Finding Peace
Come to me my sad, sad childWith your tears overwhelming your eyes.You've taught yourself through all this timeto quiet down your cries.To wipe your tears, and hug your chest,And sob into your lips.Let loose yourself in mournful callsbut never lose your grip. Come to me my sweet, sweet child-let me hold you and kiss you … Continue reading Surrender
Through endless night, the wind does wail,A knight rides on, his heart grown frail.His soul in tatters, his body worn,Yearning for the touch he once adored.Her voice, a whisper, soft and near,Yet in the shadows, she disappears. For years he's wandered, blind with desire,A king without a crown, lost in fire.Chasing her warmth, her scent, … Continue reading The Hollow Crown
I don't need perfect or even close, just someone who seems to knows me without being told. I'm looking for someone with a slight nerd streak, who can roll a die, tap a card, or watch a show with Me, and knows what FMA, AoT, or AtLA means. Someone good with a grill, a compliment … Continue reading Love Wanted Ad
My nightmares start as something so sweet, Something so beautiful, something so free We were everything we'd ever need To reach anything that we could be... - - Then the snakes came out, and I couldn't see, The glass on my path, slicing up my feet. I danced for you while you laughed at me, … Continue reading Title TBD
I still linger at the crossroads, Wishing I could follow... Did we have to go our separate ways? If I'd loved your laugh a little harder, Kissed your lips a little longer, Would we have gone our separate ways? I know where I am, but I'm lost all the same... Waiting for you to call … Continue reading No title…
I wish I could shed my skin and my mind. I wish I could reprogram the wires crossed in my brain with a special code that will make me the person I want others to see. They always say tomorrow is a new day, A new start, a new opportunity to do right.. But the … Continue reading No Title
At 17, I envisioned a future as a successful marine biologist, making a name for myself, surrounded by love, and achieving the kind of personal and professional milestones I'd been told all my life were far outside of my reach. Fast forward to almost 30, and I haven't done any of these things. Sure, I … Continue reading Reflections on Love, Burnout, and Seeking Fulfillment
Is it a two-way street, or am I again driving the wrong way down an unpaved road to nowhere? Why must I seek meaning in mundane phrases and empty promises... Am I so desperate as to believe anything kind is meant to be sweet? Again, I'm licking up tar and calling it honey so I … Continue reading Midnight Rambling
Should I fall in love again, I beg it be with my best friend. Should it be with my best friend, I beg he love me to the end. Should he love me to the end, I beg our love is filled with peace. And should our love be filled with peace, I beg my … Continue reading Should I Fall in Love Again
It burned, in every way imaginable... It burned in my lungs, It burned in my skin, It burned in my heart, And it burned in my eyes. Like the freshest air, or the hottest flame- The coldest water, or the brightest day. I felt it coat my mind and soul, Burning me alive, while making … Continue reading That Flame
