They spent their breath
On compliments

Honeyed words for every
Sun lit feature of mine

Never seeing the shadows
That fell behind
Aimée Sep 2023

One day I hope you'll tell me
All the stories that striate your skin
Every tattoo, every bruise
Every stretch mark, every scar

I needed someone to listen
So I wrote out my mind
Gave it rhythm and rhyme
And sent it out to be heard

I was honest at a distance
And I was happy with that
As months then years passed
For a poet is there anything more?

That's when I met you
You took me by the hand
And the adventure began
A journey without a destination

We danced in the sunsets
We fell with the stars
Orbiting, never too far
Each day rising to new heights

Then I was gone for a moment
And in that distance
There was an instance
When I realized I hadn't been writing
Aimée Aug 2023
No one ever listened better
Than my pen did

Taking note of every word
Off'ring suggestions of expressions
To explain how I hurt

No one ever remembered better
Than my paper did

Every joy I'd ever shared
Never forgetting the important
Or for what I really cared

No one was better than these two
Until I met you
Neither, it was you
Aimée Aug 2023
I can't get rid of the pain
It's nothing I can change

But I can adorn it with analogies,
A decoration of double meanings

And then if it must be
At least it will be lovely
Aimée Aug 2023


I like to be alone,

As long as it's something I choose,

And not something I'm condemned to.


Aimée Aug 2023
Why try? Why improve?
Why make progress or even move?

Because

Every hard right or rough start
Or Endless fight on a long night,

Isn't for you, or for him
But for the me I want to become.

And what a sight she will be
