You honor your emotions and how you feel, even if it disappoints him. You give him space to make it up to you. You practice letting go even if it's hard for you. You stay open, hope for the best, but know that either way, you will be ok. A man who cannot honor your boundaries and respect your time wasn't worth it anyway. Simple instructions: Call her and reschedule. A woman doesn't wait, she lives her life with or without him. He is not powerless, he always has a choice to turn things around. Let him show you who he is. He can redeem himself. Sit back and relax. To build a strong foundation, it takes the two of you. But you set the standard.

He’s ahead, memorizing my patterns to avoid questions that don’t want answers
Heart streams of warm pastels is how he feels
I enjoy swimming in your baby blues
Fresh air, on shores
Unanswered questions, but the wind whispers, “You can go a while longer.”
So I pocket the questions

You hold the power within, trust, and breathe
We are tidepools eyes locked
You will get all the answers you need.

Presence is only found here
So count your blessings because this moment will soon disappear
I am so curious, curious moments, are you curious too?

A spacious yes
Like the air of a first spring day
He leaves space to feel and sigh

Groundedness yet playfulness
Set a safe ground for both of us
Together, to finally heal.

Can I trace someone’s edges without erasing my own?
Can I open the door, and still keep walking myself home?

Let me fall in love,
Like petals, not like thorns,
Bare feet firmly rooted.

I hold the answers,
I am the answer.

But remember, if your petals never bloom,
Then who will ever witness your soft essence and know you well?

So tell me, Goddess of love,
Is there a way to fall in love without being overtaken and being consumed?

it's only a matter of time before i throw you away
an old wrapper
a flavor i am over

so honest so real
why do I lie?
and put on a mask?
perspectives you see

aggressive aggressive
i bathe in passivity


heartless and careless
i build you up
but if you can't keep up
boy, bye

boring boring
if I’m not entertained
well this is goodbye

it's not personal
it is what it is
we all have an expiration date
and honey, yours is up

resentment is all i know
if you were excluded from your own blood
you would do the same

it's only a matter of time
until they do it to you too.

The dark night of the soul
Is not for the dual and the cruel
To my anxiety, darkness, and depression
You have erased my image
Taken and deepened my sleep
Just give up, lose the grip, and just lose the grasp

You have no command
Just my notes of sadness
If you can't understand this path
Just be gone

Shame on you
Like a flicker of a candle
I try to hold onto the night
Like I hold onto the reasons
The truth is I am running out of excuses
I am so tired of being afraid
Breathing itself you were in my hand
But I keep asking questions
Answers already sewn into my deep dark soul
Strain and tension
I am a golden okay
My heart, my soul, my mind, my beloved
You have done so well
Congratulations
You are the evening mixer
The morning elixir.

Infatuation,

Expedited deep blue,
Quick sand and double time,
Full vanity.

Intermission,

Recall and evoke,
Your inner beauty,
Cost and stature.

Refine and persist,
Flow and lean into the unknown,
The secret of design.
