Broken With Blue

It’s been three years since we’ve spoken and I still think of youDid you plug the hole in your heart? Did you get rid of your blue?  So much around me has changed I have grown, old ways are gonebut my question remains (as ever) – are you still hiding your pain in song? Bewitched with curiosity you created incredibleContinueContinue reading “Broken With Blue”

Lovers Can Change (with audio)

Each ignored momentevery emotional brush-offputs more distance between us Your empty thrusts in the night do nothing to fill the void you’re leaving inside me Your lack of love is closing my legs Your minimal effort is breaking my heart  You’d better stop ignoring this –  Lovers can change to Othersand you’re starting to change me I don’t know about you, butContinueContinue reading “Lovers Can Change (with audio)”

The Faucet Has Run Dry (with audio) 

Photo by ehsan hasani on Pexels.com The light has burnt out the faucet has run dry  Deflated we talk chalking up a tally of our failures I didn’t do this You forgot that I didn’t acknowledge your wins You forgot to love me It appears resentment is stored in the same compartment as affection and the heart becomes hardened in the faceContinueContinue reading “The Faucet Has Run Dry (with audio) “

Words

Where have all my words gone?  Did you take them when you left and took flight –  packed up in your witty conversation  along with days kissing naked in bed? I’m unable to write our poetry the emotions were stolen that night –  there’s no use in scripting old promises that will no longer be cherished or read The words, they’veContinueContinue reading “Words”

Untitled Poem (from 1999)

I’ve been writing poetry since I was a kid. Most of them are terrible, however I thought I’d share a few I recently stumbled across from my teens. I’ve refrained from making edits to honour my younger self and how she expressed her thoughts all those years ago. Image found here on Pinterest Everything youContinueContinue reading “Untitled Poem (from 1999)”

A New Love Story (Villanelle)

I don’t want to live my life in purgatory The time has come for me to move on I’m looking for a new love story Our relationship is in dangerous territory Mistrust and insecurity have started to spawn, I don’t want to live my life in purgatory Our life together is a sad inventory And now with the battle lines drawn I’mContinueContinue reading “A New Love Story (Villanelle)”
