I do not remember
the last time I saw you
how unfair it is
that we are always
so unprepared
to capture a finale
we always think
there will be
one more scene.

I’ve wanted to work on a project like this for awhile and sweet mariannapaige talked with me about it (since I thought hers looked so lovely) and now I’m working on organizing my work and figuring out what to include!
If there was ever a piece of mine that stuck with you, could you tell me what it is? I’m not guaranteeing that I will include anything, but I would love to hear if anything struck a chord with you. And I’ll keep everyone updated on progress/how to buy one, etc., when things get going!
Thoughts? :)
ajsmusicmadness asked: ok like, im getting mad i cant write as well as you. BUT KEEP GOING! its inspiring me to try harder.
Don’t compare yourself to me or other people! Just write!!
I have forgotten
what you look like
not the color of your hair
or the shape of your chin
but the way your eyes
squint in the sunlight
or when you’re trying
to understand
and the shape of your lips
when they are forming my name.
Forgetting the little things
hurts more than
not being able
to forget your name.
What I want
is not a
one night stand
but a one night
romance
coming together
and leaving before
the world has a chance
to make us rough.
I can complain about this place
because it is mine
and I have left
no path unexplored.
When I leave
I will own nothing
and I am terrified
I will want nothing else.
I cannot get over the feeling
that people forget about me
as soon as I leave.
Anonymous asked: You should write poems about same-sex relationship between two guys, too! :)
I feel like a lot of my love poems are general enough to work for anyone!
Anonymous asked: Hello Meghan. I love your work, It inspires me to try spend more time on mine. :) I hope you're having a wonderful day :)
Hi! Thank you so much — I love hearing that I inspire other people to write :) I hope you’re having a lovely day as well!
If you’ve ever replied to one of my poems and said something nice I’m sorry if I didn’t respond to it but please know I’m smiling a lot and will probably go reread it when I’m sad
I live in a town
where everyone is in basements
writing songs about
escaping
but walk into the bar
on any weekday night
and everyone’s lyrics
are at the bottom of the bottles
lining the walls.
Some people wear sadness like a crown
beautiful and overdressed
their heads
always heavy
others wear it like a cape
no matter what the temperature
they are sweltering
getting tangled
any time they move their arms
still some do not wear it
but have it tattooed
in the smalls of their backs
the insides of their thighs
places only seen
by the people
they deem worthy
of the privilege.
Some people are flowers
you are meant to look at
and admire
but when you hold them
and bring them inside
their days are numbered.
Maybe if little boys
were more often given dolls
they would realize
how easy it is
to break porcelain women.
