I am Christina Marie Hollis


While many don't say the words they want to, I write mine down. It's my way of speaking the feelings that many keep locked in their hearts. That way they know they are not alone, in this crazy world we call home.

As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do.

I just remembered that time at the market, snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart and rode down aisle 5. You looked behind you to smile back at me, crashed into a rack full of magazines. They asked us if we could leave.

Can’t remember, what went wrong last September, though I’m sure that you’d remind me, if you had to.

Our love was comfortable and so broken in.

I sleep with this new girl I’m still getting used to. My friends all approve, say she’s gonna be good for you. They throw me high fives. She says the bible is all that she reads, and prefers that I not use profanity. Your mouth was so dirty. Life of the party and she swears that she’s artsy. But you could distinguish miles from Coltrane.

Our love was, comfortable and so broken in. She’s perfect, so flawless, or so they say, say.

She thinks I can’t see the smile that she’s fakin’ and poses for pictures that aren’t being taken. I loved you. Grey sweat pants, no makeup, so perfect.

Our love was, comfortable and so broken in. She’s perfect, so flawless.

I’m not impressed, I want you back.
