Kind heart
dear kind heart,
i know everything hurts
but these days will pass
life is trying to unravel you
however you have pieced yourself back together
you have scars to prove
a fresh deep wound must close on its own
do not tamper
let yourself feel the heartbreak
but do not let it mask you
because you are better than that
remember the better days
it has been a resilient storm you have dealt with
it will not be your last
but it is not your first
seek shelter
do not let the storm hinder your kind heart
you are beautiful
a mystery book
a book that remained hidden with the most gorgeous bidding that kept everything together
but not itself
you could attempt to flip each and every page attempting to read
yet it seemed to be written in a code language
the book was eventually thrown into the archives
yet i could never seem to let it go
i kept going back as i do now
just to run my fingers over that molding once more and decode the message left beneath the
cover
The man
The man I knew
was a fraud
The man I knew
was a selfish fool
The man I knew
use to give me roses and dance with me
The man I knew
loved his wife
The man I knew
would die for his family
The man I know
left us struggling
The man I know
broke my heart when he said those piercing words
The man I know
is poisoning and bitter
The man I know
left
poisonous rose
it is nearly impossible to thrive in a dry malnourished environment
so how do you live?
a poisonous flower you’ve become
you gain a petal every lie you feed
is that why you continue growing?
the thorns on your body, they cover you endlessly
is that how you go untouched?
you scare off others
beware the day
you get skinned down to your bulbs
and no longer have nothing to your name
a rose I am
A rose
if I was a rose
I would bloom beautifully
then die out
I come in stages that repeats
I bloom, I wither and I die
I come back repeat my cycle
but I am a rose
I never become extinct
I come back yet to try again and outlast the previous time
I have a fertile ground that drives me round and round
I am a rose
A beautiful rose I am
Are you?
The words you yelled at me still echo through my head
The words she fed to you that you believed with no hesitation
The years will pass before I will ever be able to look at you the same
The years will pass before the pain will go away
The pain I felt from the countless arguments she created
The pain I felt when I lost you
The decades that will pass until we will be able to ever talk the same
The decades of knowing you but I never knew what you were capable of
Until the day I die, the pain will go away
Until the day I move away and you settle in with her as we part ways completely
You
Shall remember how much I loved you dear brother of mine
You
Will miss me
As I
No longer
Need
Nor
Miss you
A forgotten book of literature
I shall be to you
32,000 feet above
There’s something about airports at 5 am
Maybe it is the thought of knowing you will be going high up
Or the silence it brings once you’re high up
As I boarded the plane
I suddenly felt all my problems fall off
The adrenaline I felt as we gained altitude was magnificent
I don’t know why I feel at home 32,000 feet above
But I do
There is nothing I would trade in the world
For stargazing so high up
That I could touch the star
What if i felt at home up there because I am a star?
Open Road
We traveled north
Yet everything we did went south
An open road with endless opportunities
Good and bad
Life could end on a open road
Or life could even bloom
On the open road traveling north
I gave you many chances
In fact I gave you all
My mistake of giving you control of the car
You hit 120
We crashed
I died
Ride
Reverse we go
Forward we went
I contemplate the past
I anticipate the future
We soon turn sharply
The seat belt locks up
I’m left with a deep bruise assumed to heal soon yet took many weeks
I fear the turns now
The road frequently taken is my path now
We part ways
You go up
I go down
I’m left with a bruise
