you became a home when i couldnt find one.
you became a friend when i had none.
you became a parent when mine left.
you became a mentor when i had no one to guide me.
empty emotions
fuel the deep devotions of yesterday
nothing fulfilling
no true feelings
there was nothing in between
nothing breathing
lifeless ill intended words
that feel like promises
only fueled what made you die

You were never supposed to be a guest star.



Let's try something new

You tell me pretty things

You wish me good morning and a happy afternoon

Let's try something new

Where I feel valued

And not just used
You were the only thing I knew when the night grew dark,
Now you're the only thing I don't recognise on the brightest of days...
a word
the world of wonder's secret
I will never get apologizes for the words that have left your mouth.
I will never get to erase the trauma you inflicted.
I will never get the relationship I longed for.
The love I so desired.
Today I’m reclaiming my life and everything you stole from me.
Etch an eye between my brows
So that I may see further into
Deeper within the whirling vortex
Of abyss cooing to me softly

Gentle requests that I not
Drop my pebble down the well
A splash will never echo back
And I'll fall until time is decimated

Not that I'm entirely dedicated
To keeping things linear
But the universe has been strange
And I'm a good listener

if mother earth never gave me the sea or sand
i would've never collected seashells or dive into the waves to swim with mermaids and talk to the fish
i would've never built tall castles or leave my memories in small handprints that would soon be washed by the salty water
if mother earth never gave me the ground
i would've never taken my first steps or my first fall
i would've never made mud pies or cut the flowers from the garden to make head crowns
if mother earth never gave me the sky
i would've never danced on the clouds, or cried under the rain
the sun would've never given me light, and the moon wouldn't be a comfort
i never would've collected stars, or put them on my ceiling when i was afraid of the dark
if mother earth never gave,
there would be no childhood,
no love,
no life
