Writing From This Heart

Take all that remains

Maybe all I wanted to hear are those simple words that all too quickly disappeared.Maybe all I just needed was someone to hold me close.To hold my hand. To help me through this paralyzing fear. Just the one, to look me in the eyes and say “I’m Here.” To hear, and know, To feel and…

Love, Love, Me

When I’m alone, I think of the times we were together, those many days, and all those calming nights, they were some of the happiest times I’ve ever seen.. And then you pushed me away, you pushed me off a cliff. You got me hurtin’ so bad that I keep missin’, missin’ what I had.…

Lost Self

More

I used to know who I am. I used to know what love was. I used to know my heart’s desire. I used to know the depths of my strength. And then I found some more. I once had the strongest sense of self. I once had love and dreams fulfilled. I once stood tall…

If the ending would have been just a little different: I would have treated you better. I would have held you even longer. I would have made you prouder. I would have hurt you less. I would have hurt myself a little less. I would have listened a little more. I would have forgiven myself…

Maybe.

Maybe I don’t know, What this is all about? Maybe I don’t know, How to get by without? Maybe I don’t know, My real path or route? Maybe I don’t know, Because all I do is roam? Maybe I don’t know, Which way to move? Maybe I don’t know, …

Home

When you’re faced with a moment, After the longest of roads… When you wouldn’t know who you are. When the pressure is at its worst. When life has kicked you, In the chest, in the head, So many times, All you wished for was the end, You are in need of that very moment, To…

Today

I do not feel the fright. I do not feel it’s time for flight. I do not seek from you a new light. I do not prepare for another fight. I do not look to be gifted a new sight. It was real for me. It was real for you to see. It was real…

Faster Stillness

When we come into life, it’s been said we scream “Giddy Up!” And go out screaming “Whoa!” In our youth, always saying “Let’s go.” In those later years, holding one’s hand saying “Please don’t let go.” A life lived in measures of zero to sixty, at the end praying more for infinity. So many moments…
