Little Light of Mine
The darkness in me Rarely shows its face I’ve shoved it way down Deep inside I tuck it in, throw layers on top I pile them high So high you would think This darkness could never escape Some days, it creeps up slowly Little by little Trying to reach the surface Let out it’s deep Continue reading

This boat I’ve built
So maybe I’ve always been this empty Most days, it just feels right I’ve been living this way Completely unnoticed So, no news is new news I’m drifting along In a boat, I’ve built myself Hardly stays afloat But it works well enough for me When the waves aren’t too high’ you see I crash Continue reading

At times, I feel I’ve been wrapped in plastic I can move, see, walk freely But there’s this film over me I’m trying to break out Screaming silently I don’t want you to hear me I don’t want you to know what it’s like My pain hidden, unseen The outside matches up Ankle to nose Continue reading

Trashed, dropped, stepped on, and forgot about. My protective layer is so easily dismantled. I stand here bare, nude, uncovered. With no answers. Continue reading

Wearing My Hair Down
What will I be left with when these feelings are gone What will I write when the linger of you has passed on How will I feel when I’ve overcome this all Who will I be when I’m not begging for your kiss Where will I sit if it’s not by your side What will Continue reading

Not One More Hello
Why is it called goodbye I find nothing good about it It’s painful It hurts No matter the reason No matter the being Saying goodbye is final I’m in despair, unwilling, unprepared I’m hopelessly waiting a return I know will never come Why call it goodbye Saying it brings tears Falling wastefully from my eyes Continue reading

Loving you is easy
Loving you was easy It happened over night Forgetting you isn’t so I’m hardly surviving this fight Continue reading

Dear Eddie
To never laugh with you To never cry To never getting that final goodbye To never seeing your face Or feeling your big bear hug To never sit at your table Or hear music played too loudly To never seeing you dance Or the smiles that follow on our faces To never hearing how your Continue reading
