  Yearning

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  I yearn For that cozy little town, Tucked among the treetops On that gentle mountainside. I yearn For the snug, warm bedroom, Nestled in the attic, Frost spidering the windows. I yearn For the serenity, Of seeing nothing but rock all around, And sapphire sky above. I yearn For the...

  I Like It That Way

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  In the social hierarchy, I am nothing. I don't have the best clothes, Hollister, Abercrombie, or Pink. And I like it that way. I don't have thirty boyfriends, Or a huge texting bill, Or lip gloss For every day of the year. And I like it that way. I don't have perfect hai...

  Do You?

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  If you knew that seeing you causes me pain. Your smile ignites a fuse in me, Your laugh detonates a bomb. But you look past me now. I am no more yours than I am the president. We used to be happy, Or at least I did. You look at me now like I'm an annoyance. I am a pesky fly You want ...

  Dumped

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  Dumped. In a ditch. No light to be found. No love. No happiness. You left me In a pit of despair. Wishing you hadn't. Wishing I hadn't. I gave you my heart, And you stole it. Ripped it, Squeezed it, Stabbed it. And you gave it to her. You knew I loved you. And you ...

  Homework

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  I am hated, Disliked, Loathed, Unpopular. There are times when I feel So Unwanted I Just Want To Scream. But we have hardly met yet. I Am Homework. I am schoolwork, Done At Home, Forgotten, Detested. How do you think it feels, To Be Crumpled, Messy, And Boring? ...

  This is It?

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  I unwrap the gift. A sweater? Seriously? Instead of rolling my eyes, I smile, Hug them, Paste a fake smile on my face. "Thank you." That ugly, chunky sweater Sits there, Sluggish and formidable, An indescribable color, Like when I mixed Peanut butter, Jelly, And red food...

  Homeless

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  Think, while you're here at your computer, About the children everywhere who are starving, Alone, Cold, Homeless. Nobody to love them, To hug them, to hold them. They need our help. Homeless. A child who is terrified, A child who begs. Just another face in the shadows, Homeles...

  The Dance of Twilight

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  Sunlight spatters window panes, Melts the fading treetops. Lulls the birds to sleep, Awaits its friend, darkness. Sunsets come and sunsets fade. But at the end of the day, Their dancing and happiness Is reflected in our hearts. Glowing gold is spun Into a thin thread. Which tangles in...

  The Monster

  

  By Consulting-Detective, Andover, MA

  Sharp teeth grab me and nip my face, Engulfing my world in a misty darkness. The claws of the beast scratch me, Maim me, and I cower in fear. It slaps me and throttles me, Until I can bear it no longer. Is it fear, darkness, guilt, Or something worse? You decide....
