Money
Is a cruel god
Promising happiness
That never seems to last beyond
The grave

How I long for your embrace
Only you can heal my heart
Let me feel your love and grace
Develop every broken part

May I put my trust in you!
Even in pain, you are true!

Nature metaphors
And descriptive similes
All fail to capture
How sweet and lovely and good
And desirable you are

I miss you most when you are near me,
Since I once knew you but not anymore.
Since “we” can no longer be,
I miss you most when you are near me.
If only my heart would let me be free,
I could move on. My life, restore.
I miss you most when you are near me,
Since I once knew you but not anymore.

You are warmth and peace
On a frigid winter day
Like rays of sunlight
Thawing my raw and numbed skin
Please don’t hide behind the clouds

Like a steady stream
That trickles through the forest,
I will persevere.
Though my journey is unknown,
I know I’ll reach the ocean.

Reflection.
Introspection.
Letting go of hope.
Silence, come envelope
Me.
