There are moments of intense vulnerability, moments when the missing you is so intense it takes my breath away, moments when only being wrapped in your arms will make it ok.

e.v.e.

The most grief stricken hearts have learned to dance in the midst of the storm.

For it is only the rain that yields growth.

My behaviors trouble me When I concern anybody I feel fucking disgusting I want to wall myself in I want to take it out on My own skin

Maybe I do just want to be Left alone in my bedroom Just me and my weird Relationship with food Me and my mother issues Me and my unsolvable Drinking problem Just me and my endless Rock-bottom

- Words to carry with you. ✨

It’s in the foods we eat. Chopping vegetables with tender care. Adding spices for health. Nourishing our bodies and those of our loved ones. It’s in the small victory of being able to breathe deeply. It’s in the feel of the green grass on our bare feet. Connecting to this, our home, our planet. It’s in the fleeting smile and laughter of those around us. Connecting to joy that comes less and less these days. It’s in a warm strong hug. Feeling enveloped and comforted. It’s in the smell of flowers, of backyard fires, of baked goods. Comfort and memories that we thought long forgotten. It’s in the music, the all, the everything. Weaving our emotions, our souls into the very sound. Patterned waves with emotions intertwined. This and more is Everyday Sunshine.

The maiden veiled in white.

Head to toe in lacy ivory white, she makes such a pretty sight.

A porcelaine dove not in flight, her wings will be clipped, before this very night.

Her slow decent down to hell and all to the beat of a mocking church bell.

Dissociation

I'm always jumping into addictions

Even when sober—I got afflictions

Where is the doctor?

Write me prescriptions

I know something is wrong—

Why won't I listen?

What is inside of me?

I know something is missing...

They say it's 'God'

But it's a Goddess I'm kissing!

Everyday waking up—it feels like I'm drifting...

Further and further away!

Don't grab my hand—don't stay

Don't come inside of this space!

It's telling me people don't change...

I'm trying to do better

Think my heart's just too closed off

It sits in my stomach like metal

All of its doors stay locked

A sponsor once said "don't get involved"

That meant with anyone—

I think they were seeing the Devil!

Was gonna tattoo my sins

To remind me of what I did

—didn't have enough skin

So I swallowed the ink instead...

Now when I speak it's collage!

Snapping (In Four Parts)

1 When my hands became too cold for me to ever sleep, you would make me heated water bottles nightly, but you wouldn't tell me to eat.

2 I'd try to kick you out of the house. Threaten. Barter. Scream. Ask you kindly to please just leave.

Now and again, you would seemingly relent. You'd head for the door with only your hunting riffle slung over your shoulder.

The looming implication never ceased to call my bluff. I'd beg you back inside. We'd lay down in our little bed. Side by fucking side.

3 At the end, I shared things that I'd previously kept private. Like the night I described to you what a tresspasser once did to my body.

You were quiet as usual, but still feigned empathetic.

When you fucked me the next morning, you began to recreate the exact details.

As if it was a competition. As if my dignity was a prize that you were dead set on winning. I've never felt more betrayed or less human.

4 You couldn't resist leaving me gaslit. You couldn't stop dousing gasoline on the fires that you yourself lit.

You would do or say something horrible, then immediately deny that it happened.

My brain was as stretched taut as a band of elastic. I've never in my life come so close to snapping.

Forgive me,my love

Writing is the palette,I've chosen to express the depths of my love for you.Though you may not see the colours of this language now,I am preserving it very safely for you.I pray,I hope and I know that your heart beats in harmony with mine when we meet.Some day you'll know that every line was painted with you in my mind in a thousand shades and when you read let my words colour you with the warmth of my love, envelope you in a safe haven where you can always find peace and gift you a portrait of love,laughter,happy tears and joy

Clownfish: A Dive into Trust and Heartbreak

I dove head first into your sea,

not knowing if you would ever catch me.

The sand was filled with broken glass and debris,

but your waves were calling out to me.

I couldn’t help myself but to jump right in.

No life vest and I didn’t know if I could swim.

I sank to the bottom but it felt so good,

submerged in your world - I never understood.

I trusted so blindly that you would catch me,

instead you watched me drown.

Blood dripping from my feet,

my lungs filled with water—

as I screamed for you to save me.

She fell in love with

his fire

but dampened it with

her ire

She fell in love with

him so bold

but her desire for control

turned him cold

She fell in love with

his passion

but soon his heart went

out of fashion

She fell in love with

their future

but it seems it was

all just conjecture

She fell in love with

his very self

but lost it when she insisted

he be somebody else
