Raindrops
Raindrops are tears shed by the sky
sent by the gods who mourn those unknown
the unfavored and forgotten
lost to passing time
so I ask those who remember me
to know this unsaid truth
that when I leave
and if I don't return
the tears shed by the sky are for me
and when they fall
recall that I loved you
as deeply as the sea
and as brightly as the sun
though my pain lasted long
I have loved you longer
and it will remain
even if I do not

Saved
We write poetry to compensate
to bring attention to
feelings they say we can't feel
"we saved you," they say
our economy
our infrastructure
but we know
and we say
"you have not saved us"
said in hushed whispers
so we're not shot in our sleep
"you cannot save us,
for you have doomed us all."

My Generation
My generation gazes up
to hanging in a
chemically hazed sunrise
from drowning cities and
fallen forests we
climb burning mountains
during too warm winters we
mourn lost childhoods and
scorn the those who have
inadvertently destroyed what
we should hae loved
screaming inside as we search for
a will to live that
they wrenched from our grasp as
we writhed and pleaded for
a reason to survive and
sunk to our knees as we
realized that they those
who think only of self and wealth
in a fit of hubris have
killed us all

Reflection
I tried on my mother's coat today
she had not worn it in years
while looking at myself in the mirror
having a moment of reflection
wondering how i looked
so much like her
longing filled my chest and
my hand slipped into the pocket
meeting something odd
a mitten small as my palm
that once belonged to me
for a moment
future and past became one
I was my mother looking down at me
a warm wool coat and
a three year old
covered in snow with
bright eyes and
orange mittens

Two Loves, a Choice
my Love, do not leave me
(did you not hear me call your name?)
my Love, do not weep for me
(did you not feel my pain?)
my Love, do not betray me
(did my love not feel the same?)
my Love, I stand before you
(but now I lay below you)
my Love, feel the warmth of my hand
(did you feel the chill of my fingertips?)
my Love, i know you see the grave
(Darling, your heart is here with me)
did your heart die with them?
(Darling, stay here safe with me)
did you choose their love over mine?
(Darling, I hold you once again)
did you not leave?
(a grave next to mine)

Unheard
Some stories don’t have an ending
Just an undisclosed beginning
An untold destiny
that never gets seen
It's a tale that despairs
in pain and emptiness
with someone who finds
comfort in darkness
When you find yourself
screaming into emptiness
with no one to hear
looking for a hand
and finding a void
you wither into nothing
and find no peace
no final dreaming
I was nothing
and am nothing
no one sees
so finding
at the end
no one
heard
me
scream

Fleeing Stars
I shouted your name to the stars
till all that remained was the sky
the stars, they had fled
and i didn't know why
I wanted to ask
so following them
i tried to fly
as you can imagine
I won't be disguised
rivers held me down
birds reminded me who I was
told me what I am
I am not you
made of clouds
warm with summer rain
touched by the sun
I have been grounded
held tight by my roots
petals touched by the time you give to me
still how hard I tried
to reach the deep blue that held you
to feel the yellow and purple
and pink and red
that filled you with feeling
you drifted by so care free
but i have petals not wings
and no way to soar
so i watch from afar
fleeing stars and floating clouds

Spring
I consider myself to be cold,
only few tiny moments of warmth,
then they came along ,
with words I'd not heard,
they said "what are you to me?
you are warm spring showers,
and the wind when it blows,
you are lavender and daisies,
and a tall oak tree,
you are soft and kind,
you make me feel safe."
I see myself as a prison,
filled with frost and pain,
someone no-one wants or needs,
but once someone loved me,
and called me their spring,
so for now I believe,
that's what it means to be me.

Dreaming of a Garden
In death, I believe there is a garden
Full of flowers
Where lanterns hang from trees
I thought I would be scared
I’d always been scared of the dark
But the reaper took my hand
Said “I’ll walk you to the end”
It walked me through the tunnel
To where sun shown brightly
It told me death was made of my dreams
It's a garden
with daisies and marigold,
rue, lavender, and yarrow
It's no more fear
no desire for time
It's never ending sunsets
and softly glowing stars
it's finally finding silence
and not wanting to cry
no stabbing pain
or wishing to be free
No more life to terrify me
I saw it all before I woke
a soft dream, giving me hope
so I am still alive
no reaper here to take me
still scared and trying fleetingly
So I tell myself religiously
In death, there is a garden
where my soul will soon be free

Yellow Tulips
Because, love
it's lying on your floor
listening to you sing
It's the way your eyes shine
Like midnight summer rain
blooming elderflower
dandelions
and daisies of yellow and blue
walking to nowhere
and telling the truth
red converse and coffee
new worlds and new faces
with broken boot laces
so I remember, love
sunshine in your smile
stardust in your words
and butterflies in my stomach
I can recall
deep shining browns
oversized sweaters
and holding your hand
no longer cold
sweet spring rain
bright yellow tulips
and calling your name
sitting knee to knee
and a kiss on your cheek
So now, my love
We’ll just wait and see
Happy Valentine's Day, Z - M

