I'm angry. I loved you, so consumingly Yet, I wasn't enough for you. You didn't believe that you deserved to be loved, I don't blame you. I know I am so much better without you Yet, you still hold piece of me. I'm angry that I can't fully release you. I let you go in pieces and each time it hurts the same. I want to hate you How do you hate someone you loved so wholeheartedly? I know you're not meant to be part of my life So why does it still feel like you're missing from it? I have never know your true feeling and that hurts worse, Did I ever really know you? Or did I love a version of you that never existed? Maybe I never knew you. Maybe the weight was too much for you. Maybe you never loved me. Maybe you loved me so much you had to walk away. Maybe I should walk away. Or maybe goodbye isn't final, and I'm still waiting for you to say hello.

My life changed the second I saw it. 5:30 am barely awake, Routine check up "just to be safe" No expectations.. it took a minute, When those lines popped up It didn't click. What the **** Is this even real? No this can't be real, right? Oh my God... My life is about to change. Sadness, numbness. What the **** Back in bed, he's still asleep. Do I wake him? No he needs to rest. Okay wait, he's waking up. Do I tell him right away? My mind is spinning. How am I pregnant? We are so careful. He's up, what do I do? He notices my mind spiraling without me saying a word.. Can I tell you something? I don't know if I should. I just took the test. And.....? Dead silence. You're pregnant? What... the.... **** You sure it's accurate? Nah, that can't be accurate. It's a fake positive. Must be. Jokes on us, it's was real. I've never experienced such confused emotions. We are going to be parents....

Two Lines
You and me, we are bound, like the silence to the sound, like a heartbeat to a breath, like life is bound to death.

We are bound
Lily white, regal dress, floating down the aisle. Suit and tie, standing there, waiting to be mine. In this moment, I take thee to be mine. Our fates sealed, a faithful kiss. Your body and mine, electric and divine, waiting, anticipating the dark of the night. Locked eyes, sly lips, the tease— an inevitable dance. Breaths deepen, Fingers linger. In this crowded room, it all just disappears, awaiting release. Every vow collides in a sacred dance, leaving no space between your breath and mine— as temples rise to sing and worship the love God shaped, when two become one.

I "run like a girl". That's what they told me on the school yard. I didn't take steps big enough. I wasn't like a boy. I "talk like a girl". That's what they said to me when I was telling a story. I talked too much. I wasn't like a boy. I'm "too weak". That's what they said to me when I asked to help carry chairs. I was a girl. I wasn't like a boy. I'm a "man-hater". That's what they called me when I defended women's rights. I believe in equality. I am a woman. I'm "radical". That's what they yelled at me when I said pro-choice. I want safety for women. I am a woman. I am "too strong". That's what they told me when I took care of myself. I don't need a man's approval. I am a woman. I am a woman. I am not a man. I run like a woman, I talk like a woman. I am strong like a woman. I am caring like a woman. Because I am not a man.

"like a girl"
I wish to never know a touch that isn’t yours, or a presence not shaped by God for me. May the warmth of your breath tracing the back of my neck haunt me all my days. And in that longing, let me kneel in the softness of devotion. Let me wash your feet and quiet the storms inside you. May you find safety in the home we build together. And from that safety, let our eyes meet in eternity. Let your lips crave only mine. Then commit your body and soul to mine. Let us be undone, lost in the bliss we’ve vowed to share. Even in bliss, I pray that distance never finds us, and shadows never plague us. For God knows my heart will always be yours. So if I surrender to love, I surrender wholly to the touch that steadies me. I kneel in spirit before the one my soul calls home.

Surrender
Death in the family, Pain in your heart, Numb in the face, Playing the part. Inside of your mind You feel painful sting, But you cannot cry It’s a societal thing. Sneaking away, One in the dark, You shed a tear, Your emotional mark. Family at the casket, lined up like crewman But its not manly to cry. Its Human.
