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…

The First Step
Morning arrived quietly. The storm had spent itselfsometime before dawn,leaving only the slow rhythmof water slippingfrom leaf to leaf. She opened her eyesbeneath the old treethat had carried her safelythrough the longest night. For a while,she simply listened. The wind no longer howled.The thunder had wandered elsewhere.Even the birds,once frightened into silence,had begun again. She…

The Storm Between the Trees
August 3, 2026 The woman wandered fartherthan she had ever dared before. The familiar brookhad long since disappeared,its gentle song swallowedby towering pinesthat stood like silent guardiansbeneath a darkening sky. She searched for the pathshe thought she had known,but every traillooked like the last. Then came the wind.Soft at first.A whisper through the branches.Then stronger.Until…

More Like Her
I wonder in the quiet night,If I’d still linger in your sight.Her greenish eyes, her softer voice…I wonder if she’d be your choice. Would my smile fill your days,Or would you long for all her ways?Would you have chosen her instead,If fate had turned another thread? I knew you long before she came,Long before your…

The Quiet Forrest
July 30, 2026 She woke where the moss embraced the earth,beneath a canopy stitched with emerald light.No voices called her name.No footsteps lingered.Only the hush of leavesbreathing with the wind. She lay there for a while,waiting for the ache she had carriedto settle upon her chest once more. But it never came. The chains she…

Consequences
July 28, 2026 Each choice we make, both small and wide,Leaves footprints where our hearts reside.Though time may soften every scar,It cannot change the marks they are. I cannot beg the tide to stay,Nor wash the things I’ve cast away.No pleading voice, no whispered plea,Can rewrite what has come to be. You placed your trust…

It is what it is
July 26, 2026 Spoken words with steady grace,As though no storm had crossed your face.They came so non-chalant and clear,While mine dissolved in silent fear. Mistakes I made had broken trust,And left your heart to feel unjust,For standards that you set so high,Could not be met, though I would try. Said out loud with ease…
