As I come to write, I blank. Its like I have so much to say and then it all stops. Why? As I come to write, It’s like the woman holding the pen is new, Shaken yet steady Healing but hurting As I come to write, a baby cries and scatters my thoughts among the floor. Finding them among the puzzle piecies, magnetic tiles and shoes seems… Daunting. But Why? Maybe its cause the girl who used to walk the train tracks is gone… The one who drove drunk and sang to the morning sun. Maybe its cause our song has changed. Gained a few voices along the way. Maybe its cause the girl who used to find herself in others, is starting to fill the gaps in. Maybe its cause those new voices slowed her down enough that she was able to understand that alone, she is whole. Yet, as I come to write.. I blank.

Theres a string, An invisble one. Its starts in your heart and it ends in mine. No matter the distance, separation or different paths in life, Theres a string. And it starts in your heart and it ends in mine.

Forever Yours
Monday Night.. After work and dinner After providing space for big emotions (yours, your sisters and my own) After working through the mess in my head, Laundry, Laundry needs to be done But you are sleepy and need me to sleep It's hard for me to be still, to not accomplish the tasks constantly laid out in front of me but you need me to sleep So I'll let the laundry sit, forgo the upteenth time I've walked through the house putting **** away today.. You need me to sleep, So I'll sit with you.

I feel like a ghost Like I’m here but in there, somewhere, hiding I paint an ugly picture of me all the time that i try to keep clean But after your truth yesterday, there is no organizing.. It’s black, moldy. It’s hideous and unkind, It’s damaged goods thrown out, It’s sadness and longing, disappointment and let downs, Its lack of security and grounding, It’s eat or get eaten, it’s alone. Fragile I guess is an understatement But I’ve been the one to break you so many times… I can’t seem to feel your love, I think it missed me as I was trying to clean, organize, survive - my **** The hurt, hurt Our relationship is testimony to that We should of walked away, so many times, so long ago.. but we’re here still.. crying Maybe then you’d be a better you, a more whole you with out the added on hurt I’ve caused. The weight of our past is crushing me The weight of my actions are hard to look at The weight of the hypocrisy is real I keep on trying to clear things out To reset the foundation beneath After so many failed attempts, I don’t think I know how to do that. Everything thing I seem to use isn’t holding. I’m scrambling for healing so I don’t lose you, lose us, lose me to this hole. That’s really me, the damage I’ve done, who I am. What Ive been, a mean, unkind, self centered ***** I guess I do own a glass house. Well idk about own, it’s all Ive known. But these boulders I’ve claimed are here for safe keeping and when I throw them, they take a lot out, but i fear that if I keep that up one day I’ll be homeless. Cause I’m just a sad girl, in a glass house, who’s learned the art of war.. and unfortunately for you, you love me.

It’s been a tiresome week Filled with tears and hard talks But there was progress It’s been a tiresome week Filled with lies unveiled But there was progress It’s been a tiresome week With souls laid bare But there was progress, well at least I thought It was a tiresome day Filled with betrayal and more deceit It erased the progress

Hardened
It’s said there is a hole inside and although that maybe true I feel as though I’m asking to much,   yet, I really doubt that is true. Yes there is a hole inside, I’m patching it up - day by day But on those days when I’m insecure I need to be coddled, then made aware This hole, yes it lives inside of me I am not doubting that it’s there It’s just that it makes your love , Something I wish not to share.

The love I want/ the love you give
Stuck on a single tab With a hole dug into my chest

The love I have for this human is by far the sweetest thing to touch my heart. She is of my womb, of my ansestors and of my guides. May she never let anyone dim her light, may she dance to the beat of her own drum, may she never lower her voice but scream and kick and make her claim upon this world. May she be of magic, of the night, of crystals and sage. May she be of courage and rebellion. May she be of love. The love I have for this human by far reaches the darkest depths of my soul.

To you, May I love you, Know you and be proud. When the mirror yells good morning,             hydrate When the job demands more of you,        time never stops When your husband needs his partner,       be kind When you fail, you find grace When your guides move, follow When your nature calls, answer When you need to cry, please do When you need a friend, call When kindness is an option, take it When hurt comes, find laughter I put blessings on blessings upon you, receive them
