A pause
That’s what I need
But time won’t let me have it
A moment
Is what I starve for
With just me and you
A second
Is what I beg for
To get lost in the emotions
A minute
That’s what I plead for
To forget losing you

Regaining Lost Aspects: Mind and Soul
Through book events, poetry, and creativity, we dive a little deeper into humanity.

A pause
That’s what I need
But time won’t let me have it
A moment
Is what I starve for
With just me and you
A second
Is what I beg for
To get lost in the emotions
A minute
That’s what I plead for
To forget losing you

Carve me a smile
With the tilt of your eyes
Glistening wetness
Tears rain and glide
Blissfully broken
Your glee starts to seep
Face lost and broken
Sobs turn to weeps

Lost
Broken
In darkness all night
But in darkness there’s power
True strength will rise
You’ll burn like a Phoenix
Soar and blaze all your dreams
You’ll empower your hour
And reach all your means

Some days are just steep in emotions
Some days are just raw
And some days are constellations of micro-stresses forming with no end

The weight of your goodbye lingers. Like gravity it shoves me down into a worthless hole feeling like I may never rise again. Crude, raw, and deafening your words were spoken. A broken lullaby to curse me for life.

If I had you
I could consult you for a dream
You could teach me lessons
Make my whole self me
We could discuss my shaky future
And make all my goals come true
We could work together
If only I had you

Shame is on the tip of your tongue
Your deep-seeded hatred for me
To think we use to be as close as neighbors
Until you made me nothing to see

Will the inscape of my poetry
Foreshadow my doom
Will it lay the groundwork for me
Intentions in a cradled moon
Or is it visions of my trauma
My past that lit fire after night
The things that built me lonely
Past and Future surely blight

Retrograde with me
So we can go back and pick the primrose
The first flower to ever bloom

What drew you to me?
Was it my innocence?
Did it radiate to you?
Could you tell I was a victim,
Because I didn’t have a clue?
Couldn’t avoid you
or notice your predator eyes.
Couldn’t deny you
or sift through what I didn’t know were lies.
I let you have me
and take me
to the worst parts of you.
I let you use me
and break me
because I didn’t have a clue.
