On this day five years ago I was with you. It’s hard to believe but it’s true. Taking all I have building it back up and walking away. No longer begging to be seen, I have all I need. Do you not think this is real? You’ll never know how I feel, Maybe I’ll see…

Her
Maybe it’s time to write your own story One of glory, Feet in the sand, living off the land. Pushing through these obstacles and nightmares, it doesn’t matter who cares. Nothing repairs the traumas done, But I thought you were the one. Being reminded I’ve come undone, There’s nothing under the sun I haven’t tried…
Path
Came upon a path, covered in green Left unseen. Just a few weeks prior it was a clearing, now cloaked with a blanket for the upcoming summer. I’ll visit again in the fall When the leaves die off and the once abundance turns to death Sweet reminders of friendships that once were, whirling through my…

Guarded
I try not to force you from my mind Instead I ask how this thought serves, Questioning the emotions that follow, leaves parts of me hollow. Reminding myself I’m no longer shallow.

Retired
I wanted to ruin you, Never having anything to show Friend of my foe. You never know what your motives are, Losing my trust in you, Burying in this water so clear, Changing tides, you switched sides. Selfishly giving up what was fought for, I loved you more than my brother. Would have sworn there…
Disguise
Disgusted you couldn’t be trusted. No wonder you couldn’t look me in the eyes. You’re just another wolf in disguise, With tears in my eyes I had to decide. This wasn’t about my pride. Seeing these kids should make you want to be a role model, Not a figure you want to fondle. These thoughts…
