Grief
is a knalled winter tree
barren, as its leaves have long since fell
to mix into the Earth
to make new life for the Spring
it is a painful process,
animalistic and wild
sometimes you do not know
if the tree will stand
tall for another year
but you will
you will carry life again
and it will be green
and lush
love it makes you happy love it makes you glad
gives you things in life that you never had
brings you lots of joy each and every day
makes you feel secure happy bright and gay.

a very special thing there within your heart
that is there forever and will never part
something that is true and will always be
something that will stay for eternity.

I grew too fast,
Yet not enough—
A child in silence,
An adult in rough.

Too young to be old,
Too old to be young,
My heart beats quietly
Where no song is sung.

I search for a place
That feels like mine,
But the world moves past
And I fall behind.
Even though I remain silent, it doesn’t mean that I am broken, innocence just completely stolen, you knew what you did was wrong but yet nothing came from it, trying to get justice for it all to go astray, you didn’t give a ******* were just able to walk away.

For me it’s different, flashbacks freeze me in my body, eyes darted at people who are just enjoying themselves, but I’m on the lookout for something to happen, it never does but I feel so trapped.

Justice comes in so many forms but yet I feel none, even though I have moved on my body doesn’t, the heart palpitations, my breathing stops, eyes keep moving and I begin to shake,

I don’t know why I feel this way, all I wanted was justice just one time, while you can move on and it doesn’t seem to matter to you.

Maybe one day just once I could get my body back, the road is long but I am on the right track.

My body is not something for you to enjoy anymore, it is a body that shows more love than it should at times. I know one day I will feel safe again.

But why must I feel like everyone is an enemy rather than a friend?
one of a few, mutterances;

you're "killing me!"

every poem of yours delights, enchants,
you are blossoming
and i ear and eat your poem petals,
your white rose petals,
so tritely perfect,
to the hard word floor,
freshly enlivening,
freshly dying,
and hope
my, my mind stays quiet.
though my
breathing pounds,
an overboard sailor,
washed ashore
by the surf in a
Baltic Sea storm



i read you,
and I am there,
i read you,
and then i'm gone,

taken,
i'm taken,
i'm taken away
but my body yet lies,
a fallen victim to the power,
your word~ly empowering,

to imagine
