    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…

  • Today

    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…

    At the End of This Rainbow

    This is a moment,in my life.I want to be more for you.I want to give you all of me.I want you to see.all of the goodness I can bring.but in me,these limits are all I have.The right church;the wrong pew.The love in my heart.Just isn’t enough for you. Right now,I can only give you half…

  • With All the Love in My Heart

    With All the Love in My Heart

    It still pains me, That there isn’t a day that goes by, That what I am certain we were, Doesn’t cross my mind,I am sorry you met me, The me that was beautifully destroyed,The me that was deeply flawed, But the me who I am,That me loved you,That me held my heart open,That me made…

    3:45 PM

    I don’t know where you’ve been. I know, it’s probably not true. I am looking for you. I don’t know where I’ve been. The voices, they tell me, they tell me it’s okay. I wish, I wish I knew, I wish I knew where to go. Without your hand in mine. I’m afraid I’m out…

  • Aquí Mismo. En Este Momento

    Aquí Mismo. En Este Momento

    We came from different places.Two different roads, Two different countries, Two different histories,Our two paths, once diverged, came together.A beautiful moment, intersected, where love bloomed. From two vastly different backgrounds. Within that moment, all I saw was a future as one. We knew each other’s story. We knew each other’s words. We felt each other’s…

  • Equal Footing

    Equal Footing

    Maybe you’re right,as these days pass through,into another cold rainy night. It’s not that I am angry, or that I’ve lost my sight, what I can see and what is unseen, is that none of us seem to be living our dreams. When those who came to help me, what those kind, caring, and helpful…

  • Forgive, Regret, Miss Life.

    Forgive, Regret, Miss Life.

    I regret that I did not know enough about the differences in language to understand how a lack of clarity, an inability to communicate, and a failure to see each other as deeply human and beautifully flawed people would be so detrimental to my present and our future. I regret that it was impossible for…

  • Vacancy

    Vacancy

    Thank you, for showing me what empty feels like.Thank you, for showing me the depths of how much love can hurt.Thank you, for destroying that which took a lifetime to build.Thank you, for showing me how having hopes and dreams was worthless when standing face to face. Thank you, for disrobing me of my well…

    When Did You Know?

    When did you knowyou were the one?For me, it was from that very first moment.When I first looked in your eyes,I had this sudden and deep feeling of love.That deep inside me I knew I would never be the same.This love could have stood the test of time. I knew from that very moment that…
