I Am A Princess..

I am a princess.
All girls are.
Even if they live in tiny old attics.
Even if they dress in rags,
even if they aren't pretty,
or smart, or young.
They're still princesses.
All of us.

Humpty Dumpty

I found the pieces
Of my broken heart
The one you broke
When we grew apart
I tried to fix the pieces
One by one,
but it just couldn’t be done..

Captive

At times it’s like my heart doesn’t belong to me..
It’s like it’s being held captive by the old love..
The one who got away, the one I’m still hung too..
Trying to forget is one thing I think I’ve accomplished..
But at night when all is quiet and my mind wanders,
I think of him..
The times spent together, the firsts, the lasts,
The never will happen again..

My Heart

Dark night draws closer still;
Black ice melts on scarlet velvet;
Ever closer to unwanted hearts;
The night, a sheet of dark black sounds;
This is my heart, a beaten mess of untangled love..
