Pacific (All we are pt 3.)

I thought we were an endless ocean
*But even waves break upon the shore

Feeling melancholy today. I'm moving, and I think I just know that this part of my life will be over soon.

Pompeii (All we are pt 2.)

All we are is Ash
And dust of a city of
Words never spoken

{Haiku}

Bitter and Sick

She tore me in two
Ripped my heart from my chest
Stole 20 years of my life
And yet
Seeing her now
Kneeling on the floor
Begging for me
Giving me everything I ever wanted
For all my life
Asking for me back
I guess what I'm asking is
If the illusion of
True
Love
Love that ties a cord
Under your ribs
And pulls and pulls
Until all you are is broken shards
Of a happily ever after
If all you would ever need
Lay at your feet
A mendicant
Would you go?

We are stronger than our weaknesses.

Beauty Sleeping

We find the deepest honesty
In the wild
Raw
Side of humanity
The side that communes
With nature
And runs breathless
Through fields of jade

Trying to find ways to find myself beautiful. We are made in the image of God.

Untitled 54

I honestly thought I was over you
But here I am
At 5:02 PM on a Wednesday
And all I want to do is hear your voice again.

To someone I don't know

Yesterday is History (All we are pt 1.)

All that's left of us
Is the callous on my finger
Where my ring used to be

Moving on is hard, but it's going to be so much more peaceful now that I'm on my own.

Lost Lover's Town

You don't get
To push me away
Again
And again
And then get angry
When I don't
Come
Back

For 20 years I let you mentally beat me ******. My scars are finally healing and you just can't take it.
