It’s when my serotonin
Dances with dopamine,
And endorphins meet up with oxytocin
At their favorite bar for happy hour
That I think of you.
//
When the scent of fresh brewed coffee
Transports me back to the old diner
Where we shared booths and breakfasts...
//
How my laughter feels
Like the aftershocks
Of your jolting jokes,
Timed like earthquakes.
//
Sadness
Does not spark the memories...
When I was with you,
I smiled.
//
So now,
When my mouth curls up
Like an upside down rainbow,
Your face returns.
//
But as I step towards you,
The rug pulls out from underneath
And my feet land in the quicksand
Hiding below...
But I do not struggle.
//
Let it take me slowly,
So I can stare into your eyes
And allow my gaze to linger
Until I am swallowed whole.

I have been writing poetry and lyrics since I was a child. I have recently started writing short scripts for “found footage” horror TikToks. I dream of writing books and full length screenplays. Thanks for being in this community with me!
It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
