The Better Choice

They say you deserve better
Then walk away
They make the choice for you
Like it’s theirs to make

They make you smile
Then ask you to stop
They created memories
That can’t be forgotten

They say they’re damaged
But you were too
You can’t help caring
Or telling the truth

Your heart is big
But vulnerable
Your best feature
Is what hurts you the most

They same time heals
But you’re still waiting
But not for that –
For his heart to change

They say you deserve better
Then walk away
But your better is him
And you wish he’d choose to stay.

When Life Gives You Lemons

This isn’t holding on
This isn’t letting go
It’s lingering in a place
Of nothing but unknowns

It’s not a place of healing
Or a place of pain
There aren’t conversations
Of all the ‘could-have-beens’

The sun doesn’t live here
But neither does the moon
It’s not a place for love
Or those we’ve lost too soon

No colors painted on the wall
There aren’t any exits
There’s no laughter in the background
All you hear is silence

It’s not a place for sorrow
There aren’t any memories
This place where I’ve been living –
They call it ‘Empty’.

Loose Strings

I’ve been struggling for words recently
I keep praying they’ll come back to me
Making thoughts become words is like putting air in my lungs
Without it I unravel, my sanity is gone.

Perception Is Reality

The way he viewed her
Became the way she viewed herself
He called her beautiful and she believed it
She misses that the most.

Broken Links 

Pinky promises
Meant the world to me
You’d kiss your hand
After linking our pinkies

And I always said
No takebacksies
If you leave
No second chances

But I’d let you back in
If you wanted me
I’d break my rules
Like you broke those links.
