I pretend to never care
That your silence overpowers
Me, a constant dull ache
I wish you knew
I wish you cared
I wish you’d love
Me, once again.

Timeless Guard
A whole moon rose to stand watch over a scuttling earth. Ants and people breathed the same air and made the same mistakes of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The timeless guard beamed down its light and exposed the nakedness of life – a vulnerability so fragile and delicate against a ticking clock of time.
I Am
I hold my pain as a soft, vulnerable gift and allow it to be. For everything that I am and everything I have ever been is as delicate as a bubble that has been crafted with the most extraordinary care that allows it to be, and for all of my shortcomings and failures, there is victory too, and with every breath that I take, I simply am.
Scarred
I push
Push as hard as I can
I push people away
Then beg for them to return
I want
I am vulnerable
But I am so scared
Perhaps I am too scarred
Desperation
My tears etch tracks
Down the sides of my face
Flowing unhindered
Unseen
My cries break the silence
Of the overcast day
Speaking of anguish
Unheard
My torment is ignored
And in all my sorrow
My pain
I feel like you don’t love me
And if I need to say that again
It feels as though
You don’t love me
Heart
My heart is as soft
As a warm feather pillow
I cannot play
The games you play
For my heart might break
Releasing all my emotion
Like a multitude of feathers
Flying in the wind
Dandelion
As fragile as a
Spider’s web—dandelion’s
Vulnerability
Breathing
Every night
When I hear you sleep
I hear
Each breath you take
The beating
Of your resting heart
Keeps you
Alive and here with me
And when
That beating stops
You would
Be taken away from me
So finally
Vulnerability
Held in mothers hand
Vulnerability in
All its innocence
