• 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 […]

• All These Months

  All these months,I’ve patiently and silently waited for you,All these months,I thought of all the things you could say,All these months,Wondering what excuses or reasons you would offer,All these months,Festering in my loneliness,All these months,Shedding tears for someone who pretended to care,All these months,Fixing and patching up my heart from the damage you caused,All these […]

• Good Enough

  I need to know why I wasn’t good enough,Why I wasn’t worth fighting for? Crossing oceans, losing sleep over and grandiose romantic gestures, Why wasn’t I good enough to merit your heart? What was missing for you? I keep tripping over thoughts of you, Circling my mind like hungry sharks, Pangs of emotions I want […]

• Trente Huit

  Thirty eight finds me in a peculiar place,Balancing feelings of confusion and dissatisfaction,With gratitude and motivation,Thirty eight finds me restless and unfulfilled,Wondering what’s next, yet still ruminating on the past,Surprised there are still things to figure out,Equally irritated that feelings of self-doubt still boil up,Thirty eight has me excited for the future,Still working towards those […]

• I Smiled

  I thought of you,No different than I have over the past year,But, for the 1st time in a while, I smiled,Not because my feelings have changed,Mostly because life has given me perspective,Two months shy from an entire year of not speaking to you,Yet, I smile,Distance and space can give you that,A small smile,I am here, […]

• Crumbs

  You do the bare minimum,Nothing that is too exhaustive, Or gives too much away, Throw me the crumbs you can manage,And like a fool, I eat it up,Play into your hands,Feigning a meaningless apology,While you continue to ignore me,The very person you claim to love, Weaving a web you believe I will get trapped in, […]

• The One

  I hope years from now,When you are sitting somewhere, sad and alone,A thought crosses your mind and you realize,I was the one,The one you should have taken a chance on,I hope years from now,You admit to yourself that you chose fear over love,Immaturity and selfishness were your main priorities,And not my feelings,I was the one,I […]

• 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 […]
