Loss of innocent life.

For the Unborn Never Die

They don’t make graves

For unborn babies.

So where do I go

when I feel empty in the deepest way?

You sit between life and death.

Were you ever really alive to die?

You are purgatory and limbo.

The twilight of my existence.

I remember how she looked

As I asked,

When will he be born?

I felt the world.

I understood the weather was transitioning

As I watched her smile fall.

Oh, how the room went

cold and my eyes went dry.

We come from the same body.

You and I share blood and face.

When they look at me I see you reflected in their eyes.

When I look in the mirror I see you there as well.

I try to guess you

By making you with pieces of us.

Autumn belongs to you

In every moment I picture us.

No one but you owns that season.

You are my fall and my decay.

The perfect metaphor for how it feels

To think about you.

Cold and frozen at first,

But as the days go on I defrost.

Sometimes it’s just too much.

I get the urge to love you.

It overflows outside my cupped hands

With no place to put it, I sit there,

Drink it back up,

Only to cry it out again.

Do you know I love you?

Can you feel me through time and space?

What happens to the atoms of you when we let you go?

I like to think you split off, like the big bang

When they cut your red string of fate from ours.

That way I know you live forever:

The eternal autumn child.

Red moons and bleeding suns remind me

What happened wasn’t pretty.

Pouring rain and the wind screaming

Remind me how she feels knowing you are gone.

The silence that comes after reminds me

No one will ever know how you feel.

But there is no shame in you.

Every year, when the weather gets cold,

The leaves start to fall,

People bundle up,

And the holidays fill the world.

I remember.

I look around and you are beautiful.

You are twinkling lights,

Pumpkin patches,

Evergreen and crunching hot leaves

You have me praying we’ll be reborn together.

You are my greatest regret,

The grandest unrequited love.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
