Fan Running On Ten
Soft fast rain hitting the roof.
Man, makes it sound like the fan is running on 10.
Poetry
Original poetry by Captain Erica.
A Thousand Lifetimes
I lived a thousand lifetimes today
Each one more real than the last
Each one exclaiming, “oh now I get it!”
Each one thinking, “this is the real one”
I made a list.
The Right Person
1. Funny as fuck
2. Weird, within reason
3. Amazing in bed, all about connection
4. Doesn’t take things too seriously
Where Am I Going?
You don’t ask about my grand plans in life.
Too many ask me.
How I got here too,
as if knowing unlocks magic.
Let me fly, it’s time.
Not a singular, circular, rectangular thought floating across my mind.
Strong Woman
What’s a strong woman like?
Dumb Blonde
I wish I was an idiot.
The Margin of Love
I watched and learned and knew one day it could be me losing your love just like that split second gone poof vanished.
Safe Room
There’s a safe room in my mind. I can go there anytime to hide out from the bad guys.
Here Are Some Flowers
I don’t really know who I am.
Wanting
It’s perfect. It’s beautiful. The hurt, it was meant to be.
Life Cycle of Love
I really really really like you. I love you. Do you love me too? All we need is love.
Forget You
Told myself “someday”
I Fell Apart
I fell apart. I stopped sleeping. Then I slept again, but this time all through the day.
Little Bird, What Are You Thinking?
Little bird what are you thinking? “It’s not enough to fly away”
Where Do You Go
Where do you go when someone else turns out your light?
Hate Me Because
We weren’t the perfect persons pretending to be us.
Kept Promises
I kept my promises.
Broken Bird
Am I just a broken bird?
Burning It Down
Emotion like a lake
Throwing Rocks
Hey boy why you throwing rocks at that bird?
