I like to imagine A world changed Without glass ceilings A system, rearranged I like to imagine Our daughters freed, From limitations That held you and me I like to imagine These aren’t dreams And the world may be Better than it seems
For Women
Without You
There are moments In my life Where I pause Because, I feel guilty For living Them Without, you
Pale
I want To remember- The sun's glow, The moon's shine, And the stars sparkle But it all seems... Insignificant Without your smile
Imprinted
Some of the happiest Days of my life Involve your light Some of the darkest Thoughts in my mind Were quelled by you And your voice still echoes In the small aches That move through me
After You
There are days Where I move through Life, blissfully And there are days Where the contrast In my life Of before And after You Is starkly clear
Pray
I pray for A day Where I can Remember you Without pain Inside The deepest Part of my soul
Numb
The wind flows Through my hair The birds sing To my ears The sun shines On my face And I feel None of it Because I am lost In this world Without you And my heart Feels empty With you gone
Suffocated
There are moments where I wonder- When the shadows in your heart managed to pull you under And there are nights Where the feeling, of being suffocated- becomes overwhelming There are days When I wither... Because how, can I help you When I can't breathe either
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
