as she opens her letter
the sun beams touch her face
as they illuminate
her eyes
till they glow
like mini stars of their own
and you know you have
done good.

For You

When I walked out
you went with me and i told you to leave
but you didnt listen
so i pushed you with my wavering fingers
icy cold
blue from your frosty breath

Untitled

in thinking I'm disappearing
and when in my dreams,
i wander under cherry blossoms
deep beneath the seams,
it's 'cause i never get to see the sun anymore
for i'm too caged in by windows, by walls, and by doors
