Best in meI would have my moments, and so would you, but
I would choose to spend every failing moment with you,
I never liked my hands until you held them, I always hated my smile but it’s all o ever did when I was with you,
I hated my hair but you loved it, I break eye...

The Girl Who Writes Love Poems v2The girl who writes love poems
Finally became the muse
She was so wrapped up in her delusion
She didn't see she was being used.
She poured out her heart into stanzas and rhymes
And basked in the warmth of his gaze
Little did she know the time that she’d waste
Would haunt her the rest of her days.
Though she spent...

Drifting Into the BlueI've always been afraid of deep water...
So why did I believe it would make me stronger?
Maybe I thought its beauty was sublime,
But beauty can’t hold you afloat every time.
I took a breath and went under,
Trusting you through all the wonder.
The waves pushed me towards you,
A feeling so fresh and new.
As I ventured into the deep...

Happy Hurt DayYou’re gentle, judgemental,
A freak in sheep’s disguise
Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice,
You’re obsessive, compulsive,
Afraid to let me go
You’re afraid of what’s left of you,
If you have not my hand to hold
You know I love you,
But it’s time to move on
Take a fall, and crash out, if I’m wrong
Be scared, I’ll hold you,
If...

In Love Alone In LoveWe never walked down the isle
in africa we never do when pocket light
so we sat on plastic seats in the heat
the tent tried and died in the steam
sweat, hopes and hot tea
We never walked down the isle
but jus one job was to be
in love , in respect, in you
till...

out of the blue, into the bluein a soft sigh or quiet curse
a bubble of pain
in the embers of a fading fire
sparks of memory
in the hollow of the chest
echoes of love
where the smile doesn't meet the eyes
mania or melodrama

All My Low MomentsI hate my low moments.
Those moments when I try not to but my eyes find your name and my finger dial your number
These days it never goes through anymore
All I hear is a beep then a silence I will never fill with words
I dont want you to pick up.
I dont want your voice to warm...

STAYCome near do not take your gaze from mine
The heavens have nothing on the stars of your eyes
If you're willing take my hand. let our destinies entwine
If not then fear not for your company will grant me respite
A reprieve from the death of love unachieved
The loss of my heart to an unassuming thief
To be deprived...

Atlas
I.
He lives inside me,
not sleeping—just leaning
against the dark rafters of my chest.
A moss-backed troll
I call him Atlas, though he looks
more like the rock in his garden—
He keeps a room beside the heart—
spare bed, mildew in the corners,
but the sheets stay stiff with cold.
He’s always stationed
between the valves and the ribs,
elbows locked against my sternum,
holding the...

Love Hurts
“Kiss me,” she says—
her eye swollen, rimmed in red.
“Hold me,”
but not like that.
Not with fear pressed
into every rib.
He doesn’t answer.
Just slams the door.
“He loves me,”
she whispers to no one,
eyes darkening with
each retreating footstep.
Years of apologies
smear her reflection.
Each bruise
a disappearing act.
“He’s just under stress,”
she murmurs,
twins curled at her breast
like unanswered prayers.
“I push him, really.
He doesn’t mean...

ResponsibilitiesThe morning sun is in the sky.
The dog is in the yard.
And I stand in the driveway
With an aching in my heart.
I’m watching all the people
Driving down that highway.
They’re all heading somewhere else
While I am here to stay.
I can feel that highway calling me

Heartbroken in His ShadowI loved him
I loved him with my whole soul
I loved him
I loved him until he became my blackhole
He took and he took
He took the color from my cheek
He took the light from my eye
He took my life until I became weak
He took the color from my world
He took the sun from my sky
He took the...

Call It A NightThe fire’s down to embers and the candle’s burning low
And I cannot remember when we stopped watching the show
The morning’s coming quickly but we’ve still so far to go
‘Before we have to greet the early morning light.
Maybe just another drink then we can call it a night.
The bottle’s on the table but that’s halfway ‘cross...