"and they were roommates!" - friends to lovers prompts (roomie edition)
having movie nights that start happening more frequently the more they bond
^ maybe one will purposefully choose a scary movie so that they have an excuse to cling to the other all night
falling asleep on the couch together (and being very flustered at their positions in the morning)
cooking for one another
maybe one learns to cook the other's favorite meal as a treat, the gesture absolutely melting their heart
"hey, can i borrow your hoodie real quick? i'm just heading down to the store and mine isn't really dry yet..."
^ and then they realize that their roommate looks downright adorable in their clothes
they also don't get the hoodie back (and that's completely fine)
as they get more comfortable living together, they start knowing exactly where eachother's belongings are
trying not to get too worried when one comes home too late at night
and when they angrily express this to their roommate, all the other can think of is "why do you care this much?"
trying to hide a blush in the mornings because their morning/sleepy voice is a little too nice to listen to
sharing a bed.
^ then making up more excuses to share a bed after that night just to wake up next to their roommate in the mornings.
drunk confessions while one is taking care of the other
jealousy when they bring dates home
"you look so cute." "i'm literally in my pajamas but okay."
having a lot of space on the sofa yet they still choose to be lying on top of eachother.
"who knew that living together would lead to this?" "thank god it did.."

List of ship dynamics 
Idiot in denial x idiot in denial
The idiot who wouldn't admit they're an idiot x The self-admitted idiot
Mortal x immortal 
“I’d die for you” x “I’d kill for you” 
“I’m so fucking done with you” x “I’m going to be an insufferable bitch and you won’t get rid of me no matter what” 
Character A pretending to hate the attention they get but actually loves the attention they get x Character B showering Character A with love and attention
“You deserve the world” x “No, you” 
Touch starved Character A x physically affectionate Character B
The shy and reserved one x the loud and energetic one
Instead of the tall sunshine x short grumpball, how about a the grumpy tall one x the short ball of sunshine
THE OBLIVIOUS X THE OBVIOUS !!!!
Shy in the streets and loud under the sheets x shy under the sheets and loud in the streets
Public nuisance number 1 x the one who’s always embarrassed to be near said public nuisance
Grumpy one who has a soft spot for the sunshine one x sunshine one who would kill for the grumpy one
The stressed one x the one who tries to help ease their stress but accidentally adds to their stress
The “you holding your knife against my neck and pressing me against the wall like this makes me more horny than scared” with a smirk on their lips x the “what in actual fuck is wrong with you?” with their left eye twitching, grip tightening around the handle of the knife in utter annoyance 
The chaotic ball of sunshine who can’t keep their hands to themselves x the way too serious one who doesn’t know how to deal with showing or accepting affection but still tries, just for the chaotic ball of sunshine they won't admit they're so deeply and almost foolishly in love with
Grim reaper x the human they might have accidentally fallen in love with and now they can’t bear to collect their soul when the time comes
“I fell first” x “Yeah, but I fell harder”
Idiot hero who keeps winning against the villain for some reason x the cunning villain who has secretly fallen in love with the hero a long time ago and so they pretend to lose against the hero each time

To Love
They said to my face
while we were alone
you cannot love, not really
for that was what I heard
not truly what they said
though i do know what they meant
you cannot love another
if you do not love yourself
you must have hope
acceptance and self worth
but Darling
they don't know you
I have loved you while I loathed
ruined and carved
Into my own skin
while my mind collapsed and fell
brows furrowed deep with strain
Darling I will love you
till I've forgotten my own name
I will say that I am flowers
and Love you're summer rain
They say you cannot love someone
If all you feel is pain
But Darling they don't know you
They've never heard your name

Letting Go
so take my hand my dear
i will take your fear
your pain
your sorrow
alas, my love, i feel your despair
your grief
your hollow
why, my gift, do you weep for me?
dear, i never meant to harm you
i only ever did as you asked
a bony hand
a shadow cast
how you longed, my small treasure
you wished
and begged
I heard your pleas, my darling
a call to follow
but you must understand
small ray of light
there is no leaving
with death now in sight

Falling
They pushed you
Oh Darling don't you know
They pushed you and you fell
right off the cliff they made
made for your destruction
for your ruin
but Darling what they didn't see
amidst your dying anguished screams
is that I fell with you
willingly
humbly
choosing my demise
but Darling don't you see
I didn't fall for me
I fell for you
quickly
softly
blindly
to catch you at the end
to love you with my soul, my body, my mind
so, Darling, don't you see
we fall together, free
