Trusting my heart
is hard to do
she's failed me
time & time again
I can't seem to find my way
in this relationship
I try to relax & chill
but when , I can't read you
& only have your word
that's really hard to do
When all I want to do
is to consume you
that's all I wish to do
I want to fall in love
but
not knowing how to
navigate
when , I can't trust
makes loving you
scary to do
Teach me how to trust
show me the truth
Please let me
release this worry
give my heart
a lesson in love
trust you
trust me
I only want to share
my heart with you
I promise to love you
that's all I want to do

A poem about my daughter & her boyfriend
 Apr 2018 Dear
Hopeless Outlet
Stuck
 Apr 2018 Dear
Hopeless Outlet
I'm kind of stuck
At least... I think I am
Somewhere between telling everyone I know to *******
And "just please come hold me friend"

Some place in between an uneasy heart and hectic mind

"I'm depressed"
Can't I just say it without having to explain why?
Sometimes I don't even know which reason to choose

Short replies

"You seem like you don't want to talk"

You're right, but I also want to reach out
I want out
I want to let go of everything
And capture it all in my arms

like a fire fly in the palm of restless hands,
Just let me hold on to your light
Atleast, just for tonight

Because I'm feeling stuck.

— The End —
