• Good Hands

  I think about you and the sides of my eyes crinkle as I smile,Your name flashes up on my phone and instantly my heart rate increases. I am in good hands, Steady and safe,I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel it in my gut,Be it the ways in which you give me…

• I Settled

  I realized the other day,That I settled for people who didn’t truly love me,I bore myself, Ripped wide open with the blind belief that love would see me through, Only to be left shattered and broken,I settled for charlatans, Men who were unwilling to truly share all parts of themselves,I pushed aside my doubts, Took…

• Sweater

  I found your sweater, Casually draped over the chair,Its lilac colour instantly catching me eye,Met with an equal amount of disappointment for you that you had mistakenly left it behind,But also with joy, because I knew I would slip it on,I dive my face into the fabric and take in your scent,Your body was up…

• Glass Heart

  I have a gift for you, I have given it much thought,To find a way to show to you,Just how much I feel about you,This gift isn’t one you can find in a store,Yet it took me some time to gather and collect,Parts of it, dented and possibly bruised,I am handing over my glass heart,Trying…

• Meaningless Sorry

  You come here, palm outstretched,I admit, I have been waiting for this moment and, Now that it’s here, it is nothing like I imagined, As I look around to be sure I didn’t make it up, I realise just how empty your sorry is, A true apology requires a change in behaviour, Done in person,…

• 86,400 Seconds

  There are 86,400 seconds in a day,We barely notice as they tick on by,But, all of mine are consumed with thoughts of you,Anxiety fills all of the silences you send my way,Your time goes by the same as mine, exceptNone of your time is spent thinking of me,If this were the case, I would know,…

• Lips

  Your lips,Caught my attention when we first met,Two perfectly formed mounds made just for kissing,As your tongue slowly glides across your bottom lip,I imagine my fingers reaching across,Tracing its shape, Wondering what it would taste like on mine,Soft, supple and welcoming,Biting mine with precision and passion,Moving its way around with ease,Your hands on my neck,…

• Always Second Place

  

  No matter how much I seem to try,How slow or fast I take it,How much I protect or throw my heart at someone,The fact of the matter still remains,I am always in second place,Left behind and forgotten like a bad memory,Thought of when the dust settles and other options don’t pan out,Second place as if…

• Locks

  Locks,So many surround my heart,I am beginning to wonder if there ever was a time it wasn’t caged,Locks, Of various shapes and sizes,Rusty, ornate, but a lock just the same,Locks,I have forgotten the combination of most,Their permanence a comfort,Locks,So tightly wound, to release it would be painful,Cobwebs and critters make it a home,Locks,Keeps me in…

• Isolate

  You choose to keep yourself apart,In a sea of turbulence and despair,Claiming a struggle you find comfort in,Refusing to let anyone near,Always at arm’s reach and never close enough to your heart, All while claiming to love me,Yet make zero to little action to affirm said love,You choose isolation and distance, which keeps you safe,…
