Flowing River

I manage to stop.

Choking back my tears I smile.

Until I remember.

The river flows again.

Moving On

Moving on
Moving up

Growing older
Growing wiser

Drifting further
Drifting onwards

Away from me
Away from here

Away from where
We used to be

I miss you
My heart cries tears

I wish you could be
Right here with me

Tonight

Write Me Happy

When I am sad, write me glad
When I am down, write me up
When I am low, write me high
When I am blue, write me bright
When I despair, write me happy

Intensity

Heat like a burning iron
Seared through my heart
Scorching the soft flesh –
The intensity of which
Left me begging for mercy
My unwiped tears left to
Dry themselves away

It has been suggested that I am “too intense”
I have no idea how to be less intense
And whether I should even try
But I guess being less intense could be more fun
How does one go about being less intense?

Feeling Sad

Missing my mum
Missing my dad
Missing a life I no longer have
Feeling sad

Missing my family
Missing my home
Missing lives that no longer live
Feeling alone

A nation in tears
