Hope Apr 2021
Take my body
I no longer need it
My soul is already yours
Hope Apr 2021
Even if the closest I can get to you right now
Is just the subtle scent of you on my sheets
I’ll fall asleep with this piece of you wrapped around me
It calms me faster than counting sheep
Hope Apr 2021
Trembling hands make their way up bare skin
Gripping into hair, nails scratching
Steady breath pounds against my neck
Legs wrapped like strands of DNA
Always meant to be one
The softest, yet most demanding voice I’ve ever heard
It will convince me to jump
Fingers flared, inviting mine in
Pounding heartbeats, saying what we can’t
Your fingertips dance over my straps
Silently telling me to strip
And so I do
Even in the dark my hands find their way back to you
And your’s back to me, shaking and calloused
Making me fall in love before I could see the light
Hope Mar 2020
I feel out of focus
A lost shadow
Trying to find the sun
And the warmth it once had
With storm clouds passing
I feel at home with myself
Solitude in the darkness
A soundless voice
Lost in the wind
Carried away to somewhere unknown
Waves crash above me
It’s been too long since I came up for air
Maybe I will be able to swim to the sun
As it reaches the horizon
Or will I be too slow
And it will fade into the sea
Hope Feb 2020
I may not be what you deserve
But I will always be the person that knows you
And I know the little things about you
Your flaws, the details of your smile,
The way you made my heart beat
Every detail about you and your true self
I can’t get you out of my mind
I may not be the person you imagine in your future
But I’ve always thought of you as my life
And you’ve changed back to your old ways
And I know deep down I cant be broken again
So with that said, I’m saying goodbye
Goodbye to the life we knew
Goodbye to the love we felt
Because you’re not you anymore
And it’s time I put myself first
Hope Dec 2019
Turning back time
Reminiscing on memories
Innocent I love you’s
Sweet brown eyes
Tearful goodbyes
You resonate inside me
Never to be forgotten
Hope Nov 2019
I can’t forget your calming touch
That I didn’t appreciate like I should’ve
Or your quiet snores
That I didn’t listen to enough when I could’ve
And your soft kisses
That I didn’t get enough, if only I would’ve
Known that you weren’t mine forever
That our time was limited
I would’ve taken in every detail of you
