  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  Blink

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  Sitting on the cold, hardwood floors, bare feet pressing into the surface. Neck is craned, eyes wide, knees are hugged to chest. Tears slip down the pale cheeks as a scene comes into view. Through the window, do you see? A man, at first, walking in, eyes sunken and face hollow. Knocks on the door an...

  Never Ending Cycle

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  And the Earth will continue spinning, the Sun will continue shining, and the tides will continue to change. No matter how much torment and suffering is being delt to the insignifigant arrogance christened to be "Life." No matter who lives, who dies which battles are won, or...

  The Endless Game

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  Something is coming, Something falling Down, down to the icy blue surface. It could be the sweet Cherry petal, Blown on the winds of change. Or perhaps the hard, jagged stone, Thrown recklessly and without cause. Calmly, the water waits without even pondering what is to come. Wil...

  The Summer Freeze

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  In the midst of gentle breezes and mild, golden sunlight my heart is freezing. The cold breath of lonliness and solitude chilling my very soul. So I sit, and wait for Autumn to thaw me, and Winter to warm me, before Spring and Summer subdue me once more....

  Pen, Far Mightier Than Steel

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  I write in pen because pen cannot be erased; It can be covered up, whited out, and written over But the marks the ink leave never truly go away. The ink stays forever. I live to the fullest because I cannot be erased; I will not be covered up, whited out, or written over The pmarks I leave o...

  Broken Hearts and Merciless Clocks

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  The moonlight glows Through the stained window Which heartbreakingly knows: It is not real. Yet still it yearns To love and to feel The child crys On this day Her soul dies Confusion and pain A lifetime or torments All due to one flickering flame Darkness envelops light This neve...

  Life Lines

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  I darken the lines of fear and regret, So perhaps, just maybe, I will see More clearly the mistakes I have made I lighten the lines of friendships So the laughs and memories of thirteen years Are free to float about my head I tie down the lines of love and loss Bringing those I care abou...

  Friendship

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  Friendship is exactly as it sounds; a ship of friends. Who work together to get the ship moving. Who live with each other’s actions and decisions. Who help the others with their problems, should they arise. There are calm waters; when our friendship lies undisturbed. There are fierce stor...

  Intensity

  

  By Lindsey_O, Marshfield, MA

  The tears poured off her eyelids; slid down her cheeks; fell to the floor. Slowly she sank to the ground, trembling slightly. Her breath came in deep sobs, wracking her chest. She barely had enough air. She did not hear the soft footfalls coming ever closer. She did not see him as he sat down next t...
