When: a poem


Do you know the day I knew?
Conflicted for weeks,
Thinking I was naive.
But as I stared down at that dirt,
Hand in yours,
Tears streaming down your face,
I knew.
You tried to keep it together
And I held you closer,
Letting you know you are allowed
To be broken with me.
That is the day I knew
I loved you.

not looking: a poem

Would you like to know when I love you the most? When you don’t even know I’m looking. When you don’t know I’m looking, I can see your mind working silently. It’s a beautiful picture. Though you are still, it’s as if I could see your thoughts moving, swirling, busy. Your eyes searching and alive, it’s captivating to watch. When you don’t know I’m looking, I can see you feel the music you play. Nothing compares to times like that. Your brows furrow, just barely, singing the lyrics and eyes close, being part of the moment. Your voice fills the room with sound that calms me and strumming that fills my heart.

Closure: a poem

Rarely a day goes by that I don’t think of us And I know that sounds melodramatic But I’m just a communication fanatic Finding myself with a lack of closure I know we had that day on the bench With our goodbye kiss And I’m not looking for bliss But it looks like you couldn’t give a shit Anymore I talk to my therapist about my problem with loss But maybe my problem with us Is you. I don’t want to throw blame But every time I try to make it okay You want to walk away But wait There was no closure I’m not done And then comes the irritation Acting like I’m some sort of irregulation I’m not trying to have an interrogation I JUST WANT TO TALK No reply. Maybe that’s why I can’t move on. I know we can’t be the same And I don’t want to go back because I was severely depressed Tired of sex The picture of a wreck But what did I do to you for you to treat me like this When I broke your heart I broke mine as well Rarely a day goes by that I don’t think of us ...

Grow: a poem

Though I miss you something terrible, I know my choice wasn’t a mistake Because I’ve found myself in your absence And that is something I had to do on my own. I thought myself so independent, Never reliant, But looking back, We were so dependent. I’m not preposing you can’t grow with someone, But instead of having our own vines to intertwine, We bloomed together. Now I’ve bloomed on my own And love the life I’ve built myself. It’s not perfect, No garden ever is, But I’ve grown so far and the progress is all of my own. Yet with all the new, I still yearn for you. I wouldn’t take it all back, Not at all, But I hope maybe one day we’ll grow together, Again.
