old poems from an odd time. circa 2015-2016 (ish).

Katrina's best friend Marco dies in a mall shooting when they're fourteen years old. Three years later, she's starting her senior year of high school and beginning to forget, at last. Her life had become as bearable as it could possibly be, until Ian - Marco's older brother - comes back to town. He comes back changed, dangerous, and enigmatic. Katrina can't stay away, despite the overflow of memories his presence brings to her. A catastrophic relationship is born, one the world never wanted and most definitely won't permit.

To sum up my deep, meaningful words to you: Fuck off.

"Take me somewhere far away from this place called world" There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who would not even step into puddles for you. There comes a time when you have to stand up for yourself, when you have to put the past and all the pain behind to become who you really are. Because She gave him her everything, and he gave her nothing in return.
