Permission.
I don’t need it. Because I don’t need you. But I want it. From you. The way I am made from you. But not made of you. I am made of something fresh, something new. From past bulbs I bloom. The way I surrendered my last drop of water. like a cactus in the desert, … Continue reading
Growing Pains
Like a cramp in the middle of the night that keeps me awake, I always half expect it. That looming pain that disrupts every part of peace when I least expect it. That’s what I thought it was like. Waiting for it to come, waiting for it to end. Waiting for the moment I stopped … Continue reading

Letters of Letting Go. #1
To the man whom I loved who wore all black, The piece of you I held on to for so long, I want you to have it back. Like the ring that once sat on my finger, and the nights i’ll never forget, It was beautiful, It was real, not a moment i’ll regret. I … Continue reading
