As beautiful as you think falling in love is,
Sometimes you're not meant for each other.
And that's okay.
I hope you can remember your kind heart.
Your soul is beautiful,
So don't let anyone take that away.

Maybe I,
Don't know
Maybe if
Maybe so
How many more maybes until I let go

I let your name roll off
My tongue,
One last time.
Like water, dripping down
A melting icicle;
That, and nothing more.

I am Lost

My soul resonates
with the prettiest and darkest things.
I feel and hurt
and live and rejoice
and die and hate
and forgive.
I do it all
in a whirlwind of emotions so no wonder.
No wonder
I don’t know what’s forward or backwards or even what to say
Or do next.
I am so lost.

He read the leaves like
love notes.
Heard music
in the breeze. He knew
the trees by name.
The child was at home.

Now leaves are code.
And, notes tumble on jumbled winds.
The forest is strange...
