standing at the window
she reads their love letters
to the universe
an infinite reflection
of who she was
staring back at her
as the colors of the moon
paint a luminous mural
across the room
the thought of him
comes flooding back through her
like it was just yesterday
and the goodbye
hurts just the same
a promise once made
now
just a bitter-sweet memory
how do you let go
when all you want to do
is hold on
that’s the tragedy of life
I guess love
had other plans for us
unspoken moments
printed
ink-stained
and packed away
reminders
of a life
that use to be
where the silence
feels so loud
within the corners
of our story
and time
seems to freeze
the memories
that still remain
inside the frame
of a polaroid
with every second
that passes
I wish I could hear
the sound of your breath
as you whisper
your love to me
and feel your voice
laying gently upon
the layers of my skin
I wish you knew how deeply
you are etched
into my bones
and that every poem
that flows from my fingers
will find a way to you
in every single lifetime
this universe holds
she always remembered
the flowers
on the old window sill
how they would bloom
so beautifully all summer
and how the light
would catch them
just right
and leave her with
the memory
of his touch
as the warmth
of the sun fades
into the horizon
So, as I’m putting away all the Christmas decor today, I’m thinking of you. Thinking of all the memories we made and the love we shared. I wish I could have had you longer in life, but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m sorry you couldn’t stay.
This is the last thing you gave me before you left and it is still one of my favorite things, ever. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since you left because to me it feels like it’s been a lifetime. I hate how things feel so different now without you; nothing will ever be the same.
Until we met again, I’ll visit you in my dreams and keep you alive in the memories I carry with me.
though your body
is now free
and your soul
is at rest
I miss you
and I wish
you were here
Merry Christmas to you all who are celebrating today. I hope each and every one of you are doing well and feeling so loved today. I know this time of year is hard for a lot of us, so to all who are struggling, I’m sending you so much warmth and love today. You’ll never be alone as long as I’m here ❤
and even though
we aren’t here
to stay
I’m forever grateful
this universe
allowed our souls
to meet
so I’ll put
our memories
in glass jars
and keep them close
in the corners
of my heart
For all my ladies, all my warriors, and all my queens – this is an ode to you. Yes, YOU!
be confident
be strong
never bow down
don’t be defined by anyone
don’t allow your past to determine your path
and when someone tells you all the things “they think” you cannot be, you keep pushing forward and make it known that you cannot be stopped, you WILL NOT be stopped
let others see the fire in your skin and the crown’s power upon your head. You are bathed in sunlight for a reason. You are right here and right now for a reason. We need to be building each other up and seeing the true beauty in ourselves and others
never seek the approval of others, for it’s not needed as you already know your worth
so, all my beautiful ladies, this is for you. I believe in you, I stand with you, and I am part of you
a million possibilities
we could have been
but in the end
we are just
stardust and magic
inside this vast space
because the universe
craved you and I
