Time passes by
My belly swelled
We brought new life
Hairs are turning grey
And eyes are are growing tired
A twinkle in the sky
matches the one in your eye
That matches his
I see it when you both smile
So monumental
Tiny fingers holding mine
Mowing lawns
Raking leaves
Shoveling snow
You’ll do it all again
Over
And over
Again.
I love you
In all the mundane
I love you
Dishes drying on the rack
Finger prints on the window
And smudges on his bathroom mirror
Where brushing teeth is something to be celebrated
Cold feet on warm legs
Laughing in the darkness.
Misunderstandings
Tears falling
Hand holding
Holding you
I throw you a life line
I’m still holding on
Both barely breathing
Trying to stay  afloat
But one thing
After
Another
It’s hard to remember
Which direction to look
Where I’m supposed to be headed
I’ll intertwine us
I’ll keep tying knots
Tying me to you
To us
Because I want there to be an us
Even with
Rough hands
And rough words
Loose skin
And hormones
I’d do it all again
Over
And over
Again.
I love you
In all the hardship
I love you.

don't you dare try and make this into something sweet when all along it was bitter

7 weeks of sadness
7 weeks of "i hate this and me and everything"
7 weeks of scars on skin
and 7 weeks of hell

7 days of perfect
7 days of "i can do anything and everything"
7 days of brash decisions
7 days of heaven

7 weeks of no and 7 days of yes
or so it seems
i think its in my head

in the world we live in today
how could you not see beauty?

sure this earth is cracked and bleeding
but in those cracks grow flowers

sure those flowers are just buds
but one day they will be

in full bloom

One day you'll wake up
And it will all make sense
Make sure to write that down
Because before long
Everything you are will wash away
back into confusion.

I need you to whisper sweet things into my ear and wipe away all the bad the world puts us through.
