I wouldn’t dream of making all of yours come true, but I’d be happy just to watch Maybe even take part in a few It’s your smile that draws me into you And your laugh that makes me smile too Maybe I’ve already fallen into your beady eyes, a dreamy hue, I take pleasure in … Continue reading Dreams
I want you to lay under the sky with me as hues of green peek through backlit trees I want to look over and see you smile back at me as I hold my breath and take in the view of you like I just pressed ‘pause’ on my screen I want you to lay … Continue reading Everything in Between
Lately, when I think of you, Poems start to swirl in my head Like flowers blowing in the wind Some are “cheery and happy” and I want us to frolic in a field of sunflowers as the sun begins to dim Some are sexy and sensual and I want to lay you down in a … Continue reading Garden
I’ve never felt comfortable on my knees Praying for insight or reprieve Hoping that heaven is listening or that the devil hasn’t seen. I’d rather stand at the intersection of my pain and release, the place where my fears and truths meet.

I know it’ll pass but the lonely is strong when I don’t want to cry into my pillow, filling it with my hurt because I want to be held. When I want to cry into a chest more resilient than mine in the moment. To be pulled in tighter than I can hug myself. The … Continue reading The Lonely Hour
Hold me like you’ll never let me go Tight like short shorts on thick thighs. Hold me like you’ll love me forever Infinite like the stars in the sky. Hold me like tomorrow isn’t promised Ready to die but eager to survive. Hold me like survival isn’t good enough Ready to live with happiness in … Continue reading Hold Me
I’ve been struggling lately. This is what has come from that struggle so far. I’m a work in progress. Healing takes time. 💜
Words escape your mouth and hide underneath my skin; their jagged edges coloring my sweat the most beautiful red. I lie in bed, avoiding both our truths. You’re an abuser and I seek to understand your hurt too. Love can heal but that’s something we both must choose. Just saying “I love you” is enough … Continue reading Self Reflection
