Sometimes,
when certain doors close
and other doors open,
we have to
take a big breath
before forcing ourselves
to walk through them.
There will always be another door, but sometimes they're not all that easy to step through.
The Angels
blow their breath
into her ink,

Each one of her words
are a reflection
of her pure soul;
a direct link.

the hardest
part of
letting someone
you love
go is
making yourself
stay away
She was a different type of princess.
For all her monsters were inside her mind.
And no charming
was brave enough
to face those beasts.
So,
she had to teach herself,
that, "being saved"
started when
you began

yourself
I love reading fairy tales. However, sometimes we need to learn that it's not always prince charming who can save us. Sometimes it's ourselves.
I believe you,
when you say that you're okay
after watching me leave
and not trying to make me stay

I believe you;
that you don't want me back
because silence speaks volumes
and it's quiet where you're at

I believe you,
because you don't act like you're in pain
but it hurts me just to breathe
and pretend you're not in my brain.

I believe you,
because you are once what I wanted
but you let this fire turn to ashes
and now I'm left with nothing

I believe you;
but, I really wish I didn't
because you look like you're doing fine
so I keep these feelings hidden
Response to "If I Could Make You Believe" - Derek Clifton
It's easier said than done;
to let someone go,
when all you want is to hold on.
Because the memories can't just be erased ,
of every moment between you.
And those feelings won't simply be replaced
by someone new.
But you know the only thing to do now,
is to leave behind what has fallen apart,
because the damage has gone way too far
to repair what's left of two broken hearts
you looked at me in my eyes,
and there was no fear
of what you'd find.

you saw the ruin left behind;
the damage, and destruction,
the brokenness I tried to hide.

And I waited for you to run;
away from my shadows,
and into the sun.

But then you told me,
there's a special beauty to the night;
because only then can you see stars
and in the darkness
they've created their own light
