Delirious

-

I’ve become more 

thoughtful about life lately

Envisioning about

how I’d go escaping 


Those feelings feel pale,

almost like my soul turns 

as stark as white gets,


Becomes as cold 

as the ice gets


Beautiful as 

the eyes get


Tricksters in their 

demise and yet


I still feel like I’m 

pretending 

to be at home 


within my 

own bones


And I’m shedding 

off more wool than before


Maybe the guard around 

my heart seized to let it restore


These questions I wasn’t

there to get my proof from 


I wouldn’t have to look 

for these answers if only 

I could’ve gotten some


Trying to be optimistic 

about what a wonderful 

world it is to see


To be grateful you’re here 

and trying to be happy

Dog Toy

Today I bought my  dog a new chew toy she jumped with excitement like she's never seen  anything like it before, she's had other toys to  play with, but this one was different she carried it around  with her everyday laid next to it when she took afternoon naps, placed it next to her  when  she'd eat breakfast she loved  this chew toy, at the peak of it's condition, it was soft and fluffy perfect for her she wanted to be gentle with it and made sure it  didn't break too soon there are other toys I've given to her,  but they've been put into a basket,  already worn  and loved maybe she does still like them,  but why doesn't she play with them anymore? Why do I keep buying her new toys if she's over them within a few weeks? Why do I keep standing by my  phone  if it's not going to ring? 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
