Im waiting
i'm waiting for even just one word
from you

continuing to drink
just hoping to hear from you
in a world where one click of a button can bring your face to mine

i love you
i miss you
where are you

girl

I feel unsafe alone at night,
and when I am the only woman a room of men.
It's a creeping fear that may not always be right,
but its instilled in womankind again and again.

When can we teach our daughters to live carefree?
To not be afraid of simply being born
into a world where a woman is a dangerous thing to be?

causation

i love you when i cry
i cry because i love you

i hold you when i am happy
i am happy because im holding you

i need you near when i despair
i despair because you are not near

i am overwhelmed by everything about you
i am overwhelmed because you are everything

woman

when the world looks at her, it smiles
everything comes a little easier
doors flying open.

Golden hair and long tan legs
white smile and graceful movements
people ache to show her kindness.

The world does not treat me the same as her
she is beautiful, I am not.
I wonder what piece of myself I would sacrifice
for an ounce of that beauty.

believe

she falls into his arms
longing for connection
she doesn't listen to a word he says
absorbing the attention
she's beautiful but does not believe it
she needs him to prove it

he leaves her flowers at the door
while she makes love to another
a different man for every meal to eat
but it never goes much further

I could save her the time and tell her the truth
that no matter who she is with
they will never make her feel whole
whatever she's missing comes from within

i love you

i love you
and i can't stop telling you
i love you
and it's never felt more true
i love you
and its all so special and new
i love you
and i know that you love me too.

where our souls go

Wherever our souls go
when we leave this green earth,
wherever our spirits flow
through the water and turf,

when one day from our bodies we soar,
i think my soul would like to go with yours.
