Among all the other crazy stuff going on, The Raven (our school literary magazine) just came out and I got four poems published. *insert extreme blushing and squealing* Two I've already posted (To My Dad and On Holding Hands) but I thought I'd share this one with y'all.
Enjoy.

Typewriting a Eulogy
If words of death and dust become thee so,
Upon my shoulder look and bear no fear,
For I, ‘till recent times but shed a tear—
Refused to let my hungry heartache grow.
Frenzied keys in darkness typed to and fro,
Remembering the likeness of my dear.
Though prose her name and figure would besmear,
A bloodied fool I’d be to let her go.
The clock by which her years so quickly flew,
Keeps taunting me in dreams all night and day,
Awaiting to obscure my tainted fate.
And still, my love for her she never knew.
The words I always meant, I’d never say,
For somehow, I’ve a knack for being late.
..........
There you have it.
I'm sorry I've disappeared for so long. I finish sophomore year of high school next week. I'm trying really hard to keep it together for just 6 more days.
6 days.
That's all.
Hasta la próxima,
Much love xoxo
Maya
