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 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…

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…

One day at a time
July 26, 2026 Tomorrow waits beyond my door,A place walked many times before.Yet now each hallway seems so wide,With nowhere left for me to hide. I’ll wear my name upon my chest,And pray my trembling heart finds rest.I’ll tie my hair, stand tall once more,Though grief still washes to my shore. Perhaps I’ll hear your…

Penance
July 25, 2026 I built a room of silent stone,where I could bear my grief alone.No judge appeared, no sentence came,so I pronounced my own in shame. I wore regret like iron chains,counted heartbeats, counted pains.If tears could pay what I had done,I’d fill the oceans one by one. I thought that every aching breathshould…

If I were gone
July 23, 2026 I do not mean the kind of gonewhere flowers gather in the rain,or names are carved in weathered stoneto whisper softly of our pain. I mean the quieter kind of gone,where footsteps simply cease to fall,where no one turns to call my namebecause I wasn’t there at all. No shadow stretching in…
