You looked into me with such an intense kindness, with a blinding willingness to know all that needed to be known and I knew. At that moment I knew, no matter what I did, no matter the words that spilled from my mouth or the feelings that pounded from my heart. No matter what, you were going to be crushed. And I was going to get what I deserved. I was going to be completely, hopelessly alone. #wordsandnature #words #literary_imagery #literary_original #poetryloving #poetry_addicts #branchobsession #treelove #treeline #amwriting #prose #lunchbreakpicturetake

I see you searching, A look of longing, with a tinge of desperation Causing me to wonder what happened to your hope, Is it hiding, too timid to show it's face Or Has it been taken from you? Know there is always a way back, Know you are never entirely aimless. Take a breathe, grab me with all your might, Allow me to offer you comfort, Believe that I am safe, Know if I could, if you choose, Know that I would be home for you. #sunlove #branchobsession #prose #poetryloving #poetry_addicts #literary_imagery #literary_original #words #wordsandnature #naturelove #nakedbranches

It seems like whenever I would look forward to something or time with someone, there would be this tiny place in my brain counting down the seconds until the end. Always knowing it was coming, never fully appreciating the present. But with you, it's the moment, it's the connection. With you time stops, no ticking or tocking of the clock, no alarms sounding. With you, it's just you and it's just me. #branchobsession #randombranchiness #prose #poetry_addicts #poetryloving #iceicebaby #treesinmyyard

I save all my might to reach for you. #branchobsession #micropoetry #literary_original #literary_imagery #treelove #inmyyard

It really would make the most sense for me to stop. To stop wishing you would wish for me, to stop hoping for our paths to cross, to stop thinking about how my name sounds coming out of your mouth. But honestly, what would be the harm in you longing for me just a little, in an accidental encounter, in you whispering my name. What good is sense if it leaves my heart lonely, my mind tame. What good is sense if it separates all of me from all of you. #prose #branchobsession #treelove #amwriting #literary_imagery #literary_original #poetryloving #nightlife #retroluxers

I am hollow. Not wounded, busted, or broken. Emptiness grows to the point of feeling almost nothing. #nightlife #branchobsession #prose #amwriting #poetryloving #literary_imagery #literary_original

I don't ever think I will believe that I have done enough for you. For you, there is always more. #literary_imagery #literary_original #prose #treeline #branchobsession

We are in this. You and me. Together Because of this, oh, how we grow. Sharing in our sorrow, relinquishing perceived control, understanding needs, dreaming dreams, forever bonding over our love for the human condition. These efforts, this care, cause our roots to plunge deeper, our hearts pound with greater conviction, our willingness to love no longer clings to limitations. And in this, we flourish, not necessarily in circumstance or situation but in our inner most being. In the end, and this is where that certainty matters, if I was tragically ripped from my roots, you would be unearthed as well. We are in this. Truly, we are in this together.

I seek absolution from you. Wishing forgiveness was offered without expectation, knowing how unrealistic that is. Begging for the freshest start, the brightest beginning, the cleanest slate. With you having full disclosure that my flaws, my shortcomings are bound to get in the way of my intention to care deeply. I realize this probably doesn't matter, because right now you are in the clear, practically flawless but I would offer this to you, when needed, at least once. Probably more. You are worth a little hurt and heartache. You seem to matter a great deal to me. And I may have realized that too late. But if not, if there is still the slightest crack in the proverbial window of opportunity, please tell me, "it will be okay", please accept my sorry, please see the truth of the condition my heart. #prose #amwriting #literary_imagery #literary_original #branchobsession #inmybackyard

I really do grow weary of begging for your affections. Until, until you give them, until I have them in my small hands with the tightest grip. And then, in that moment, there I go. Pouring all of me into all of you. But it ends, it always ends. Such a temporary fix for a heart that is capable, that longs for more. #branchobsession #amwriting #prose #literary_imagery #literary_original

You are magic to me. The line that exists between what I know and what I hope for, what I dream of; you have blurred it, making it effortless to cross. Causing the self created walls in my heart to crumble, now knowing that the risk to believe is worth it. On the other side of that risk, after crossing that line, what waits for you and me? More than ever, only with you, I am willing to find out. #prose #sunlove #branchobsession #literary_original #literary_imagery

Oh, you are on my mind. Ideas about you dwell and linger, grow and consume. I've decided I need to shake you out, shake you out of my head and into my hands. I need you so close that when you whisper to me softly, I will breathe your words into my lungs and let them echo inside of me. Will you? Will you stop being just be an idea? Will you come to me? Get out of my head and take up my space. Shake me up. #prose #nightlife #amwriting #branchobsession #treesinmyyard

Each time, it's harder to pick up the pieces. I fall. I open my chest and give away my heart. Then it's just such a mess, my heart broken, scattered, shattered all over the place. Is it possible to pick up each and every piece? Or do I lose little bits of myself? It seems my eye is not as sharp, my fingers are not as delicate when I put myself back together. I am worried that there is less of me to give, less of me to love. #treelove #branchobsession #randombranchiness #snapseed #amwriting #prose #rainyday

My mind races. Overwhelmed by to do lists, expectations, silly obsessions, flights of fancy. All of this swirling, whirling around in my head. Not allowing much room for quiet, not granting space for peace. Until I am next to you. The world falls to the wayside. My mind becomes quiet and still. You are my calm. You remind me of the sun setting, of life settling, of the perfect place between wake and sleep. In your arms, you offer me rest. Without a word, you create space for peace. #branchobsession #randombranchiness #retroluxers #dayending #prose #literary_imagery #literary_original #naturelove

This chill in the air, it has crept into my bones. I shake and shiver, shiver and shake. The wood blazing in the fireplace, the extra layers; none of these practicalities offer comfort. I may just need more than that. The only thing that will shake the winter from the air, the shiver from my spine, it's you. Come get close, come share your warmth, come for me. #branchobsession #treelove #naturelove #prose #literary_imagery #literary_original #lovinggloom #randombranchiness #retroluxers

Possessing an authentic willingness for growth is no simple feat. It is much easier to build a wall, craft a facade, to live for frivolity. You do this. You have this willingness, it isn't automatic or natural. It is a path chosen, with purpose. The peace that comes from honesty is at your fingertips, grab it and cling to it with all your might. And, as you grow, allow for your kind heart to be nourished by hope. This willingness causes you to shine brightly. And in the light are exposed. I can see your pain, your love, your shortcomings: the truth of all you are. And in this, because of this know you are beautiful. #prose #literary_imagery #literary_original #amwriting #friendlove #happybirthday #branchobsession #bluesky #retroluxers #treelove #naturelove
