What if I told you, that some days, I am not ok? That sometimes I trip, and fall into an abyss of disarray That all I need to know, is that you won’t run away That the feelings in my head won’t stay That all I want is a tight embrace One that holds meContinue reading “Long enough”

Panic
With eyes closed I stand still I let the water fall to my hands It’s warmth is the first thing I notice The steam in my lungs as I breathe deeply The tickle of each stream as it hits my skin The way it pools in my palms before it snakes around my fingers MyContinue reading “Panic”
Not yet
I met you in a dream once Dancing amongst the crowd, you pulled me near But instead of what I expected, you said “Not yet, dear. It’s not time.” And before I could respond, you twirled me away And vanished. ~A
Just words
In the chill of winter Your words felt like summer on my skin A distant caress of something…unknown They are just words At least, that’s what I told myself But maybe those words were more Maybe they were true And maybe that truth sparked a feeling I had once pushed away. ~A

The carousel
In the quiet spaces between breaths, I hear a symphony of chaos The sentences overlap, jumbling together like an uncoordinated dance My mind is never quiet Always running, stuck in a roundabout, never quite knowing which turn to take Sometimes panic tells me to keep on the carousel “You won’t make it.” “What if it’sContinue reading “The carousel”
