its not a poem, just a reminder I’m still here
Trying
Fighting
Not giving up
screaming for help
But i guess no one can hear me.

I sat across from a lady today.
She looked tired—
not sleepy tired, but tired.
Tired of life,
tired of chasing a drug
that just ends up ******* you over in the end.
Tired of the chase,
waking up every morning
just to figure out how to get the next fix.
She smiled and laughed,
but you could hear the pain when she talked.
***** drugged, sold her body—
all the things she endured
just because she needed a fix.
Today, she said she wanted out of the lifestyle.
She talked about her previous clean time.
She wants inpatient,
but everyone is telling her it’s a waste.
My heart hurts
because I fear she may believe them.
I reminded her she was beautiful,
that she still had so much life left to live.
She sat quietly,
counting change out of her purse.
When asked what she needed,
she shrugged and said,
“I need my next fix.”

i sat down with my younger self for coffee.
she was dropped off, i drove myself.
she ordered a frappe, she was wearing a cat shirt with leggings
i ordered a a latte , hoodie and leggings.
not much changed
she shared how she re-met our dad, and how she was excited for the relationship. i held her hands and told her to cherish while she could.
she asked me if we got out of the relationship. i showed her our wedding band and pictures of kids and husband.
she told me she was proud of me. i hugged her hard.
i hope to continue to make her proud 🫰

Tuesday
It’s another day.
Yet is it?
Tuesday is the day we met
Tuesday is the day I seen my whole world change
Tuesday is the day I felt complete
Friday.
Friday is the day you called me cute and laughed at a lame joke i made
Friday is the day you noticed my hair light brown
Friday is the day your hand brushed against mine and chills ran down my body.
Sunday
Sunday is the day I run errands
Sunday is the day I felt excited to see you Monday
Sunday is when my world crashed when I seen you with her
Monday is just a day, like any other day
Monday is the day I miss Tuesday, wishing it was part of Friday
Monday is the day I wipe tears because its a reminder of Sunday,
All the days of the week yet Friday lingers in my mind as if Sunday never existed.

once there was me and you
then it was me and him and you were my bestfriend
next comes me hurt, you comfort and you with her.
after years its me and you, no one else but no relationship
then me
and
you
you with her, you married her, you start a family with her
then
me and sadness
because love stories dont exist, or if they do not to me.

I think the tears that slip out the corners of your eyes when you are laying on your back in your bed are the saddest

Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true

I'm scared you'll see what I see and hate me just as much as I do..
I'm scared you see my past in my eyes and not want a future
the way you look at me, I think you see all my broken pieces and not want to fix me..
but
then sometimes
you look at me and I melt because the way you look at me I feel safe. You look at me in the most sincere way

Thank you..
Thank you so much for walking out of his life or letting him walk out of yours.
Thank you for the opportunity to love him.
To do things with him that makes him smile. (Because god.. if you seen his smile you'd melt)
Thank you for hurting him, because he learned how valuable and special our relationship is.
I will do all the things you failed to do for him,
I'll be there for him.
I'll prioritize him.
I will not make him feel as if hes just an option
I will give him the time and affect he desires (even when he doesn't ask).
I will love him. I will love him so carefully and so hard.
I want take what he has to offer for granted.
Ill do everything in my power to keep him by my side.
I will support his dreams, ill motivate him to chase them
I'll be his partner.
I'll be the woman you couldn't.
but what i wont do is make the same mistakes you did.
I will not ever let him go.
