Estranged Stories

Poems from the Good, the Bad, and the Truth in Between

Completed. _________________ What if your heart still yearns for the one who effortlessly tore it out to stamp it and then spit on it? She was so obvious, they said. And he? So oblivious, they said. He was a constant, her Northern star, burning bright. Or so she had thought. Sometimes, all forevers aren't just meant to be. Or is it? 45 minutes, 2 familiar strangers, and 1 bus ride. The clock is ticking. ________________ Cover made by yours truly.

We were together and Then we became estranged....

They thought they knew their father. They were wrong. When twins Calista and her brother are forced to move in with their estranged mother and her perfect new family, it feels like punishment. Their father, Mike Mercer, has just been arrested for murder, and the whole town is watching. Their mother, now married to the town's mayor, claims she's offering them shelter-but it's clear they're just here to keep up appearances. The mansion smells like bleach and secrets. The twins are treated like strangers. And the silence around what really happened with their father is deafening. But memories don't stay buried forever. As flashbacks resurface and truths unravel, they begin to question everything they believed about the man who raised them-and the people who abandoned them. This isn't just a story about family. It's about survival, identity, and the terrifying cost of loyalty. In a house built on lies, how do you know who to trust-even when it's each other?

Clint's relationship with his brother is estranged... but he remembers a time when it wasn't that way. And deep down, he knows that he still cares about Barney.

The Last One Out is the haunting story of a sister left in the wreckage while her brothers disappeared one by one. Through childhood memories, painful goodbyes, and fragile reunions, she carries the weight of what was lost-and what still lingers. In this two-part reflection, she tells the story of Matt, the brother who left but never really came back, and the ache of missing someone who is still alive. It's a story of broken homes, scattered family, and the quiet strength it takes to stay when everyone else is gone.

I am not poor. I am not hungry. I am not depressed. I am not suicidal. I do not have cancer or diabetes, nor do any of my loved ones. But I am something, something that makes me want to run into a closet with all my childhood imaginary monsters rather than step out and face the real ones that surround me everyday. I am scared.
