While they count sheep
I count stars

- The upside to insomnia

See You Later
 Aug 2018 F
She Writes
I love delicate moments
When we hold each other
A few seconds too long
Before time separates us again
As it always does
Without apology

She Writes
I hide pieces of myself
Wrapped up in a bow
Anything so you can’t see
The broken me underneath

My sender forgot to mark me
Handle with care
I’ve been damaged
Lost in transit

When I finally arrive
At your feet
I hope you  can look past the cracks
And cherish my pieces

You and Me

Anya
Two sides
One Dark
One Light
Where there is one
Another resides
Perhaps not seen
But there
You know it
Because one cannot be without the other
Like you and me

She Writes
When I see you my chest tightens
Suffocating under your stare
I can feel your hand around my throat
Pinning my body to the bed
Choking, gasping, crying

When I see you my skin crawls
I can feel your body
Forcing its way inside mine
Using me as an object
Made for your pleasure

When I hear you speak I taste blood
Biting my tongue
To keep your secret
I can hear every threat
You used to keep me quiet
I wish you didn’t still have power over me after all these years

Arguments

I don’t make arguments
Out of nothing
I make nothing
Out of what should have been an argument

Conflict

She Writes
I started a war
Within myself
To avoid
A conflict with you

She Writes
Her poems are expressions
Of her silence
She pens all the thoughts
She’s scared to hear
Pouring from her own mouth
 Jul 2018 F
She Writes
There is too much regret
In unspoken words
The quiet thoughts
Whispered only to the moon

There is too much longing
In wishful thinking
Daydreams
Can quickly become a nightmare

There are too many tears
Spilled onto pillows
Over suffering and longing
From words unsaid

Words written
To heal the wounds
