At the end of my day,
the only voice I long to hear
is yours.
The only smile that can lift
my heart
with no effort at all
is yours.
I want you.
More than anything before.
More than anything else,
I wish for your happiness
and our forever.
The Hardest Goodbye
The one uttered but never heard.
The unexpected one,
that nobody saw coming.
The one that socked you in the stomach,
and left you doubled over in pain.
The one that sat in the pit of your soul, Continue reading
Hurt Locker
It smarts.
It reeks.
The quiet within the storm

It smarts.
An Unusual Occurrence

Birthday musings
A new year I am stepping into,
refreshed and hopeful,
slightly tinged with trepidation
at what these next 365 will bring…

and pressed to give him
the best of me.
Quietest birthday ever
but clearest one ever.

Ties that burn
have yet to scald him,
and he has yet to realize that
choices were made
that created
these ties that burn.
