Regaining Lost Aspects: Mind and Soul
Through book events, poetry, and creativity, we dive a little deeper into humanity.
Sickness crawls in over and over again.
A sickness too sweet.
Too thick.
A sickness deep enough to where it cracks bone.
Feral enough to where it stops hearts.
Leaves scars,
bleeds open wounds.
A sickness that beats, and beats, and beats.
Until it all stops.
Until everything stops.
And that lost love leaves you a fool.
I’m not built for you to love me. I’m built for you to appreciate me from afar.
Unglued we break
and form distant love
with connections lost to the abyss
Yes. I know despair. But I know true love and protection, too.
Lust
Betraying my own soul
For you
Livid
Giving into anger
Don’t know what more to do
Soft
The feel of my heart
When it’s sitting in your hand
Liar
What you turn me into
When you don’t let me understand
My mind is always in turmoil
Because all it wants is you
A sinking ship without any hope
A love overdue
Busy life overtakes us
Like a storm over the sea
I’m drowning trying to be with you
I just need you here with me
Love ached.
It tore.
It burned.
It took every piece of me and never gave it back.
Lost and withered,
my soul searched for something.
Anything to let it breathe.
At least one more time.
I need to feel something.
Anything.
I need to know you again.
You are my everything
From cloud cover on a burning hot day
To shelter from a devastating storm
You are my only
You are my lover
You are my happy tears
Even though I have no more love left for you,
You invade, barrelling in, creating your own
Through you, I learn I can love again
That my heart has no limit
That I can grow fonder each and every day
If treated right
Take me to places I’ve always needed to go
Stand with me against anyone who’s foe
Welcome my heart and understand all my needs
Believe in me, love for me, cherish me, please
