She won’t walk away
Because the love was lost
She’ll run when
She finally loses herself

Maybe
Maybe your words weren’t meaningless
Maybe the feelings behind them were just
Unsustainable, temporary, fleeting…
And for sure no longer existent.
Maybe I misinterpreted your beautiful words
Maybe you were merely generalizing
Nonetheless, I was all in.
But maybe it was just me.
Electricity
Our chemistry was palpable
But even with all there was between us
We still didn’t have enough together
We just couldn’t seem to connect
It was like the electricity both
drew us together and kept us apart.
Home
I’ve been unfair to you.
As a young girl I yearned to create
a home completely opposite of
the one that broke me.
You didn’t know I was
searching for home in you.
And I didn’t give you a chance
To build the foundation,
Or even lay the bricks.
I just expected you to already be
the home only I knew I needed.
I know
I know I’ll be OK without you
But my prayer is to be great with you
If only you’d try as much as I do
Now I’m stuck trying to decide
Should I settle for just OK with you
Or leave and be great without you
Firefly
I am like the firefly you see
shining beauty into the night.
Come, its ok to follow…
Let me lead you to your dreams.
When I begin to fly in circles
Its you I’ll look to for direction
So keep it slow and steady.
I am like the firefly you see
Luring you to stop & admire my glow.
But please don’t try to capture me
Don’t put me in that jar you hold
How will explore our world?
The few breaths I am to catch
within the holes you’ve proffered,
May keep me alive but will I be living?
I am like the firefly you see
Shining beauty through your dark nights
Leading you whimsically to your dreams
Love, cherish and value me but keep me free
You
The butterflies in my stomach seem drunk.
Fluttering about in different directions.
But amongst the chaos I still feel a sense of
peace and calm when I’m with you.
