June 17th, 2023 Read it again. And again. And again.
Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
Because you brighten my day Even when the sun’s shining When I’m feeling down & fret You’re my silver lining Your warmth is like a buffet
In the depths of heartbreak’s icy… Where tears flow freely, leaving t… A soul finds solace in longing’s b… Aching for a love it hopes to rega… The echoes of laughter, once share…
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
One day I hope your love Will reunite with mine Or so I tell myself because It won’t
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
Hello my Darling, how are you? How was your day? What can I do? Hello my Love,
Were your reasons true? Were they for me or for you? Was there really nothing we could… I wonder. Why was it easier to hide?
This hope A cold burning A flame made of shadow Fueled by need and fueled by desir… Goes out
It’s not the familiarity It’s not the loneliness It’s not the memories It’s not the safety It’s not the comfortability
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
