Let’s mould the perfect picture—
make the pieces fit.

SNAP—
it clicks in place.
Hand in hand,
these pieces don’t budge.

We find new wedges,
fresh segments,
attach new memories.
Keep building—

until the juice
isn’t worth the squeeze.

You and I—
dead, forgotten,
living only
in the memory
of what we built—

the perfect life.

my goals :)
-take breaks when needed
-spill EVERYTHING out on paper
And read it before hitting “send”
-post AT LEAST 1 a day (if I’m not taking a break)
- take care of myself
- write something happy at least 2 times a month
Can you help me stay on top of those goals!? I’ll promise to let y’all know if I’m taking a break :)

A mother’s hands —
Hands that care,
That reach even the deepest
Cells in the body
With a tender touch.

Love —
It can crack and splinter,
But never disappear.

Even on a cold, rainy night,
When you try to hold yourself,
You never forget
A mother’s touch —
Like cherry blossoms
Blooming every spring.

But what happens
When that love
Pulls apart,
Finger by finger,
Bone by bone,
Until it’s all gone?

Who’s going to hold you then?

When a mother’s hands heal no longer,
And all you can do
Is remember how you used to be held —
The notes of her quiet humming
Now seem off-pitch.

spilled tears
do hands deserve fingers
if they do not hold
do ears deserve sound
if they do not listen
do eyes deserve sight
if they do not see

do you deserve love
if you broke me

If time heals
Why do i hurt myself
Trying to prove to you
I'm no...

MISTAKE.
