Can You Love a Broken Girl?All of these shards
Haphazardly pieced back together
She looks at her reflection
And can see nothing but the cracks
Can you see her beauty…

Our Last DayIf today were the last day
I got to wake up to your smile
The last few moments
I felt the tenderness of your touch

If Only You Could SeeIf only you could feel
The way my stomach swirls
And my heart beats faster
The excitement and the calmness
The intensity and the knowing

ComeCome, drive with me
Far away from those thoughts
Come hide from the world
Wrapped tight in my arms
Breathe in the life around you
Hold true…

Cascading SorrowIt weaves in and out
Drawing tight
Cutting the flow of eternity
Small balls of hope
Trembling hands
Touching my scars

Knots of fury burrow
Tucked in tightly through swallowed words
Filthy looks and disappointment

Can You Love a Broken Girl?

All of these shards Haphazardly pieced back together She looks at her reflection And can see nothing but the cracks Can you see her beauty…

Our Last Day

If today were the last day I got to wake up to your smile The last few moments I felt the tenderness of your touch

If Only You Could See

If only you could feel The way my stomach swirls And my heart beats faster The excitement and the calmness The intensity and the knowing

Come

Come, drive with me Far away from those thoughts Come hide from the world Wrapped tight in my arms Breathe in the life around you Hold true…

Please Don’t Hurt Her

She sits in her tenderness A soft smile on her lips Watching the world with playful eyes Delight in the simple things A heart bound with…

Cascading Sorrow

It weaves in and out Drawing tight Cutting the flow of eternity Small balls of hope Trembling hands Touching my scars

Silence to Survive

Eyes downcast with tears that threaten to fall A shadow at the doorway as my breath catches I feel like prey waiting to be seen Sitting in…

Completion

Endings arrive Startling realisations Of dreams that will never come to fruition Fingers twitch at the unknown

Look How Far You’ve Come

Three months ago you lay sobbing Broken by the words of someone you loved Fatigue and anxiety took turns at overwhelming your body Small…

Sorrow

Hello my sorrow, you beautiful thing You twist your vines around my heart And pull me into the depths of your darkness

The Dawn of a New Year

I stand on the threshold A glance back over my shoulder You falter far in the distance Fingers outstretched won’t brush your shadow Aching…

Smoulder

In the crevices of my heart and hips Knots of fury burrow Tucked in tightly through swallowed words Filthy looks and disappointment
