Toxic

When we’re fighting

Everything spirals and blurs

And I can’t help

Remembering when

Everything once stood still.

Touches have become rough

Oh how we used to

Xoxo all night and day.

Invisible scars now litter my heart

Can we work through this?

Together for eternity

Oh how long that seems now.

Gray skies cloud over our sunny day

Even now, our broken

Tears rush over our

Happiness. But through the storm

Everything stands still and I

Remember when.

Chelsea Wolfe

I have my masters in English & Creative Writing! I'm a mom of two girls and a Husky pup. I'm usually a late-night writer, but I have had to adapt due to kids, work, and having a social life. Now I write every chance I get. I'm constantly looking for other writers to connect with because only writers understand the struggles of writing. I typically write New Adult and I've been dipping my hand in multiple subgenres to fit my interests at the time. This leaves me with multiple projects going at once. If I'm not writing, I can usually be found cuddling in my favorite corner of my mini library reading a book (usually my kids are reading their books with me) or out in the city for a girl's night.
