I don’t want you to go
But I can’t ask you to stay
Especially after all the pain
I caused, left you astray
I wish I could change
The past
Then maybe we would last
I plucked your petals
But listen to this love letter
I want nothing but a bright future
for you
Because the shine truly shines for you
And with that light you’ll bloom
You’re petals will come through
I’ll always love you

A Father's Wound In Retrospect

A Father's Wound In Retrospect

Who I was
Is not who I am,

Quarter Moon
Beams of Where's
My Daddy tears hit
And the lonely nights
Have taken toll on me.

Where are you now
Little GIRLS?
I want to see you,
I need you,
I'm better now.

It's ok Daddy,
Echoes of the crescent
Regret arc over my soul,
And the hint of seeing
You again drives me to think
You still remember me,
You still love me,
I regret everything.

Just because I'm your father
Does not make me a good one.

I live for your future, even if I am not apart of it.

wild boy.

wild boy.

Down the lane under the trees
Reaching the latch first, lifted it carefully and quietly not to
Disturb the reverie of the place but he and it was always a he
Came barking and bouncing full pace to see who intruded
No bigger then a foot high, like a bundle of curled white wire
He protestested.
Waiting for a retreat, seduced by his water bowl
Finally peace was restored.
Some days he was out on his walks.
Then the garden lit up without fire.
And we two children were the ones running wild.

Love Mary x

texts i never sent you (ii)

i am in a haze today. it is cloudy and beautiful outside. it is also pressing down on my chest and i struggle for air. i wore your shirt to bed last night and it helped steady my oxygen supply. i wish you were here to say my name and speak to me in my native tongue to remind who i am and where i've come from. i'm forgetting everything, slowly. recreating yourself is only good when you haven't done it five thousand times over. i just want to be me now. but how do i become me if there is no you? pick me up from the library and walk me to class. hold my hand and tell me that you will stay with me no matter how grey the sky is or how cold my fingers feel.

The one I wish I Could Have

The one I wish I Could Have

You have a girl
I have guy
And somewhere in between those two  lines
There is a love between you and I
Yet  we’ll never leave
We’re faithful to a T
We were  just not meant to be
Oh how I wish I met you first
But that just not how the world works
It wasn’t in the cards we were dealt
I wish I could look you in your eyes and tell you how I really felt
But I can’t, So sometimes I dream
That we lived in another reality
Where we could love each other unconditionally
Hold hands and lock lips for the whole world to see
Just you and me living together so blissfully
But that’s just a fantasy
Time to open my eyes and enter back into this reality
Where you say I love you to her
I say I love you to him
And we just look at each other thinking of all the the things that could’ve been
And grin
Even though out hearts are so grim
