real love
some want to hold you
in the palm of their hands
other want to hold you
in their heart.
soul speak
if the language of the heart
is hope
than the language of the soul
is truth–
the heart may lie
but deep down
the soul
always knows.
compromise
i forgave you
because i didn’t want to lose you–
but somehow
i lost
myself.
across the universe
sometimes i wonder
if you ever look up
at my stars
and try and make sense
of the constellations.
war all the time
peace comes
not when the enemy is defeated—
but when the enemy
is understood.
losing you
between what was said
and what was felt
i knew
i had left
her heart.
all apologies
i couldn’t trust your words
so your apologies
never meant
that much
to me.
cold
no amount of wishing
turns your sour wine
sweet
yet i still find myself
drinking until
i am full.
gone
i have been chasing something
which existed
in a moment of time
that passed.
