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…

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…

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…
