Persephone Mar 2018
She tastes like spring, summer time sweetness, I can’t get enough of it I need my fix,I crave her when she isn’t here, I desire for her to always be near
I sit and wonder what she thinks about when she's alone
Whose mind does she see when her eyes close
I want it to be mine, consume her with a fire so im the only one that makes her butterflies fly.
One arms distance, is how close I hold her.
Not so close to be suffocating, she knows our boundaries.
She is the sound of freedom and I just a swallow.
Nesting in the branches of her love.
I smell her on my sheets, stray strands of hair on my pillow, lost in thought remembering how it got there.

I fall apart
When I think of you
Help me find a way
to rid you of my mind
Help me regain what is mine
I want my life back
without you haunting me
Its cold outside
without you by my side
Throwing my hoodie up
walking away
You're gone
and you need to leave
me
alone
Help me regain my mind
I lost it
when you died

[I died with you]
Persephone Jan 2018
I don’t have a safe place anymore all I have is these photos And these four walls the memories Seeping through like blood stains How do you return back to the place where you were abused how can you forget the acts that you were forced to do everything is breaking it all falls apart and I sit in this chair waiting for my turn.

Why do I always fall for unavailable ones. When theyre ready they are happy with the next one never mind me waiting patiently. Eyes graze over, the only thing you’re good for is a tumble. Fall for the next one to break their heart. Never seeing the good girl right.here. No longer patient, no longer waiting.
Persephone Dec 2017
When the haze wears off and you come back to reality, your senses no longer heightened  return to the dull.  
And you look at yourself like who am I now that I was not before?
Return to the haze where everything felt OK
kiss the sky
dance with the breeze
write poetry
feel everything that the “normal” you can not see
Live,love and get lost
be wild
Be free
lost in the haze

black cats
feathers blowing
trees are down
there is an emptiness
in the air
all around
Persephone Oct 2017
You remember our talk last night about self-reflection?
I felt like I needed to do some of that without
distractions.
So I drove for an hour and went to a safe place.
The mountains were inviting, red tail hawks screeching.
The tranquility of the moment was just what I needed.

In the solitude I found the answer to a "problem" that was plaguing my mind.
I have so much love to give ...
to someone who deserves it.
So much caring and compassion ...
for anyone who needs it.
Reciprocation in feelings and understanding
that
I'm not broken.
I was hurt
and now I'm healing.

Now in that truth I saw the true meaning
Not all poems have to rhyme
not everyone is going to understand the chaos
that's in your mind
And that's okay.
Because I love myself enough
to know
when to let those people go.
