I see the trace of his outline as he walks into the sunset
a silhouette against the twilight
an apple falling to his hands.
Soon the moon will rise
and then with it my hopes
just as I know he will return.
We reveled in these good times
as the day turns into night
time and time again.
We shall cherish all we have
We shall love with all our might.
This portrait of you shall stay with me
in my heart, forever alive.
It’s the end of our beginning
beyond infatuation.
Real commitment.
The realization
each day shall bring us closer
even when we are away.
This feeling we share
unites us in so many ways.
Crashing through our lives
Like so many waves
crystal blue water
salty skin
facing fears
being brave.
Ever in my thoughts
his radiance so desired.
I just want to be close to him
walking into the sunset
holding his hand in mine.

She saw her imaginary friends
She saw the colors again
She saw her life unfolding
And she was in control
No one telling her what to do or where to go
She doesn’t beg or chase
She’s free in this life
She removed her own chains
She is finally herself again
She shines.

I want to hear your thoughts
from your perspective
Not by your words to me
but from your words to you.
I want to know your brain
without all of the edits.

Kisses on the shoulder blade while I play you your favorite songs on the piano.

Please, be gentle.
My leaves have shriveled and fallen
time and time again now.
So you understand.
Be gentle, please.

Him:
You ma’am, have quite the amazing way with your words.
Me:
Thank you, sir. Though, with all due respect, they are, yours.

They stuck her with needles,
then asked why she screamed

Did you prefer her perfume over mine?
Bare vanilla shimmer.
Was there a softness to her that I didn’t have?
I had a sweet tooth for broken guys.
Maybe I made you feel strong.
Would you have loved us both forever?
If I never thought to ask for “more”
I never knew who really was the other woman
You loved her first,
but I loved you more.
We were caught in a whirlpool,
but I would have drowned for you.
I’m still coughing up water,
from the last time we kissed.
Did you take my fire home to her?
Did you burn her down with the matches you used on me?
Did you ever call her my name?
Did you think of me while she was in your arms?
Your reasons were so desperate,
begging me to stay
Even when you wanted me to go.
Your promises came with asterisks.
You wanted me... but only sometimes
and honestly, not for forever.
I learned to lean into the chaos,
into your roller coaster of emotions.
I thought that loving you
was worth losing myself.
Idiotic fool.
It’s been six months since I spoke to you.
It’s been 4 months since you tried calling last.
I’d like to think
that I’m finally clean.
But a small part of me misses the madness.
The colors.
The secret language.
I miss the feeling of falling in love
for the first time.
But it’s not supposed to feel like drowning.
