here I am
inside these walls
baring my soul
with poetic oxygen
stripped down
for all to see
the depths
of my entirety
my self-portrait
splattered across these
ink-stained pages
unveiled
by my pen
for all to read
here I am
inside these walls
baring my soul
with poetic oxygen
stripped down
for all to see
the depths
of my entirety
my self-portrait
splattered across these
ink-stained pages
unveiled
by my pen
for all to read
A million
little diamonds
sparkle
in the night’s sky
lying here
underneath them
with you
by my side
we dream
a thousand dreams
before we even
close our eyes
beneath
our starlit sky
we’ll dream
a thousand more
before
the twinkle fades
close our eyes
and make a wish
upon our shooting star
and
just for tonight
know we really aren’t
that far
hush now
my love
for a million ones
shine
just for us
the words
fall
one by one
from your lips
still drunk
from the lust
of the night
feeling the darkness
as we lay
in silence
the sound
of the clock
fills our being
tick
tock
every second
falling further
our dreams
we whispered
to the universe
sharing the secrets
that we hide
from others
until the sun
wakes up the rest
of the world
between the sighs
the inhales
and exhales
we always
find our way
back to each other
sometimes goodbyes
are all we have
when in life
love will never be
as we want
I think
of all the moments
that had to align
to bring us here
to one another
it’s in these
beautiful moments
that I wish
I could stop time
just to even have
one more second
with you
the shadows rest
in the colors
of the walls
hidden in secrets
that keep me bound
I listen as silence
fills my lungs
waiting for time
to softly whisper
and fill my flesh
with memories
you fit perfectly
inside the spaces
of my soul
embroidered so neatly
into the story
of my life
Oh I would
love to live
inside those moments
after kissing you
where time
is quietly trapped
in the seconds between
dream and reality
where thoughts
are nothing more
or less
than what you believe
and everything
just feels infinite
and beautiful
Wow! My own space here for 12 years. 12 incredible years here! Holy fuck! Met some incredible people, including my best friend Christopher. Thank you for your true friendship, it’s been such an honor to even know you. You’re just such a beautiful human and more of what this world needs. Honestly, there are many here who I consider to be great friends and to know them outside of WP has been such a fulfilling thing in my life. I love you guys, I mean that.
I’ve lost a lot here too. Not just in the blog world but in my own, some are just more devastating than others in many ways. I’ve cried too many times, laughed, loved so much, grown up here really. Life has been hard, it’s been wonderful, heartbreaking, incredible, trying and fun, but I’m still here. Writing along. Thanks for being on this journey with me. I hope to be here another 12 with you all.
Thank you all for being on this journey with me. A journey I started a long time ago and hope to continue to share a part of my soul with you all. Much love!

her eyes struggle
to open
as the sun
peeks though
the broken window
memories haunt her
to her core
but the scars
she still wears
behind glass doors
this little girl
still trapped between
these paper walls
where her secrets
still live
