I cough words
onto a page,
and hold it up to the world.
They call it art, they call it poetry.

Spring is all, "Here I am!" in blooming color.
Summer is like, "I'll warm your bones as no other."
Autumn comes and brings the gold
As it waits for winter to unfold.

love is a heartbeat
-a shared love

loves heart was the first to beat
from everlasting to everlasting

love always was
- a shared beating heart

Not quick to judge others flaws
A body and face with scars
Made up stories due to the appear
I know what it's like to not have a job
Don't like to hurt others or get hurt
The hero in my story the villain in others
Told the truth and got hatred
Got told lies feeling disrespected
Stayed loyal to the wrong people
While the right moved onto better
Use to wait thinking they'd return
The last one standing from the crew
Single and no kids parents worried
Trying to grow up sad to see them age
Appreciate the times together memories

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I sometimes wonder
If you remember me at all,
Beneath your stressful days
And endless nights.

Do you remember me?

I have hidden here,
Waiting
Just for you.

Because I am you.

You are not the girl I used to know,
Not the one you used to be.
But that's okay,
I have changed too.

Have we both grown by leaps and bounds?

I wish you all the best,
But please
I beg of you.

Do not forsake me.
