Miss The Thought
I miss the thoughts you made me feel,The rush of blood to the head,The giggles and youthful thrill,I miss the person I thought you were,Open, communicative and mature,Always willing and ready to listen and share without judgement,I miss the feel of you in a warm embrace,Strong, sturdy and enveloping,Your hand caressing my back,I miss our […]

Disposable
I know I am a catch,I have many things to offer the person I choose to love,But the manner in which you treated me,I can’t help but feel disposable,Like a forgotten old sweater,Full of holes and tatters,No longer appealing, but not worth the effort to throw out,Disposable,Treated as if there will be others,Someone much more […]

I Would Know
I thought by now I would know what it would be like to have your arms wrapped around me,I thought for sure you’d still be here smiling sideways at me,I would know, I saw it so vividly when I closed my eyes.Except, you dissipated, Right through my fingers you dissolved like fog on a warm […]

You Chose Fear
You said what we had was special,But instead, you chose fear,At the first hurdle,You imploded and didn’t take my outstretched hand,You chose fear,Over all of the endless possibilities which awaited us,You chose fear,At the sight of my fragile heart in my outstretched hand,You recoiled and chose fear,A connection I had never felt before,Yet, you chose […]
