Dear ..., I know times are hard,
Heavy clouds are shadowing your heart.
But I also know that weather can change,
Even when hope feels distant and strange.
You'll dance again, you'll live and love,
And see you've always been enough.
I've told you before—souls never die,
And yours still glows, a light in the sky.
You've got shoulders to cry on,
You are not alone,
You've got me as a friend
A place you can call home.
So take your time, heal yourself,
Go, take a break,
I'll be here for however long,
I'll wait.

Moonlight slips between the blinds,
Breaking binds over our minds.
I taste the mint upon your tongue;
You breathe me in — sweat and cologne.
Unhook, unbutton, kiss, unzip,
Bite your tongue; you bruise my lip.
It's strange how swiftly we return
To the rhythm our bodies learned.
Velvet-red marks stain my neck;
We're past the point of turning back.
This craving pulls like a riptide —
Drags us under what we hide.
Sunlight peeks between the blinds,
Harsh and holy on our lies.
Cough, cold sweat, wake-up regret,
As I light up your cigarette.

Outside the bar, into the cold.
Numbness takes over control.
Everything slows down, stands still,
The aftermath of a sick thrill.
I lay under the starry night,
Motionless, dehumanized.
On melting slush, I see my breath,
Raising up over my head.
A shooting star slides down the sky,
A shining path into the light.
Purposefully dying for
Granting wishes to the world.
What a graceful way to die,
Followed by all hopeful eyes.
Carrying people's hopes and dreams,
The dying of the gleaming beams.

You're out of sight, out of mind,
Your shadow can't haunt me tonight.
Under the lights, I'll find my way,
Escape the sorrow, drown the pain.
I want to dance and sing along,
Like in a trance, lost in the song.
*** & coke, smoke, disco ball,
Bottoms up, next round—let's go.
The groove gets me carried away,
With every move—rewind, replay.
Worries pause, but my heartbeat
Syncs itself with every beat.
My shirt is soaked, but eyes are dry,
It feels so good to be alive.
I'm swept away with reckless ease,
I've kissed a thousand memories.

When the freshly fallen snow,
Blissful symbol of the cold,
Turns to ***** heavy slush
Underneath the people's rush.
The white, pristine, dissolves to mud;
As solid state becomes a flood.
And I am stepped on as I melt,
Faster than I've ever felt.
The dirt creeps up from underneath,
Staining everything beneath.
I need the cold to stay alive;
I need to freeze just to survive.
I know you want to wash me off,
I can't escape what I'm made of.
Your love is what I've always feared;
Its warmth could make me disappear.

There is a past you should know of,
When I was way over my head—
Before your warmth, before your love,
When emptiness was all I had.
I couldn't spend time on my own,
So I'd hit the downtown scene:
Meet somebody, take them home,
Just longing to be loved and seen.
The empty bottles on the floor,
The marks upon my neck, the sweat—
Insatiable, starving for more,
The bedsheets burning, soaking wet.
The dawn after the night before
Sent icy shivers down my spine;
With every teardrop that I'd pour,
I'd drown myself in bitter wine.
The crumpled pack of cigarettes,
The ashtray and its overflow;
Within the mist of my regrets,
The hidden truth I'd never show.
But now you know:
I was just
Desperately alone.

Orchard of orange
trees bathing in the sunlight-

I had thick cheeks,
My stomach round,
And my jawline
Was nowhere to be found.
I was wearing the shape
Of a bitter shame,
Too big to fit
Within my mirror's frame.
Cruel jokes
Collapsed my house of cards,
Shattered my reflection
Into countless shards.
Voices grew louder —
Like echoes in the dark,
Haunting every chamber,
Of my weakened heart.
Slowly, hunger,
Like a wicked friend
Became the spiral
I'd descend.
The untouched meals,
The sweat, the cold,
The ***** the gym,
The never told.
Coffee, water,
Cigarettes,
The guilt, the shame,
And the regrets.
Months later,
My bones began to show,
Like crude green grass
Through the melting snow.
Then I realized,
I had overdosed —
As my face resembled
The figure of a ghost.
From:
"You look fat, you're way too thick,"
To:
"Now you're too skinny, you look sick."
And sick I was, my dear —
Sickened by your voice,
Sick of all the fear,
Sick of all the noise.
Years passed by —
My tears have dried.
Sunlight rose across my sky,
A warmth returned,
Replaced the cold—
As winter faded,
I grew strong.

Everyone I've ever known
They all come and then they go
And I stand still, I'm like a tree
Rootless, swaying in the wind.
Bits and pieces of myself
Quietly broke loose and fell
But in the shadow of my mind,
I still wish I'd put up a fight.
Life goes on but here I stand
Waiting for my roots to mend
Longing to be loved and held,
Waiting for a steady hand.
Time slips past before my eyes
I'm watching it from the sidelines
Ungrounded, haunted by this thought—
As I grow old, I may not sprout.
Seasons come and seasons go
And this is all I've ever known.
I'm hoping one day I'll grow fruit,
Spread my roots, then heal my wounds.

Love; so many ways
to use this word. You chose to
use it as a sword.
