Unalike

  We’re not the same person. We don’t share one brain. I don’t have to follow your ideals. You don’t have to accept my beliefs. We can agree to disagree And still be cordial.

After All This Time

She wasn’t going to come She knew he’d be there The man that got down on one knee and asked Her to be with him from now to eternity After all those months had passed he looked the same Intelligence and desire Made of muscle and bone The churn of her stomach The fire upon…

Love of One

Don’t try to fulfill the measurements Of someone else’s mold Be enough for yourself Be true to you Be honest with you Love you Cherish you Honor yourself before anyone else

Calm

It was the gentle breeze coasting over the meadow Faintly brushing across the delicate petals of a daffodil A subtle wind blew through the atmosphere Shifting the easy dynamic of their simple love It was the chill raising the hairs on the back of Eden’s neck Simon held her hand loosely, dangling at his side He…

Unspoken

Foe

Don’t twist the key Don’t pop the lock Don’t let her in Don’t linger in her doubt Don’t listen to her venomous words Don’t trust her rantings She’s not your friend She’s up to no good You can’t be you If you’re playing with her She’ll pull you down Drown you in her lake of…
