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,…

Melancholic & Unfeeling
There’s a quiet loneliness I feel,The slow, calm numbing,The one that eats away at you,I don’t tend to notice it at first,Then you feel the sudden pang,When images of couples come across your gaze,You don’t have that,You may never have that,You have given your heart one too many times,It is now tattered and forlorn,A step…

You’ve Given Up…
We used to stay up all night talking about anything and everything,Dreams, wishes, fears and plans,The air filled with promise, anticipation and most of all…loveWe promised to love, support and never turn our backs,Mutual respect and admiration,Decisions deeply rooted in love and wanting us to WIN as a collective,Feelings of rejection and hurt pride,But time…

Navigating My Triggers
I am a runner. Nope, not the running shoes, heavy breathing and sweaty running runner. The I-no-longer-feel-happy-safe-settled-or-off running from relationships like a track and field athlete. Being home quarantined allows you time to do a lot of thinking. Some of that thinking may not be so good, but ultimately it allows you to take stock…

Teenage Love
It’s hard to take a step back, when you’re seeing yourself through everyone’s eyes. The everlasting couple, never separating one without the other, The odd standard of longevity when in fact things weren’t what they seemed, They ooh and ahh over your love story, yet you can’t quite seem to understand what the rom com…

Void
Vacant,Nothing fills the space you left,I carry you in my memories, Even though you’re still very much here,Hollow,Is how I am left after you,Wondering how I got it so wrong,Trying to understand the initial appeal,Empty,With so many whirling thoughts,Spinning, spiraling in my mind,Wondering how to feel, how to think,What to feel and what to think,Yet,…

Out Of Sync
Broken promises and missed opportunities. We spent our time feeling things and never speaking their truth. Too scared to bring life to them, Instead they began to grow fruit and strength, Knocking us both out of kilter. Orbiting but never in the same atmosphere. Speaking, but never really hearing. Feeling, but never sharing. Bottled up…

I Thought Wrong…
I thought we were it. A love so familiar and comforting.Stable and supporting.I thought you would always be there,With me when we tell our love story to tell our children. I thought you would be my one and only. Endless memories and stories to share. I thought I would always have you. Youth, exuberance and…

Why I Am No Longer Scared Of Starting Over
Change, they say is inevitable. People change, the seasons change, time is always changing…but why is it so hard to take the leap and make a massive change in our lives? We’re unhappy about things, but we’d much rather complain, but do nothing about it. Then there’s the debilitating fear of the unknown, of having…
