Silver linings

Three months is too long

to hold onto hope,

But here I am clutching it in my fist

like it's my very will to live. 

 

I need to set it free,

I'll watch it fly across the sky,

Wings soaring high

like the love we never shared. 

 

And if I need to get some closure,

The hope will still be there,

Because hope can never leave

even if you've set it free. 

 

I'll hold onto those silver linings

like I've done my entire life,

Something new might be blooming,

And maybe this hope won't die.

    I’ve always wondered

    What it’s like to be myself

    Openly and honest

    And not hiding behind bookshelves

    Waiting for someone to see

    And let me into their heart.

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
     

  • See you, brother

    I don't think you're a waste of space,

    I'll give you my room and my pillow

    As long as you make the bed afterwards,

    And close the windows to keep the rain out. 

     

    I don't think your not enough,
