private grief

hard to explain

so I don't speak

I grieve in private

I take deep breaths

hold it in

let it out

late at night

alone

patience

seams are splitting
faster than I can mend
no time for sorrow today
no time

perhaps I stepped forward
onto thin air

perhaps I am not strong
simply weathered
touched by grief

perhaps I am just a girl
enslaved

wanting old habits
wanting to run away

perhaps we are all running
if we could only just hold on
hold until storms pass

patience in pain

It's all your fault.

an apprehensive smile
was pulled from my lips
while walking out of the grocer

komm fuell mein leer haus

Pull out the poetry
unravel me line by line
in quiet honest moments
I think quiet honest thoughts

scolded

greedy

patience girl

you only get one

The Nature of Things

Love doesn't go
it evolves
it stays
it grows
Love doesn't go
it works its way in
quietly
passively
unexpectedly

thankfully

Bottom

I can see rock bottom from here
and all I want is to be able to enjoy
all the good things I've got
