Doctor don't
bother
diagnosing me
because I already
know
that I've caught
an acute case
of lovesickness
for a girl
who can't
be mine,
and the only
medicine
that'll cure me
is heartbreak.
I don't mind
if
people initially reject
me,
instead, I'm regretful
whenever
I shy away
from
taking the opportunity
to
initiate a conversation
with
that person in
time.
Gregory and the Hawk - Oats We Sow
Every night I
pray
for this same
request:

to be reunited
with
my love the
sea;

to feel her
embrace
as gentle tides
allow
me to drift
past
the sandy shore
unto
her deep blue
depths.
These stitches loosening
reveal
my wounds have
healed;
demonstrating to me
even
the most invasive
incisions
have a capacity
to
be restored new
again.
I wasn't made for these times - Kat Edmonson
For now, I'm
taking
all the time
required
to process through
my
emotions, so that
when
I'm ready I
then
start the healing
process.
Smith & Burrows - Wonderful Life
The landlord is
raising
my rent yet
again,

but as a
result
I'm gladly moving
out
of this place,
because

lately my apartment
has
felt like an
old
tomb instead of
home.
Forgiven - Deb Talan
I'm the scarecrow
standing
still beside the
field
shooing away all
those
birds flying past
me,

for my heart
was
replaced with straw,

and
now I cannot
receive
my beloved crows
anymore.
