Reality

Somewhere baby it's raining
Yet here I lay wet
naked
waiting for you
I listen for my heart beat
Hoping you tear it apart
Quietly I try to sleep at night
But I lay awake thinking my god
How is this all mine?

Death of a loved one.

Empty is what it feels like
for you are the last one
the last of my blood to walk this Earth
to wish me well despite my flaws & mistakes

There's a place for you
eternally in my heart
In my mind I bask in tales of the past
words spoken from your lips
for you bring truth & a history I don't know

I forget to breathe whilst in grief
But you wouldn't want me this way I know
I hold on tight to our history, your memory & our love ~

Always be grateful for time well spent.

Fear Of Love.

We can try and pretend
To feel something different
some distrust
Some complicated fear brought on by everything negative you hold close
For it's easier to stay beyond grounded

Take my hand and hold it tightly
For joy is the sunshine basking high above our heads
Floating in the sky in my mind

All that we are isn't what we seem to be

Beautiful time spent alone has me remembering I can do this

Naked.

I bathe in a bathtub of oil and honey
naked I lay there, absorbing stillness
quietness for I'm alone, laying there I questioned my worth until the water turned cold

Red like her lips, it slowly falls
way down I go, with the sharpest knife
but I'll be beautiful I say
my skin will be soft, glowing
even colder, slightly more blue
I will lay there
awake at last, quiet and still
my death will be beautiful

I adorned my finest robe for you all
stillness, red and blue
Magical I say

My beginning is beautiful at last.
