  My Last Visit

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  It was hot those summers, hotter than it had ever been. And the smell was sweet with despair. An oily film coated everything, leaving you with the constant sensation of being dirty. We shuffled onto the bus. There were bars on the windows and obscenities scratched into the thick white paint that...

  No Return

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  I gave up everything to be here. Do you understand that? Do you understand? I gave up my family, to be here beside you. I gave up my friends, so you would call me yours. I gave up my values for you to kiss me like that. I don't know who I am anymore, if I find myself again, will you s...

  Revolt

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  This is an awful world, where people no longer count as people, we are degraded, and hated. The rights of the innocent are stripped, long before those of the guilty. Yeah, we may be human, but what is so great about that if all it brings is pain? We are constantly dehumanized, ripped away f...

  Easy Days

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  Lying on my back, I remember the things I once held so dear. My Princess Amethyst riding on the back of winged horses, my He-Man fighting mighty battles with his sword and muscle. Sailor Moon and her crew. There was Casper and his laughter, Wendy and her smile. Hiding in my comic books, I dr...

  Comfort

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  Ringing silence, the beep of the machine, the click of the nurses in the hall. I look over at the one I love, the one who always seemed so strong to me, but now she is pale as a leaf. Her lips quiver and shake, her hands tightly wringing each other. Cancer, I say. The word hangs in the a...

  Hopeless?

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  Ugly, nasty, fat and unhappy This is what it means to be american. Picking, hating, loving and despising anyone who doesn't fit in. The rude, the mean, the desperate. The lost, the found, the hopeless. Priorities are crooked, Values are all wrong. Arrogant and lonely, Wanting to fix ye...

  Sinners Kingdom

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  We make believe that we are pure. We pursue a falsehood an ideal, that is utterly unattainable. I ask you how you believe in a heaven when we both know deep inside that if there is one, we wont be invited. We're sinners where it really counts, but in our castle of whipped cream and pi...

  My Death

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  Slowly part, my lips cooling in the soft breeze. Your eyes flutter open, blue and bright. And you smile, such a warm and inviting smile. Taking me in your arms, so warm and tight. You lean me back into your lap, and bend down to kiss me again. I feel as if I could hold onto this moment f...

  Warmth

  

  By ironsidegirl, Mesa, AZ

  Your chest is warm, resting on my back. Your head peeking over my shoulder as I write. Your breath dances down my collarbone, your eyes resting upon my heaving chest. Every part of us, touching, from our hair to our toes. I adore the way you kiss my neck, the way you never let go of me. ...
