Purple Rain

Jumbled around and swirling
As if the memories are the
just-flushed toilet with the water
racing to get out.

It was the little things
that pieced it all together.
And finally the pieces fit right,
as if your friendship was a puzzle.
You had finally found that one person that understood you.


The one person that laughed with you for twenty minutes
over absolutely nothing.
The person that trudged around town with you;
Your flip-flops slapping off of the pavement.
The person that went to the same movie twice in a day
Just so you both got to make out with your boyfriends.
The one person that you had a couple's name with.
(it was Shaley Welaiser)
And an anniversary with, too.
(June 19, 2008)


But eventually,
You will realize that the perfect fitting pieces were
just jammed together
to make the puzzle fit.
And the puzzle picture that you once thought
was beautiful
makes no picture
at all.

Starting A Blog

I've decided to start a blog and commit to it. Usually, I start things and end up not finishing them, but I'm determined not to do that this time. The name "Come Right Out and Say It" comes from a song by the band Relient K (check them out!). And, like the song says, I've decided to completely honest during the blog with my thoughts and feelings because I'd rather have the truth than something insincere.
