All Good Things
Be grateful. For the breath that fills your lungs, for the silence that cradles your thoughts, for the gift of this moment – unpaid, unpromised, but yours entirely.

Time
Hair rose at the back of my neck as I wrote, as if time itself ran its fingers along my spine, reminding me of what I could not outrun. The ticking, louder now, echoed in the quiet, each beat a hammer, each second a pulse I couldn’t ignore.

The Hardest Night
I’m sorry, forgive me – these words feel too small for the space between us, but they are all I have. I love you, and with trembling hands, I give you back to the universe, with all the love, all the gratitude I can gather in this broken heart.

Where Yesterday Rests
We only ever move forward, step by step, leaving behind what was – not in regret, but with a gentle nod, as the sun tips over the edge of the world, stretching shadows that grow long, then fade.

Your Energy Shifts
It boggles my mind, how effortlessly he enters your space, how your laughter fades, just enough for me to notice. You think I do not sense it, the way your words twist and reshape themselves around him, like you are building a different world when he is near, one I cannot quite reach.

The Other Man
Yet every day, he takes what should be mine, his presence invisible, but felt in every word, every glance, and I am left here, waiting in the silence for the pieces of you that he hasn’t yet claimed.

You Returned
Forgive me for loving you so fiercely, for binding myself to the image of you that once danced in my dreams. But know this: you can wager on the stars, bet on the turning of the heavens – this heart will not open its door again. No, not for you.

Angry Wind
I feel its rage resonate with mine, a shared tempest beneath my skin, where the calm was never meant to stay.

Until You Decided It Wasn’t
Loss settled in my bones, a weight I carried with each breath, each step a reminder of the spaces you no longer filled, each day a struggle to find meaning in the void.
