Welcome to my creative space
I don’t blame you, I blame me, For fantasising about tomorrow, In a relationship that didn’t deserve to see today. For dreaming about what could be, Convincing myself that drunken words came straight from the soul, Knowing full well that nothing strengthened my lies like liquor, And my creativity reached its peak after a drag …
It’s easy to forget, With the wind in your hair And the unfamiliar taste of beer. With music and laughter and vibes, It’s easy to forget your fears, The reason your soul cries, And bleeds and hurts. It’s the alcohol telling you lies Like you’ll be okay, Because it was never that deep. But you …
I close my eyes so my body can feel, Shut my heart so my mind can process, Bitter truths my stomach cannot digest. If this wasn’t me, it would be someone else, Somewhere else, maybe something else. So I draw the blinds shut and kill the switches, It’s impossible to think while engulfing all these …
While I hold my half empty bottle of sweet smelling red wine, I look at you in dismay, Because, you don’t love me, You just love the way that my hips sway, And twist and turn. Knowing it doesn’t matter how far I drift, I would always return, To a place of convenience. And once …
We’re millennials remember? No strings attached. Just an air of attraction, Etching us in. Pulling us closer, until we’re skin to skin, Chest to chest. Whatever this is, I feel it within. You’ll hold me in your arms, And I’ll never say, That everyday is a good day, As long as you’re on my mind. …
You transformed me into a storehouse, For the love you so generously bathed me in. The support and care, On the days I was unaware, Of the greatness planted within. You fed me, constantly, With the positivity my soul was deprived of, The encouragement my spirit longed for. A little at a time but the …
I don’t want to write Or sing or read Don’t want to create Yet another piece or poetry. Not one of love Or lust or affection Not while I crave Your undivided attention. I don’t want to feel Or long for or need Temporary moment of comfort A blessing and a curse indeed. A.
You've forgotten how to be strong and I've been there, I've been here, I've been everywhere in between strong and weak, Victory and defeat, The will to live and a deep longing for death to open up her arms and embrace me. So I understand, The sudden rush of emotions. You’re not sad, you’re just …
You make me smile and laugh and roll my eyes in attempt to hide my affection, Hide my excitement, Conceal the fact that you make me feel beautiful, brilliant, deserving of attention. With you, I experience unfamiliar emotions; Effervescence, comfort, the list goes on. In the absence of your presence, a sense of nostalgia, My …
You’ve always been up and down, In and out. Like consistency was an abomination. Reminding me that being here was not an obligation, And depending on you could only occur in my wildest imagination. You sway side to side, Back and forth. Like temporality was already implied. From the beginning it was obvious you tried, …
