Knight
Through the rain, snow, and sleet,
you’ve ran through it all to get to me.

Monday Musings: Too Good To Be True
Too Good To Be True
I knew you were too good to be true.
The way you fit with me,
so perfectly.
Monday Musings: Snob
Snob
Walk with your nose in the air
hips swaying to your imaginary
song you swear is there.
You have smile that’s painted
but I can see the creases in your
forehead that can’t be erased.
I wonder if I cut you open
if I’d find another world
or if it’d be like cutting paper.
Dye your hair the latest trend,
cake on your fake face,
slide the plastic over the counter,
and pretend to wait.
Monday Musings: Wait
Wait
Buried and suffocating beneath all your old belongings,
hidden under discarded cards and abandoned teddy bears,
I really feel forgotten.
I miss the days when you held me closest to your chest,
cuddling me to your heart as the night came and left;
I was the favorite.
I lie in wait and hope for your arrival,
just a hint of your coat tail as you slip past,
maybe just your long shadow lying against me,
or even a small wisp of hair, and I would be thankful.
And so I wait for you to notice me as I lay at the bottom
of the discarded cards and abandoned teddy bears.
Monday Musings: I Breathe
I Breathe
My heart does this thing.
It skips a beat.
It pitter-patters.
Nothing matters
Except you.
Your smile warms me down to my toes.
I think everyone knows.
But I won’t say a word to them about it.
It’s our secret.
A secret the whole world knows.
They know you hold my hand,
bring me gifts,
kiss my nose,
hug me close.
They know it’s you I love,
I want,
I need,
I breathe.
Monday Musings: Whole.
Whole.
I want to laugh.
I want to cry.
And sometimes,
I don’t even know why.
You make me feel so alive
but at the same time,
so dead inside.
What did I do to
deserve this pain?
I gave you what
I could but nothing
will change.
I can’t keep swallowing
these shards of broken
glass you hand me to
ease the pain.
I can’t keep handing
over the pieces of
my heart for you to
break all over again.
When will you sew the
pieces back together
and keep my heart
safe and warm?
When will you see how
much this pain is bearing
down on me and lift
away this burden?
Will I ever be whole again?
