Growing distance maims
My hollowing heart without
You filling me up

Your Love Is A Band-Aid

I’ve got a heart that beats

But it’s making a mess

A red pool growing bigger in time

It’s the beat of our song

 

That love pours forth

Red drips on the page

Our story forever alive

Part of our hearts and in the books

 

You patch me up

I wait to heal

Your love is a band-aid

A mere temporary seal

 

Love stabs, love wounds

But the blood keeps pumping

Through my body and through that hole

Yet I’m still alive

 

These words make scabs

Flesh covering flesh again

To keep myself whole

Where a scar remains

 

Love scars, never gone

For once united, always a part

A dead X marks the spot

Of a buried seed, growing inward

 

You patch me up

I wait to heal

Your love is a band-aid

A mere temporary seal

 

Love stabs, love wounds

But the blood keeps pumping

Through my body and through that hole

Yet I’m still alive

 

Cage behind heartstrings

Our love stays captive

Two hearts together

Separated in new reality

 

Arms outstretched we see

A new embrace outside

That hugs the free

And the chamber stays deep

 

You patch me up

I wait to heal

Your love is a band-aid

A mere temporary seal

 

Love stabs, love wounds

But the blood keeps pumping

Through my body and through that hole

Yet I’m still alive

Infinitely True

You know it won’t go

That ache in your chest

Beating since you’ve gone

It’s me for the rest

 

Even when you leave

The hole doesn’t fill

Not a soul compares

To mine steadfast still

 

My heart knows it

Yours keeps how I do

As love held so deep

It’s infinitely true

I wake from a dream,

A place where you’re with me,

With an empty seat now beside

I must wait to see

If our waking hours

Open our eyes to

Our story forever realizing

All our life will be

Though it may come

At a greater upfront fee

The choices honors the miraculous

 

I confessed missing you

As big as the sky

When you first asked nervously

Riding that discovered high

Now we coast the clouds

In vessels we don’t fly

Can you feel it too

That ache too thorough to deny

The hesitancy a sting that relieves

In love we can still purify

When you come back home

Rainy Shock Therapy

The chemistry changes
When one’s removed
A unity rearranged
My charge runs high on low

Without you to offset
The electricity runs wild inside
It’s more than I’ve let
Send my heart into overdrive

The rain outside pours
Ever since you left
Washing over our mores
Hope for separate worlds

If only water reached
The desert’s dry land
That sand where you beached
Cowardly retreat across the ocean

Meanwhile rain falls
Straight into my chest
Dripping down the walls
The initial shock knocks back

Once again it changes
The shape of my heart
A spot for you arranges
Leaving the rest whole again

How can a teddy
Remind me of you
When I bought it
And the one for you

I hug the dream
All the way through
Only waking up not
Knowing what to do

You’re not here
It’s a bear in lieu
A placeholder for words
You know it’s true

I go to sleep
In a deep, silent blue
The animal I cling
Gives the comfort due

Unreturned whispers echo
Nothing back, nothing new
The blanketed truth
Not changing my view

In body and spirit
I’m without you
I wait endlessly for
That gold from you

Knowing it’s not you

Missing that guy who
Never follows through for you
Loneliness keeps you

Cracked Mirror

I look into the mirror
After the fog clears
I can’t see you
Through all my fears

I know you’re there
After it’s said and done
A crack splits us
No reflection as one

I hold it so tight
This vision inside
You staring back
Returning with the tide

Now it’s only me
When you don’t take time
To cherish this love
Worth more than a dime

All I feel is alone
When you say nothing at all
How can you not know
Without words I fall?

I have my one request
That you’ve let slip
So I’ll stop asking
And save this service of lip

  • Starlit Darkness 
              As it felt like I continued to fall deeper into darkness, I reminded myself to keep dreaming positively.

  • Falling
          These plain manicures go back to the fall. The season marked a time of change and a new look at my world. Perhaps the perspective in what I held in my hands stole some of the focus and expression I would normally have for my nail art.  I went from a bold […]

  • Plain Sparkles
    After the Top Shelf plain manicure, I had another plain one with some sparkles added. I just didn’t feel spirited enough to enjoy my me time. I still made myself go through the motions though. I might not have been applying makeup regularly, but I kept my nails polished. The little touches kept me from […]
