My Mother in Nature
I sink into the soil
And feel my breath
Fuller than when I was before
My fingertips brush the leaves
So delicate and poised
But it is that feel
That lets my eyes blink closed in comfort
The wooded around me
With the branches of paths
Spread out across this lair
It feels like home.
And they call my name
But I’m too far
In this woods is my home
I am free
As are these trees
For the air in here is ...
Encore
The songs she had been known for were one-hit wonders,
Remembered for a familiar chorus, an underrated tune.
She always floated through the melodies,
Used to being skipped over.
Waiting for someone to listen past the first track,
To stay past the intermission,
To play her songs on repeat.
But repeatedly, they fell short.
When he heard her for the first time,
He closed his eyes and thought he mig...
My Own Arms
Flower petals dust the bed
You press urself to my chest
We kiss
Magical moment in my life
Been hoping for this
I could say that being in ur arms...
I've finally found my true home...
But fuck no
You screwed me off the next day
Treated me like a motherfucking piece of shit
Like you had never wanted me in the first place
So instead I say, in _my own arms_, I found my home__

_And fuck you off ...
Crimson Nights
In your arms, I feel secure
In your presence I feel peace.
Every night we play. Your the reason I stay
The only one who supported me
I always feel rejected but by you I’m protected.
I can be myself in front of you and you the same. In your arms, I found a safe place only we can go
In your arms, I found a home...
Then, there was you.
From nowhere you burst into my life like a shooting star racing across the night sky.
Slowly you began the arduous work of mending a heart you did not break.
Every word that escaped your lips a balm for the bruised and bloody wounds so carelessly gifted to me.
With your hand in mine I learned to love again. To trust again.
In your eyes I saw forever - blissful, peaceful, safe. Each kiss a prom...
On My Own
(Twisted the prompt up a bit)
In your arms, I found my home
At least I thought I did
Until all the walls started falling around me
One by one crashing onto the pavement
Suddenly I couldn’t breathe
All the vile things you’d said to me on repeat
Was that the goal?
Hurting me?
We’re you trying to make me hate you?
Because in your mind
You thought it’d be easier for me?
To let you go.
To ...
Little And Small Wings
Eating microwave rice out of a bag
and practicing hand shakes on the floor of the echoy foyer by the butler.
Your abundance of humanity almost mimicked your family’s income.
Yet you attempt to appeal to my humble upbringings and the way I fail to meet your traditional standards.
It was all a front to be around me, for some reason.
Grabbing my hand when I reach your door, stopping me from twisti...
In Your arms
As I push the brown hair up out of his face and look into his gorgeous hazel-green eyes I know where I am. I take a deep breath in and out never breaking the eye contact. It’s like something I can’t explain. He’s perfect.
I smile wide. “What?” He chuckles.
“Nothing.” I smile again.
I sat there in that moment for a long time. Soaking it up. Knowing that he really does love me. Knowing that I ...
A Love Letter 4 Them
I want her more than anything
I already tell her everything
She’s my tranquility
I need her more than anything
I don’t sleep well without her speaking to me
All the other boys that fumbled are under me
Sorry back to you you’re a Picasso piece
You’re lovely
Yes indeed
You’re my everything
This song is me telling you something
I hope you’re trusting me
Yes, I know
We aren’t a thing
But...
