Bethany Dec 2018
I’m your night
No commitment
Required
Your breath
Buzzes heavy
In my ear

I’m your center
No permission
Needed
Your hands
Roam freely
Over my body

I’m your moment
No restraint
Asked
Your body
Rises against
My very being

I’m your memory
No recollection
Called to mind
Comforts fully
This broken girl
Bethany Nov 2018
Imperfect
My skin
Is too soft
My body
Not tight

Unwanted
The flaws
Are too much
For you
To ignore

Rejected
My insides
Don’t make up
For what the outside
Lacks
Bethany Nov 2018
Saddest girl
Brown eyes
Brimming
With tears
Unshed

Silliest fool
Heart in hand
Overflowing
With love
Unrequited

Lovliest spirit
Soul open
Praying
With hopes
Uninterrupted
Bethany Nov 2018
Words
Like scars
Tattoo my soul

Reminders
Like cuts
Scar my brain

Memories
Like cancer
Ravage my body

Images
Like nightmares
Steal my dreams

Reality
Like ******
Explodes my world
Bethany Nov 2018
My heart is so heavy
I’m not sure
There will be room
For another

My love is spent
I’m not sure
That I can
Love another

My life is long
I’m not sure
That I’m ready
To surrender
Bethany Nov 2018
If
If hope was enough
I’d love the life I long for

If belief paved the way
I’d walk the yellow brick road

If wonder made the map
I’d find treasures of you

If dreams came true
I’d know happiness at last
Bethany Nov 2018
We’re skipping stones
On still waters
That might
Be better left alone

We’re replaying songs
For our needy souls
That know
The words by heart

We’re catching glances
Of subtle signs
That possibly
Know the way

We’re easy times
Of years gone by
That familiarness
Never fades

We’re hopeful souls
Of our imperfect world
That maybe
Someday is our day
