I’ve run out of tears to cry
over the ones that leave.
My heart remains complete.
All I need is all of me.
confessions
January 1st
still angry with my yesterdays,
with the past that makes today
hard to breathe through.
just sayin’
Here are two things you need to know about me:
(1) I’m a woman; and
(2) I’m not the type that waits around.
So when you leave, so do I.
Don’t think I’ll stay and wait like some litttle wife.
I have a life
to live.
it’s that time of year
I’m shedding my skin
every day I discover a new piece of me
as I lose another part
I thought I’d always be.
I should learn to be selfish
sometimes it feels
as if my everything
will never be enough
so I dig in for more
and from the depths of my soul &
bottom of my heart
I gather the last breath I have
just to gift it
right back to you.
it’s a process
I’m learning to accept
the soft and hard edges
that form and grow
every time
I give my heart away
and get nothing back
in return.
I know I’m not the only one
you get ahead of yourself-
you see him smile and imagine his laugh
see his strength and calculate
how much of your heart he can hold
until you begin falling
for all the parts you think you know
when in truth
he hasn’t shared anything with you
but his walls.
disappearing act
I’ve lost myself
in so many lips before
it’d be nice to
find myself in yours
this time.
Dunce
And if you were smart enough
you would know by now
that my silences mean more
than my words.
