holding on
it could never be wrong
to trust you.
Watch me sleep
headphones, face-smush
legs curled, two-handed sleeping face palm.
Silent guardian
playing
Pearl Jam
reading
Camus
“… break his nose
if he comes any closer …”
Might have been
nothing to you,
but it carefully
flipped my world.

It's really sort of random, but I was at a lock-in where my ex was going to show up. The ex in question was one of those "Sleep with her, make her think you love her, then never reply to her calls" kind of guys, and he always acted like a jerk to me. My friends were there, and they were talking about what they'd do. My male friend (now boyfriend) said he'd break his nose if he came any closer. He was listening to Pearl Jam and reading Albert Camus The Stranger

That's the great thing about jerks: they tend to be very inspiring. ;) I'm really glad I could inspire you, and I hope that if you ever post anything on here, you'll send me a link

This poem was amazing. Teh first time I read it I really didn't get it I had to read it a second time. Once I finally got it I was like wow! How did she come up with this. What I'm wondering is if it just popped into your head. Like a lightbulb just came to life. Anyway keep up the AMAZING work! Keep writing!

I usually (unfortunately) judge things by titles/covers as well, but this suprised me too.
It very good imagery.
Feel free to check out my work, thanks.
