Strawberry Skies

-

everything is candy striped, 

sweet like bubblegum pink


what you see on the outside does 

not match up with what you think


sitting by the lake with 

our strawberry drinks


in this moment, I could spit out all my 

secrets to you like you're a human diary


for once, I am not fulfilled 

by unnecessary worries


in this moment, I don't feel 

real, this must be a fantasy


If this was reality, then why does the sky 

taste like this box of strawberry milk tea?

Dog Toy

Why do I try so hard, when  I'm not  sure it's the same love we speak of? Am I just another dog toy you've already discarded ...

 I've been searching for shelter it's been a toxic wasteland outside tried to hide tried to fight couldn't open the doors locked hidden in plain slight thank you for this life even though I wish you were here I am so grateful  to stand my ground I know one day the clouds will blow away and you'll come back around to meet me since I knew you all the parts and tracks you left behind promise me you'll show me to the light in  another life...  - Leah Rae

Last Film

-
  To the pictures you left us with And the memories that collide My brain plays like a reel movie With the tape repeating it’s last film  Over and over and over Until I decide to rewind it Watch it again from the beginning No matter how many times I roll it up again The movie ends To which I never know the ending How I never will know what truly happened to the beautiful woman on the screen With her pink flushed cheeks and bandaids on her knees All of the things we didn’t get to talk about, all the tattoos I didn’t get to see And here it goes again, I can’t stop replaying this scene This will always be my favorite movie -Leah Rae
