Aimée May 2023
I turned in to myself
To heal all the wounds
To find the love inside

Then I look up,
Then I turned out
And everyone was gone

What's the point of healing
If I am as alone now
as I felt I was then?
Aimée May 2023
Why is "Hi"
the hardest thing to say
When it's the door I open
To let love back in?

And there's nothing
In the world I want more
Aimée May 2023
Tomorrow, for me, was scary
The root of all my worry

'til you traded your tomorrows
For the high price of "it's all over"

So now I spend every one of mine
Loving those who think of trading time

Trying to give them moments you missed
Hoping somehow I can make a difference
Aimée May 2023
I know you're hurting
I'll take it all, tell me everything
Every scar, every terror
And we'll cry together
For every bleeding wound

You worry of ruining my life
By pulling me into the night
But I walk in willingly!!
For the world without you (truly)
Would be one of shadows anyway
Any pain you might have caused me by living,
Would have always been better than the pain of you leaving
Aimée May 2023
You'll never see tomorrow's sunrise.
Were you afraid it wouldn't come?

Was the darkness too empty?  
Or the night too long?
Was last night for you this lonely?

Would this horizon have made you smile?
Or one more worry for the list?

Were the demands on you too great?
Was there a tipping point I missed?
Or something that could've made you stay?
Questions without answers
Aimée May 2023
You turn paint smudges into smiley faces
You turn mistakes into mad genius
And wrong roads into new adventures
And dead ends? Just starting points for something better

You stare up at the stars
when others would drown in the dark
And when your worst storms rage
You thank God for life-giving rain

All the while teaching me to do the same
We are need someone who sees the beauty in the ashes and knows how to add to it
Aimée Apr 2023
When fear consumes me,


I hide from tomorrow in


The dregs of today
The longer I don't sleep, the further away tomorrow is
