Stolen Peace

I couldn't think
My mind wouldn't settle
You spoke every given thought
Your personality so loud
So evasive
It didn't leave room
For mine

And I understand
You shouldn't have to compromise
To accommodate me
I wasn't asking you to be less
Or become smaller
I was asking you 
To make space for both of us.

Worried

 


While he was asleep
Every breath was ragged and swollen
It seemed his dreams
Were competing with life.

I liked your face

I was drawn to your eyes

Because they were kind and soft

We talked about our days

Our first kiss was quick and light

Barely a whisper

Before you turned and walked away

The sparks came later
When I thought about it in the dark

Like A Bug

I don't think you did it on purpose
But you crushed me
And for the first time
I thought about all the bugs
I'd squashed 
Never giving them a second thought
Just knowing I had to get rid of them

That's when I realized
You were afraid of me
Afraid of how I made you feel
Afraid that we were so far into this thing
You wouldn't be able to find your way out
And it wasn't that you didn't care about me
You just cared about yourself more.

Love Anyway

I feel all broken today
I want to hide away
Where no one can reach me
Where I'll be safe
But then you told me I should meet with you 
And I felt a little less broken

"Don’t be afraid to fall in love
It’s the only thing that matters in life
The only thing – do you understand what I’m telling you
You just fall in love with as many things as possible."
Kelly Cantor – Country Strong

    

History

 















You and I missed a chance
Surely we wouldn't do that again.

Blue Sea Cafe

 

My brother’s café

Looks out over the sea

It makes my whole body ache

In a slow throb

That hurts and haunts in an exquisite way

I miss it even when I’m there

Because I know I’ll have to leave.
