Recover

I thought I was over you,

but I was wrong.

 

I miss you,

but your feelings are gone.

 

I still love you with everything that I have,

even though I know all I will get is a cold shoulder back.

 

You used to look at me with love and admiration,

but now your eyes have turned cold and completely vacant.

 

Your arms used to be my home,

but they have become stiff and hard to hold. 

 

My heart tries to mold,

but at this point it feels like it's been swallowed, 

your keeping it in a choke-hold.

 

Suffocating in your indifference,

drowning in your kiss of absence,

I know I will never be able to recover from this.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
