real love
some want to hold you
in the palm of their hands
other want to hold you
in their heart.
compromise
i forgave you
because i didn’t want to lose you–
but somehow
i lost
myself.
war all the time
peace comes
not when the enemy is defeated—
but when the enemy
is understood.
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.
past and pending
to be able to remember everything
so vividly
is a blessing and a curse—
you can be at the top of a mountain
and the bottom of the sea
simultaneously,
past and presents
only words–
each moment
just a part of the precarious
masterpiece in progress.
spent
what do you do
when what you love
has taken all you have—
and all you have left
to hold onto
is hope?
quiet words
don’t hide your pain
to spare someone’s feelings–
don’t forget who
was holding
the knife.
