One Left Alive
An ode to my favorite online game. The campfire died behind me when the darkness pulled me in,Another Trial, another night, another game to win.Four strangers dropped beneath the trees, no weapon in our hands,Just broken hooks and rusted steel and blood across these lands. I found a gen beneath the moon and worked beneath…

To Deserve This
What did I do in some other lifeTo earn this kind of endless strife?Whose heart did I abandon thereTo wake up owing this despair? Did I once leave someone in the cold,Break every promise that I told?Did someone wait the way I do,Watching, waiting, starting new? Because surely pain this fucking deepMust be a debt…

When Love Becomes a Verb
Love starts within the heart, a quiet, steady flame,A feeling without reason, before it has a name.It rises without warning, asks nothing to begin,A warmth that finds its resting place somewhere beneath the skin. Then love travels to the mind, where feelings learn to speak,Where thoughts return to someone through every passing week.It turns into…

Waves
I’m living now from breath to breath,Through these hours that feel like death.I count the minutes as they crawl,And tell myself, survive them all. A wave comes crashing overhead,With everything I wish you’d said.It pulls me under, cold and deep,Through memories that I meant to keep. I fight my way toward open air,Still reaching out…

Missing You
I miss you in the morning, when the world is barely bright,I miss you in the silence that settles in at night.I miss the way your presence made ordinary days feel new,And every little moment somehow led my thoughts to you. I miss the way you held me, the safety of your arms,The softness underneath…

Where You Are
I wonder what you’re doing now,If peace has found your restless brow.If morning came a little kind,Or left too many thoughts behind. I wonder if you’ve slept enough,If days without me still feel tough.If you’ve been laughing, feeling free,Or had a moment missing me. I wonder if you’re eating well,If there’s a story you won’t…

Stages of Grief
I. Denial She tells herself that he is near,That nothing truly changed out here.Perhaps he only needs some space,Then soon she’ll feel his warm embrace. She reads old footprints in the ground,And swears he’ll surely come around.This isn’t ending. Not like this.Not after each touch and kiss. The forest whispers what she knows,But still she…

Limbo
I cannot seem to stop these tears, they fall throughout the day,And nothing that I do can make this aching go away. They say that crying brings relief, that sorrow drains with rain,But every tear just leaves me numb, still drowning in the pain. I hate this place between us where I never seem to…

Doors
I’ve stood before a thousand doors,With unsure hands, on aching floors.Some opened wide and pulled me through,Some stayed locked no matter what I’d do. I’ve knocked until my knuckles bled,Believing love was just ahead.Convinced if I could knock once more,Someone would want me past that door. I’ve begged at thresholds, called a name,And wondered if…

Intensity
September 1, 2026 I used to think that love should burn,A raging fire at every turn.That if it didn’t shake my soul,It couldn’t possibly make me whole. I learned to measure love in ache,In sleepless nights and hands that shake.In racing hearts and stomach drops,In desperate starts and sudden stops. Intensity became my proof,A lightning…
