Their eyes were mirrors
reflecting recognition
two flames, one soul
an unbreakable bond
a magnetic connection
attracting and repelling
eternal love given but denied
one runs, the other chases
a dance they know by heart
until the music stops
and the tie must be severed

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
