And I Go to Sleep Content

Sometimes I consider complaining and whining and then I remember how nice things actually are.


The bad things I'll forget, but the good things... they will last a lifetime.

Reason #12096 that I'm Glad She Moved Home

Sometimes I forget how worried I was about meeting Vertigo. I wasn't sure if we'd get along, if we'd do anything more than tolerate each other.


And it warms every corner of my heart knowing how wrong I was. How much I love that silly dog and how much he loves me. 

Two Angry Girls

Two little girls
of same height and weight and build
Mouths pursed thin
Eyes sparking like gems filled with fire
Hands clenched tight together.

Four little hands
Clutching to hold on
Squeezing to confirm reality
Refusing to let go.

Four little eyes
Looking out
At a judging, betraying, cruel world

Two little mouths
Whispering empty comforts in each others' ears.
Simultaneously casting and absolving
blame.

Two little girls
Hands clinging tight to solely what they know is good
Eyes filled with tears unable to comprehend the horrors
Mouths screaming at everyone else while attempting to soothe themselves...

two Little girls.
