Being a woman
means battling the balance
of softness and strength.
How do you feel safe
when your captain of safety
becomes a pirate?
It's not the coffee
that wakes me up each morning.
It's the missing you.
I am tired and sad
and have no clue why I'm here.
I feel so useless.
Hope whispers through
shadows and beams of light;
our feet grounded,
and in flight.
The best intentions
disguise our heart's true desire
to live wickedly.
They were lovers of words
in a world that had all but forgotten them.
Each line, each paragraph
puzzle pieces from their hearts.
Only those who understood,
fit in the spaces where the words were not.
You say you're sorry,
but that won't work anymore.
Words are not enough.
grieving for people
you will never even know;
they left far too soon
Away the light danced,
leaving dreamers in the dark;
losing remembrance.
