Caution

SO ready to fill another’s cup Slipping against the rim until over it spills But what happens when you empty from giving of yourself- with reckless abandon

Blocked

The stars shined But I couldn’t see their light Beyond the Shadow, that was you

False

My lips smile, hiding the storm in my eyes So they won’t ask- About the holes in my heart, that threaten to fill me Or the fire in my soul, that threatens to consume me

Haunted Dreams

My dreams, are haunted by figures shaped with regret and pain, that waits for me to fall unconscious

Betray

Sometimes I wonder If my Eyes Give away The feelings I hide And the words I don’t say

Strong

Sometimes At night I stare At nothing Thinking How this Will make Me stronger Feeling Like I’m Tired Of my strength

Waiting

I could feel my skin flushing under the harsh rays of sunlight, even through my jeans, but I stood still. Waiting. She said she would come, that she would be here this time.

In Memory

Almost 3 weeks ago, I received news that has forever changed me and my life.

Unprepared

I never knew That an image Could cause, Physical pain I never thought A memory Would make, Me choke on air I never felt That loosing you Should be, Happening now

No Breath

Who knew That sorrow Felt like air Being sucked From you chest Until You could not Breathe or speak Or find rest
