How is it
That I never run out of words?
They pour from me
Flooding my thoughts
Until I put them to rest
On the page

It is like a need
A deep desire
I cannot hold
It in
Cannot control
The ink spilling from my veins
Staining the pages
With the contents of my heart

I sometimes think
It is the only way
To preserve my sanity

If I can just
Release what is
Tormenting
Taunting
Killing
Me
From the inside out
Maybe
I can breathe again

I cannot wait
To be free
Of the rusted manacles
That have caught and bound me
Never have I tasted
The brim of the sea
Without the strain of these chains
A bird’s wings
Are not meant to be clipped

Slowly I unravel/The thorns of this life
Picking at the threads/Of my soul
Who will sow me back together/In the end?

The empty feeling was sweet relief
After all the months of pain
A hollow shell was better than
A whole person
Filled to the brim with aches and troubles
And submerged in misery
Release came from
The glint of the silver edge
And just a little sting
But too much
Too fast
Sent my head spinning
And though they have long since
All but faded from sight
If I could go back
If I could erase
These ugly scars
If I knew
I would never have let myself
Get lost like that

Lightning strikes, burning
Stone remains- immovable
I am turned to dust

I woke up this morning
While the sun was still asleep
Before the dew dried
And as I began to reach the edge of consciousness
My fingers grazed the empty space beside me
Searching for the comfort of your warmth
But instead I was greeted with stiff sheets
And cool pillows
The groggy euphoria of the hope
That I was waking to your arms
Was short lived
And so with worn down feet
And shaking limbs
I rose to greet another day
Without you

His delicate notes
And symphonies
He plays
Drift through
The house
Filling the air
With sweet music
Melting my heart
Of stone
Bringing tears
That fill and spill
Out of my eyes
Like the spray of the ocean
And I wrap myself
In his love
