heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

In this loud house with obnoxious lighting, you pull me aside when the music gets too loud to talk over. Sat on a ratty couch, your arms spread over the cushions behind us and my heart beats almost right out, into my hands. The only thing that scares me more than you wanting to talk to me is you not wanting to talk to me. This scene feels familiar, the déjà vu hits me, and the replay gives me motion sickness.

In the luminous embrace of a city that never slept, where the skyline painted a tapestry of dreams against the canvas of the night, two souls collided in a dance of destiny.

This Road
This road, it is a river, A vein cut in the earth, That marries destinations And separates the hurt. They're endless, all these rivers,

It doesn’t matter how hard I try,.... you are there to hold me up when it benefits you; but quick to turn your back when I need you too.

A small harmless choice It brought you into this world Your choice took you away. R.I.P. Uncle Josh, I will miss you greatly.

Venom from the snakes mouth Poisoning the ears of the innocent Sting of the scorpions tail Crimson red spills out. ~~~ Parchment drenched in sweat and tears

When my soul is doubtful, I write. Sometimes… if the rabbit foot hiding in my imagination actually works, then it works.

I never thought about you much in my twenties. I never thought about you much in my early thirties either. I never felt the need.
