Closure

There was a time When I wanted To know Everything About you Now I'd do Anything To forget

Love

You speak to parts of my soul I never knew existed

Blue

As a child, I was taught colours had actions and meanings

Green means go, red means stop, yellow means caution

But I was never taught what blue demanded me to do

Light blue was always the colour of the sky on a clear day

And deep blue always hid the wondrous depths of the oceans just out of sight

And sometimes blue was an adjective to describe my feeling of depression

But it had no action associated with it

And you…

You wear too much blue

All it does is bring out the colour in your eyes

So I have no idea what to do when I look at them

I want to stare at them for hours and take in every shade, every hue

Every reflection that makes me feel like I’m in the clouds flying

But I forget to breathe when you’re near

Because it feels like the butterflies in my stomach are strangling me from within

Or that I’m drowning amongst the waves from far too many emotions I cannot name

So I force myself to look away

And I am left with feeling a colour I do not know how to explain

Because you change my understanding of the word

Blue

Belonging

The instant that you make me smile

Know that my heart is yours

What do angels actually look like per the bible?

Well, according to Ezekiel 1 they might look something like this…

According to Daniel 10 something like this…

According to Isaiah 6…

In Ezekiel 10… 

Again in Ezekiel 10…

Basically, when the people writing Scripture tried to describe what they saw when they saw an angel… they run into the end of their imagination… they can never quite seem to fully explain it because they had trouble even comprehending what they saw, let alone being able to describe it to someone else.

Joy

The sound of your sweet laugh

Carried on the wind

Until it echoes in my heart

Inevitability

I didn’t leave

You just stopped looking

In all the places

You knew you’d find me

Intimacy

I masturbated to the thought of you again today; I know I shouldn’t tell you

But imagining you walking in finding me at my most intimate

And making you watch but not touch

While I slowly witness your face turn from surprise to hunger

Craving to be where my hands travelled

Wanting to be the force that pulls me apart

Turned the shame into exhilaration and I just couldn’t stop

Until my body got so drained I could do nothing but stop

And the pleasure it pulled from deep within came cascading out of me

Like a deep breath one pulls to get air into their lungs

After almost drowning; desperate and inescapable

Name Redacted

I am so tired of leaving the ball in your court

But giving you all this energy

Is leaving none for me in return

And I am slowly becoming the nothingness

That lies in the abyss between us

The only light in the tunnel

Is the hope that one day

You will show me you feel the same

But in the meantime

I suffocate in the vacuum of space

How do I give up on what could be

When all I can think of is your name?

Duplicity

I did my best to keep my distance

But you broke that silence

And now I want to walk away

But you've taken up residence in my brain

It’s a unique kind of heartbreak

How being close to you

And being far away from you

Both feel the same

Threat Levels

Is it a warning or a threat When he yells from the comfort of his car “A skirt like that on a day like this Are you trying to get some attention girl?” My heart catches in my throat And it suppresses my voice But he’s gone before I can whisper back “I’m just trying to live for me without anyone’s attention”

Iridescence

You paint the sky a kaleidoscopic rainbow

Each colour pigmented by a part of your soul

How you talk about your mother: crimson

When you step aside to let the elderly on the bus first: navy blue

How early you get up just for fun to watch the sunrise: canary yellow

That smile you give someone as you pass each other: violet

How you switch sides of the beds when you sleep alone so the mattress wears down more evenly: slate grey

How late you stay up to help a friend in need:  emerald green

The way you roll your eyes at an arrogant man: orange

How fine you chop an onion: ivory

The unashamed enthusiasm you exude when you see a new dog: burnished gold

I’m in love with the thought of you

Because you bring colour to everything you do

Distance

You look like someone I could learn to hate.

And as time slowly moved on, that hatred would dull, turning into a melancholic understanding that relationships aren’t meant to last.

And maybe, one day, I could even learn to love you again through a distant memory.

Three Little Words

The irony is

Everyone else has given me compliments

Except for you

When you are the only one here

I care about

Unkonwable

The touch of your skin

The taste of your lips

The crinkle around your eyes when you smile

The fullness when you enter me

The way your calloused hands cup my breasts

The shudder of your hips when it all becomes too much and your pleasure pushes you over the edge

The marks of your teeth on my skin

The sound of my name groaned breathlessly from your throat

The sharpness of a spank from your belt

The rush of ecstasy when you call me yours

The lonely emptiness when you leave my body

These are the cherished memories I’ll never have of you

Guarded

"I don't expect anything from you" Those were his last words to me And I carry them everywhere I go Like a shield to protect my fragile heart Seemingly impenetrable to others But it only hides them From seeing the damage When they hurt me so And the damage I do to myself When I don't let them in In order to protect them from me

Clarity

I want answers But there’s Too many words Rolling around Inside my head To be able to Form any questions
