There was a young lady from Hants
Who had trouble finding her pants
She looked high and low
And strip-searched her beau
Who’d speared them as flag for his lance!

Gotta do it every now and then.

You can't always
Move on
From trauma.

Sometimes
You simply
Build up
Tougher
Walls.

A
flash from beneath the christmas tree
like a person diving in the water
truncated by a fluffy tail, a blur of reality
a ball of fur as fast as lightning
thumping up the stairs
then back down
then back up
then back down

kept
on
choosing
the
wrong
turns

but
who
knows
?

maybe
this
time
this
is
the
right
one

i fancy
candle lit dinners
dresses that glitters
perfumes with flower odors

branded stilettos
unexpected rendezvous
but what fancy more
is you— only you

in
your
darkest

for
everyone
is
entitled
to
be
weak
sometimes

to
burn
i     n
dismay
of one's

but
don't
forget

a simple reminder! ❤

dry
i ran out of words
don't worry only for a little while
the metaphors seemed to become out of style
the rhymes don't seem to rhyme
like the way it was--

and
i
don't
know
how
to
get
it
back.
