Fissures
The type of crack that goes undetected, But can still cause harmThin, Understated and silent,Lies under the surface for lengths of time unknown,Then on its own timing, It will push to the front, Damaging everything in its path,Shattering its surroundings,Slithering away, As it watches you crumble into pieces as it goes on to its next […]

Magnetic
Magnetic,A pull I cannot resist,Your blue eyes looking down affectionately at me,Magnetic,A connection like no other,A safe feeling I appreciate,Magnetic, Moving in sync Wordlessly,Magnetic, Like waves crashing into a shore,Emotions washing over me like confetti,Magnetic, A shock to the heart, Awakening a part of me, I thought buried, Magnetic, Fears fall to the floor, As […]

When My Empathy Will Be The Death Of Me
The world seems heavy lately, I’m not pessimistic enough to say it’s broken, but to be fair- at the moment, the evidence is overwhelming. I don’t know if I have always been an empath or if it’s something that has developed over time, especially after becoming a parent, but what I know for sure is […]

I Could Love You
I look into the gorgeous blue that is your eyes, Seeing the depth of possibility, Oh my, I could love you…Passion, wonder and safety, Your finger tracing my face with such delicacy,Oh my, I could love you…Listening to me speak so intently and smiling to yourself,Framing my face with your strong hands as you nibble […]

Invisible undercurrents,Almost like bolts of lightning, Yet far more impactful, Bursts of emotions and sensations, All caught in my chest and by surprise, Worried if I put life to it all, I will breathe it into reality, Because I have always avoided these feelings,Smiling to myself, Attempting to hide a blush, But failing to hide […]

Red
Red. Fiery. Bubbling hot, Sometimes when the feeling gets too overwhelming,I imagine myself tapping into it,Just under the surface of my skin,Rage soIt pains my chest,Trickling into everything I touch,Damaged. Used goods. Past its prime,Overdue. Doubt fills my ever thinking mind,Apathy seems to follow me. April 2022- R1

Always Remain
Memories are a funny thing,They creep up on you when you least expect it, While you’re doing something mundane, And a thought will hit your senses like a hurricane, Suddenly a pang will strike your chest, Halting your progress, Memories will always remain,Things you assumed buried away many moons ago, Send you reeling to gather […]

Never Know
I wish I meant enough to you to earn your time, I wish you felt the same way I feel about you, But, in the silences- I guess we’ll never know. I wish you trusted me enough to fully let me in, I wish you thought I was good enough to take the risk, But […]

Sour
It still makes me sad that you never wanted me as much as I did you, I did all of the right things, brought you into my fold, So openly and with deep affection, Why wasn’t I good enough? Knowing what I have to offer, what about me didn’t suit? I was myself, I let […]
