When You Left
I thought it was your light
that kept me,
that guided me,
but when you left and the darkness came,
I thought it was your light
that kept me,
that guided me,
but when you left and the darkness came,
If they make you
work for their attention
fight for their affection
beg for their love
A sad truth that takes many of us far too long to realize. Just because we want something or even think we deserve it, doesn't mean we will get it or even need it.
in Meaningful Poems
I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning.
When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.
When that song comes on,
When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength.
How about sad but hopeful.
Lonely but looking inward.
Resting but planning your next step.
You’re not alone in this; you know that, right?
There are others like you.
Hiding. Running. Wishing
for a desire they keep hidden
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,
Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
in Short Poems
You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.
