pennylane731's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at the place where the past and present intersect, can you see the future?

"i'm okay, i'm okay," she whispers

crumpled white cottony paper

betrays her words

but "he" can't see,

so it's okay.

the bed is stained

with the punishment

for being crazy,

and for letting it show

she has opened too many boxes of plans --

writing jinxes them,

just as speaking does.

maybe she has to turn back to the former life

she was warned

don't be "his" savior

too many times, she heard that plea

she doesn't listen, she doesn't listen --

maybe through saving "him"

she is saving herself

or maybe she just wanted someone to drown in the ocean with.
