Theres Beauty

There’s beauty

Concealed in her lashes

That even when she crashes

She looks divine

A nymph in a dream

So perfect she seems

A fragment of a wish

A mark from a kiss

A warmth taking its niche

Into steely hearts

Though she was never welcomed

She knocks in hope

All she craves is wholeness

An opportunity to rebuild

Her beautiful bleeding pieces

Scattered on the floor

A time to heal

Gaping wounds she fears

Might bleed for eternity

And leave her dry

For the longest time

She wore them with pride

Valor creeps in her eyes

As she screams again

In pain

That never wavered her faith

No matter how hard it gnaws

Against her scarred skin!

-Beautiful bleeding pieces,

"When the road becomes lonely

And the songs you hum

Become the teardrops

That flow between

The lines of your palms

To your poems

And you don't feel

Like you belong

Anywhere anymore

Remember me

Remember the love

We have known

And come back

My heart is always waiting

For you to claim it

Come back to my arms

For I am your hiding place

Your refuge

Your home"

-your hiding place,

Wave crashes

Against the halcyon shore

Sweeping the silvery beach

A lover coming home

Only to leave again

It never stays

Like the moon that fades

To give way to the day

I watch your face beam

As the sun kisses it

Feel my heart aches

For I can only stare at it

Such a tragedy that I

I fell in love with the moon

That no matter how I yearn

I won't hold it like my own

For just like the sun,

I can only hope to rise soon

Maybe sooner than I used to

So I can catch your light at dawn

But I would run extra miles

You and I won't still collide

So I whisper to the stars

Baby I'm halfway home

-halfway home (I fell in love with the 🌙 )

Thank you for setting me free. For choosing to let go. For giving up on me. You know how I broke the moment your footsteps died in the hall. Tore my heart out when the truth that we’re finally over dawned. I was desperate, crying for hours over a love I thought would last. For weeks I kept imploring the gods. In grief, I was begging you to come back.

Then suddenly, I was no longer grieving. Suddenly, I was no longer pained. Suddenly, I was no longer mumbling your name.

For in the darkness, he found me. Brave as Lochinvar, he took my hand. Suddenly, I am looking at the sunset. Suddenly, I notice his eyes are golden. Suddenly he becomes my one and only. Suddenly, he means the world to me.

-He means the world to me,
