You’re Safe With Me

Some days feel like the darkness is taking over,

But you’re stronger than they will ever know.

You don’t have to worry about them.

I will forever keep you safe.

They can’t hurt you now.

Consequences

I saw a beautiful flower growing in a crack.

I picked it and plucked a petal off.

I pulled one extra, and some more.

And much too late I realized,

I couldn’t put them back.

Maybe I Don’t Think Enough

I thought you loved me enough to know everything.

Maybe I was stupid to think you cared.

Maybe I shouldn’t have let you in.

But it is too late now.

Now, you aren’t going anywhere.

CONSTELLATION

His hands traced over every mark on her skin....

She asked why he would always do that,

He stopped then whispered in her ear...

‘I love all of you honey~’

‘Your marks are a Constellation..’

enemies

i wish i could break every mirror and scale

taking all peace with it

Dream

The man eyed her for awhile, then he spoke.

He said, “What did you have in mind?”

Handsome man with eyes only for me,

she thought. Though she said nothing.

A sigh, and she awoke.

Control

I have lost complete control of everything this week,

Honestly it is not anyone's fault, just mine,

I've bitten more than I can chew.

Still holding on to my sanity,

Praying for it to return.

Surviving Life

Clawing, scratching at life, fingers cut to the bone,

hammering away at an existence even I forgot,

struggling, yet forging ahead little by little

until that part of me says,

"Finally!" I have come home.

I Thought

I thought we could be close, since that email,

You replied to my message your writing sweet,

Next I sent you a few questions,

But you haven't replied, so I,

Sent a story, please reply?

A Scoop of the Unmeasurable

At the distance where all voices sound the same.

Tolls the voice. The voice transformed by space.

Were all words hold the same meaning,

The universe is constantly being defined.

Meanings far beyond any comprehension.
