Ghost

You haunt my dreams, my waking hours, and my moments of peace
Finding your way into my words
My heart, my soul
I have no control
Your memory has a hold on me
Always there in spirit
But never reality
The ghost that lingers
Whispering in the wind
All that might have been

Follow the Light 💫

She held the torch for far too long

Burning her own hands

She waited for eternity

Lighting the way in the dark

Hoping he would follow the flame

Finally, she set it down & put it out

Turning away from the pain

She noticed a star that shined just for her

And walked toward it

Final Goodbye

I crashed back into your life

Broken and vulnerable

Expecting you to pick up my pieces

Knowing you never could

You held me together

Until it was too much for you

I felt you start to back away

But we both knew you couldn’t stay

I am the fuel for your fire

Luring you in with temptation and desire

But filling you with guilt

I hear the words you don’t say

And fall apart

Your silence echos inside my mind

My anger couldn’t be contained

I blew the bridge up in a fit of rage

Destroying everything completely

Because coming back never ends well for me

False Fantasy

Captured by your masquerade
My heart went willingly into your cave
Beautiful lies setting my soul ablaze

Dreams turned to nightmares
As the mask fell away
Losing control
You knew you couldn’t stay

Left alone in the wreckage
I finally see the reality

Facade

You pulled me into your web

Masquerading as the twin to my flame

Capturing me by singing my praises

Your words touched my soul

And made me feel whole

Like a puppet master you twisted my heart strings

Pushing me to do things I’d never do

You lit me on fire with desire

Igniting reactions to watch me burn

Built me up just to watch me fall

Knowing it was never real is the hardest thing of all

Wildflower

He shoved her in a hole
And covered her with mud
Attempting to bury her
By snuffing out her light
Never realizing she’s the type
That blooms the best in the dark

Unexpected

You crept into my darkness
Shining your light
Sparking something deep inside

Words making me smile
Like a flower, I begin to bloom

Thoughts of you consume my mind
Breathing life into me
A little at a time

You fill up my empty spaces
With your kind affirmations

Maybe My Intuition is Wrong

When I’m in that quiet space
Away from the rest of the world
And my mind is calm and clear

That’s when you appear
My soul whispers in my ear
Nudging me towards you

But you’re just out of reach
And the thread I’m holding onto
unravels more and more each day

Never Again

Enough, she whispered
Holding her head high
Staring at the broken girl in the mirror
Vowing to never feel that way again
She knew it was finally time to walk away

Crazy Love

I crave your touch
tremble with desire and
yearn for the fire of your kiss

I’m addicted and I can’t get enough
Desperate for the way you watch me say your name

You’ve invaded every part of me
Consumed my thoughts
Conquered me, and made me yours
