1. Touched By An Angel
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
Love is a dynamic and changing emotion. Sometimes it grows and sometimes it fades. Moving on from a relationship or marriage, leaving behind a past love, or pursuing a new fling can be scary, uncertain, and difficult. However, the prospect of change and new experiences can also be exciting and a time for discovery. Focusing on the opportunities and experiences ahead rather than dwelling in past memories can help us to move forwards. Our lives are in flux in every experience and moment, and letting go, no matter how difficult, is an important part of that process.

Today I will leave
And without a fair trade.
I don't care if this hurts you.
It was your bed you made.

Your name is just a name now.
Memories no longer rush back,
pouring through my body,
flooding my mind, drowning my
Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,
When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength.
When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.
When that song comes on,
I thought it was your light
that kept me,
that guided me,
but when you left and the darkness came,
I miss you in silence
And every moment in between
But I’m a little busy unfolding
Those pieces of who I used to be
One has to find themself, I agree, and not be totally reliant on somebody. I know because I was never allowed to live freely; now my independence I treasure dearly.
The earth spins like a rolling ball.
Stars shine bright then fade away.
Darkness melts and turns to light.
The sunrise starts another day.
I don’t know
what healing
is meant
to look like,
I'm very fond of short, powerful, poems, and this is one for sure. Recovery can be the hardest thing we do, but it's always, always, worth it. Good write/read.
Moving on was
never meant to be easy.
It will hurt, it will be painful,
it will be exhausting,
These teardrops beside me flow,
From a quiet, happy, thankful soul.
The years taking their expensive toll,
Her beautiful smile a grand seed to sow.
You make me laugh and smile
when I need a cry, even if it's only for a little while.
You make me happy when I am sad,
I relate to this poem so much. My boyfriend broke up with me in a similar manner. He said things were complicated and that he just wanted me to be happy and that I should find someone that...
To everything there's a time and season
Time to laugh and to weep for good reason.
A season for living, to find true love
And a time to dance with angels above...
You were my boat, sleek by design.
I was your jetty, one of a kind.
We were deeply in love and made for each other,
And I promised I'd never harbour another.
The little woman on the left
the one upon my shoulder,
tells me I should guard my heart.
She wants me to make it colder.
There is a time to love
And a time to forget
A time to get rid of
And a time to close set
One day you're gonna see her,
But she won't be looking at you.
One day you'll feel like she did,
And you won't know what to do.
I remember getting my heart broken by this boy. He was in 11th grade, and I was in 9th grade. We met over the summer. He went to my school, and he treated me like I was all he ever loved. In...
I used to love you,
Gently, carefully...
As I was afraid of falling too deep.
It all started at the end of summer. She was sad, and I was angry at the things she was sad about. I wanted to make her happy. I can't normally stand to see people sad. So after a long week...
