there were so many times
I held my words back
thinking maybe
they would matter to you
thinking you’d hear them and understand
but you never did
now all I have
are the words I never said
the things I thought
might change your mind
but you never cared enough to listen
I wish I had said more
not to win your attention
but to free myself from the silence
maybe then
I would have realized sooner
that it wasn’t my words you needed
it was your own willingness to listen

House of secrets
in the house of secrets
silence was its own language
the walls whispered stories
only shadows understood
and every locked door
guarded a piece of someone
you’d never fully know
we grew up there
speaking in half-truths
and learning to walk lightly
love was there
though it wore a mask
soft enough to hold you
but always just out of reach
by the time we left
we carried the secrets with us
stitched into our skin like old scars
we never spoke of them
but in every glance
we knew

Bloom
A single flower blooms
its petals soft as whispers
catching the light like a secret
kept between the earth and sky
I’m gone
when I’m gone
you’ll find traces of me
in quiet moments
whispers in the wind
echoes in a familiar laugh
i’ll live in the spaces between your thoughts
a shadow that softens with time
yet in the stillness
you’ll remember
I was once here
and though the world moves on
I will remain
a flicker in your heart
Still Unwritten
thoughts settle onto the page
whispers of ink on white
some linger etched deep
while others fade like ghostly shadows
too delicate to hold
they drift and scatter
sometimes in lines
sometimes like fallen leaves
each one a fleeting spark
that for a moment
catches light
Waiting
I sit by the window
watching shadows stretch
across the floor
the street is empty
the air still
and time slips away
each minute a soft reminder
that I wait for you
but you never arrive
the world outside carries on
but here I remain
hoping against the silence
Pieces of you
the air still carries your name
though your voice is long gone
I find pieces of you in the quiet
reflections in sunlight
echoes in the breeze
I smile
and gather them all
trying to hold them close
before they slip away
love lingers
but it can’t stay
and yet
I will remember it
always
Happy Thanksgiving
No matter how you’re spending your day, whether you’re surrounded by loved ones, enjoying a quiet moment, or volunteering to help others.
Thanksgiving offers a chance to be present and thankful. It’s a chance to give back, spread kindness, and embrace the love that unites us all.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the things we often take for granted. From the food on our tables to the roof over our heads, we have so much to be thankful for. Let this holiday inspire us to spread gratitude not just today but every day.
Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with peace, joy, and gratitude. May this day remind us all of the importance of cherishing each moment, sharing with others, and always finding something to be thankful for.
Enjoy every bite, every laugh, and every precious moment with those you love. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Jennifer ❤️
In dreams
I dream in the sound of your voice
each word echoes softly
a ripple across
the still waters of my mind
your laughter
threads through the silence
stitching together fragments
of forgotten melodies
even in the quiet
when the world is still
your voice hums like a distant lullaby
a compass guiding me home
in dreams
it becomes the wind
endless and eternal
calling me back to you
