First And Last

First glance

First touch

First Kiss

Didn’t know where it would go.

Last kiss

Last touch

Last glance

Glad I didn’t know.

Layers

Layers of

Love

Upon

Layers of sorrow

Add up to nothing but

Delirium.

Let go of yesterday.

Let go of tomorrow

While

Convincing yourself

What is done can be undone.

No matter.

You cannot save yourself from the

Insanity.

Trying desperately

To bring it back,

What once was.

Haunted

Always,

The girl with ghosts in her eyes.

Haunted.

Certain words are spoken

And her gaze is broken.

She is gone.

Triggers deep inside tripped by

A sentiment.

Shame ensues.

A song

And her heart is racing.

A car backfires

And

The longing,

The ache for safety carries her away

Into the

Other side

Where no one can reach her.

Choking as she tries to speak,

Tendrils from her gut

Pulling her breath back inside.

Back to hide.

No,

Mere

Words will not do

For they cannot be found.

Malady

You spoke so clearly

In your actions,

With

Your silent refusals.

i turned a deaf ear.

I turned a blind eye.

Trust

Being the only

Malady

Of my mind.

Small

How small of you

To

Think

In

This

Great big world

Your way is

The only way.

Grappling

And here I am once

Again

With scattered photographs

And unfinished poems in

My bed.

My heart

Grappling naked

With

Echoes.

With memories in the

Dark.

Tonight

Tonight

I long

To dance to

A

Soft and delicate

Melody.

A

Reminder

Of

Love.

For You

I won’t ask about your

Father

For I know he is deceased.

I will not ask about your

Mother,

I know she shattered you to pieces.

I will,

However,

Offer you a safe space

To lay it all down.

A space to heal.

A place where you can feel the

Sanctity of your soul.

Where it will remind you

That you are whole.

I offer you love and kindness.

A quiet time to recover your heart and

Mind.

And there you can mend without

Question.
