Ache~
There is a throbbing in my chest
pain flows from my heart
my soul aches
I do not know
if it is from my longing for you
or from the way you hurt me
Ache~
There is a throbbing in my chest
pain flows from my heart
my soul aches
I do not know
if it is from my longing for you
or from the way you hurt me
Promises~
And even if
you can keep
no other promise you made
keep the promise of
kindness in the storm
and courage in the fall
and love in the cold
Oceans~
I felt most at home there
with the wind lashing at my hair
and the waves at my soul
feeling the grains of sand cling onto my skin
It had a certain peace
like the salt of the ocean was singing a song just for me to listen to
like its depths were always ready to embrace my existence
like I was born of it
like every atom of mine were droplets
like I could melt into its vastness
the ocean was more home to me
than any land was
Falling for you~
You confuse me
so thoroughly
you are the warmth of home
and the thrill of an adventure
it scares me how fast
every atom of mine
fell for you
Spine of Steel~
Your spine carries
stories that would break theirs
so, when they call you weak
turn to your bravest dreams
and never look back
Differences~
“They hold you by the chin and tell you that you are ugly. They hate the hue of your skin and mock your scars. They laugh at the swirl of your tongue and the way you look. They make fun of the things you can’t change about yourself.
But please, for the sake of love, don’t change. Don’t change your fiery uniqueness and the steel in your bones and the Sun in your soul. Don’t let them make you bow your head for the things you should broaden your chest for.”
An act of abandonment~
I don’t think you
will ever fade from my memory
you were all my hopes
made tangible
you poured into me
emotions I never knew before
and god, when you left
it was so cold my veins froze
I never felt more numb
