• Conflict

  

  In the quiet echoes of my heart,
  A ghostly presence takes its part.
  Once a flame, now a wisp of smoke,
  In his essence, I willingly soak.
  
  A love so deep, it carved a mark,
  Blinding me to the world so stark.
  He was the storm, the calm, the hue,
  A rarity, like morning dew.
  
  We danced in love's fervent embrace,
  Lost in time, in its endless space.
  But time, it shifts, and so do we,
  From who we were, to who we'll be.
  
  Now I stand amidst love's debris,
  Holding on to a memory.
  A battle rages, fierce and wild,
  Between what was and what's beguiled.
  
  Yet, no regrets shall stain my soul,
  For loving him made me whole.
  In the love that once set me free,
  I find the strength to let it be.

• Forever

  I don’t want to see you.

  I don’t wish you harm.

  I thought we were going to be forever because that’s what my heart desired was my forever, but you just became a moment in time.

  A moment in time pushed me to learn survival skills and learn about who I was and who I did not want to be.

  I was trying to be everything, and I was failing myself in the process. Failure is not someone I’m used to being because of put so much pressure on myself to be perfect.

  The pressure of being perfect made my forever impossible because I had no idea that you didn’t want perfect you just wanted me. In all honesty, I had no clue how to give you all of me when I had no idea who I was and what I expected from me to give to you. 

  My forever
