I miss you

But not in the way

That a person misses that restaurant

That closed down

And damn now I can’t get my churrasco anymore

But in a way

That a child misses their blanket

That there is an indescribable longing

For something that is no longer there

And damn this actually physically hurts

I miss you

And that’s never going to stop

You...

If you’re lucky enough to love her

There’s a few things you should know

Like her favorite flower is a lily

Or Twizzlers done in bouquet

That she loves her morning workout

Started with a smoothie

Her nephews have her heart

Even when they’re wild

She’s stronger than the mightiest oak

But even they can break

So give her hugs just because

Kisses on her...

There was a time
Where hurt feigned hate
Like a method actor
Setting their scene

But hidden below
Was only love
Concealing its nature
Attempting to mask
True feelings inside

Pretending to move on
So no one could see
The mirror in them
Reflecting you

A million different faces
Each containing traces
Of a love that was lost
And it's lasting cost
Of the flame...

Days blend in
To memories of
The day we first met

So clear in my mind
The day my Eyes
Locked with yours

You were the missing piece
To my puzzle called me
Fit so perfectly
It had to be right

Burning hearts become one
Until the days are done

You were my dream
The one just for me
Now my heart holds on
To...

I hate that we're ghosts
Set adrift through the world
Pretending what we had
Perished in a fire of our own making

The dreams that we shared
Only whispers on a faint breeze
Blowing frivolously into the space between

I hate that the best of friends
Drift apart
As if they were sailing a raging sea
Washing ashore in the unknown

I hate
In the...

If I had a seed to plant for each of the days
That I'd have written you but was too afraid
I'd have grown the most beautiful forest
Filled with the lushest of trees

Life so abundant
It would have its own pulse
Beating to the sound of the songs of the birds
Singing the tune of everlasting gratitude
In return for their existence

An...

I’m caught up on all the little things

Watching the world pass by

When nothing else mattered

But the Spark in your eye

I look for the way your hair

Cascading in its vibrant

Falls over the soft angles

Of your face

In every strand

Lives the comforting scent of you

I listen for

The sweet honey of your voice

Coating my entire being

With...

Letting go,
Has been described as,
The act of getting to know
Yourself so deeply that
All delusions fall away.

Letting go and moving on
Are two completely different
Sets of ideals
That we, far too often,
Compare together

Moving on is allowing
Oneself a moment to breathe
When everything feels so heavy
Your legs could be swept from beneath you

We "move on" because...

A few weeks ago my mother, who was my biggest cheerleader sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer. This is for her....

Mom,

You were the light that colored
So many of our skies with the
Most brilliant of colors
Your smile was one that
You got from Pap
And it welcomed everyone
To the room

Your kindness
It is the sweet breeze...

When the universe decides,
you're not worth its time,
keeps pushing you aside

No matter how hard you try,
To turn it around,
Only to be met,
With resounding silence

You try to help,
But help isn't wanted,
Shoved aside again,
Unwanted is all your heart feels

Get back up,
and try again,
only this time tragedy strikes

All odds stacked against you,
And all...

Isn't it amazing how one minute we can be perfectly fine and the next we find ourselves in an ocean of tears? That's how I've found myself tonight and for me it just helps to get the thoughts out of my head by writing. So if you find this to be nonsense and utterly unappealing, I won't be offended if you scroll by. For those...
