before reading
these are the symptoms of starlight
keep going, for you are a goddess
heroes
nonexistent love
diamonds
dandelion
spark
sacrifice
cast from the sea
heartless
heartlines
mad but merciful
shards
red widow
if the sun doesn't, the moon will
daughters of legacy
i don't want to be poetry
scarred veins
the girls the world forgot
lungs ablaze
processes of writing
a view of the american school system
wishing for wings
a voice
age (almost) killed the dreamer
love love love
a tale atlas knew
looking too closely
running out of yesterdays
the sun burns
this poetry
the suffering of heroes
the unlikely legend
angels
a war in which i don't have weapons
we don't exist the same way
you will be forgotten
fireflies
i will not burn
please let me in
self harm
an unconventional tragedy
beasts are made of flesh
this is a universal beauty
a dialogue amongst battle
mind the shrapnel
hemmed heartbeats
do flowers grow in unholy places?
this is the heretic's cry
forge your heart
the phenomena
to try
bad sense of timing
follow my tumblr!
anxiety override
the love letters he never sent
home sweet home
consumed
mistaken identity
an unfinished ode to loneliness
all that i am, part one
all that i am, part two
13 year old me
what did the willow tree say
conversations with polaris
10:37 pm
a quiet revolution
a quiet september
an idea
tell it to the bees

ten billion stars and one sun

i have spent my life bathing in the light of stars
drifting through a void so limitless
that i have never felt their warmth
i'm always too far, too cold, too much

but darling, i've gotten stuck in your obit and suddenly i understand what makes a sun different, what separates two heavenly bodies that share everything in common
but a name

you weren't afraid to get close

- and that made it all worth while
