Before the day demands it -
And the world tries to steal it -
And for my children I honor it -
….I give it to myself first.

You only saw dead flowers
where I saw a field wishes.

I stretch
Arms high
Legs long,
Reaching for the sky.
Like,
God help me,
If I could
Reach Heaven,
This pain would subside.
And all these months
Of breaking
And bending
Over and over and over
Would be a mere dream.
That somehow
The fighting
The tears
The I love you, but I can't
Were
Made up memories.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stretch,
Arms to the sky,
No looking down.
Remind myself...
I don't need you
To get me high.
I have wings
You can't touch.
I can get me high.

It was
A beautiful unfolding,
The way his
Words
Unwove
All the intricate knots
That held together
The pieces of
My tender heart.

Lost in spaces
Between
Smiling faces
And hungry hands...
Deep blue eyes
And ocean sands.
I found him
On the shoreline,
This magic man.
His smile
Crinkled at corners
Where kisses
Ached to be placed,
Burning joy
Into my skin,
Breathing life
Into my brokenness.
And..
Before it came,
Had to let it go.
Set fire to dreams
Where love could grow.
Left me standing
In a September breeze
Surrounded
By swaying trees.
With a yellow heart,
And a small pink scar,
And dreams
Left unseen.

How many times
Did we say hello
And then goodbye;
Did we crash
And burn
And then collide?
Our hearts
Danced in rhythm
Like petals
Off that pine tree breeze.
Taste your lips,
Feel your touch-
Replay you
On repeat
In fading memories.
Tomorrow is coming
But already gone.
I can't be there
To whisper a song..
And as you lay
Dreaming soft dreams,
Praying for relief,
Without me-
I'll replay you
On repeat
In fading memories.

I will
Ink my flesh.
Swim until
I'm out of breath.
Run
Until I collapse.
Drink until
I can laugh.
Pray
On bended knee.
Sing until
My lungs bleed.
Kiss the lips
Of men at a bar.
Give myself away
At the expense of my heart.
Just so
I forget...
To remember...
You left.

In a world
Where feeling
Is weak
I set fire
To myself
Just to remember
I can bleed.

He sings me poems
And paints landscapes
On my alabaster flesh,
Tells me
Write a ******* story
That I'd want
My kids to live.
He can't love me
Like I love him.
But for one night
Let's me borrow
The love I give.
I take it back.
Cherish this ****
I'm once in a lifetime,
That
I'll never find.
So he sings me poems
And paints with his
Mouth
On my skin.
And i steal my love
Back from him,
So I know what it's like
To feel fire
On my skin
And not be dying
Over and over and over
Again.
Because
I'll never be loved like i love.
