On the Edge
On The Edge (By Cat Matchuk)
I can no longer tell if this shadow
hidden
somewhere deep
was created or always was. Continue reading “On the Edge”
I Screamed
I Screamed (By Cat Matchuk)
I screamed
at the top of my lungs,
but in my head,
no one heard.
Double Trouble
Double Trouble (By Cat Matchuk)
It was a tragic incident. Losing a loved one always is. But this tragedy struck the small town of Twin Peak Valley like a lightning bolt, and disappeared just the same. Even the parents of the missing girl passed by her empty coffin, without so much as a glance. It was as if the whole thing never happened.
Uninvited Guest
Uninvited Guest (By Cat Matchuk)
There you were, frail and weak,
if I touched you, you were sure to fall apart.
I knew you were there, and I knew you were alive,
I could hear it from the beating of your heart.
Blame
Blame (By Cat Matchuk)
Day brought the shadows when it shone too bright,
created the darkness to dance with the light.
Blame the sun for burning,
fire on your skin,
and watch as the clouds abandon the sky.
Crumbled Dust
Crumbled Dust (By Cat Matchuk)
You see me, you see right through,
past the flesh and into the heart.
Awaking from a dream just to stumble across the broken concrete of buildings,
you wish to be dreaming again, it’s better.
