losing a queen.

don’t you get it yet?

her heart was not an object

to be used or broken

her heart was your best chance

at a future of devotion and joy

that heart will be

your greatest loss

her heart will always be

the very thing

you never deserved

and once you lose her

she’ll learn to survive

in a world

that no longer

consists of being hurt by you

September 1st 2018.

Any man who chooses to neglect your heart is replaceable. Any man who decides to be disloyal to you is not worthy of your devotion. Do not give weak men the license to operate in your life because you are meant for something more. You are meant for someone who is capable of giving you everything you give. I hope you find the courage to start choosing yourself rather than holding on to the person who has chosen everything else and everyone else over you. I know it’s been difficult as of late, you’re constantly battling yourself and this idea of moving forward without that person, but you’ll never know happiness until you walk away from the person who ruins your peace of mind. I believe that there is someone reading this now who really needs these words, and so I hope that person understands that the love they’ve been longing for lives within their own heart and eventually their efforts will be appreciated by someone who is strong enough to care for their heart. Be your own hero tonight; it’s time to reach for your own hand. I believe in your ability to move forward, to move on.

harshest winter.

my mother dismissed me fairly young

my shoulders cold from a chilly Georgia air

the beginnings of a homelessness

that i had always felt

due to taking up spaces in places

where i felt i didn’t belong

the wind took several shots at me

as i sat on the curb

not angry just hurt

too tired to say a word

too cold to register what had happened

the rest is all a blur

it was almost as if i blinked

and somehow there i was

18 with no home

living out of a raggedy suitcase

stuck in winter, not just the weather

but in the confines of my heart

September 7th 2018.

I wonder about you. There are nights where I can’t find sleep. There are nights where insomnia drowns out whatever opportunity I had to find rest. Those nights are the loudest, you know? Those nights creep up on me without warning, and I’m forced to lie there with a paralyzing sense of concern. I wonder about you and how you’re doing. I think about you even when you feel like the world has forgotten your name. I lie here beneath the moon, drowned out by the silence of heartache, thinking about you even when you feel as though no one cares, but I do. There are nights where my inability to find my dreams keeps me lost in the endless nightmare of caring about someone who no longer seems to care about themselves. It is in these moments where the night sky is the heaviest and the glow from the moon is enough to blind crying eyes.
