She & I: A Poem

A poem about falling in and out of love.

She & I: A Poem

It's getting so dark I can barely see

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Sweet little nothings whispered to me

They don't hold any validity

Had me feeling so insecure

The heavy heart is an absent cure

It's become so hollow this part of me

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be


What's today if you've slipped away

The heart of hearts is broken apart

Tomorrows just a shame if you're away

You'd rather see me fallen apart


Woman DrowningChristopher Campbell


Sometimes I wish to cut myself on glass

Maybe then you'll finally pass

In my reach is something wonderful

But I'm afraid to be the fool

Tangled up in blue, what can I do

I believe I can fall in love with you

Easy mistakes are the ones that come true

Maybe you feel the same way too


What's time if you aren't mine

It felt so fake, even from the start

I have you now, but it feels like borrowed time

Cast your burden right from the start


Man DrowningCarlos Domínguez

It's getting so dark this little light of mine

Maybe she snuffed it out, made me blind

Temptation hides between her thighs

And in her eyes a thousand other lies

These violent delights have violent ends

Foolishly I believed we made amends

Reluctantly letting the right one in

Maybe we're not meant to win


What's yesterday, but a day too far away

Each goodbye seems to be the last

Each minute here is another minute away

When can I love you at last?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
