Her heart once soft and beating
Over time petrified
From lack of being held
Hardening to the world
Until it was a rock to the outside

A fragile heart
That still remains unbroken
Is missed potential

Poem: A Familiar Face

I saw who I thought was you
The smile was yours and the lips
Oh god, those lips I’d never forget
It was your voice saying my name
Followed by saying sorry as you left

Poem: Waiting for the Dam to Break

Seconds pass between breaths
When it seems frozen in eyes
Reflecting like mirrors back
At me showing me all my lies
That are never spoken read
On silent lips that whisper

Poem: Pushing Away

Touching her hand to her heart
She reaches out seeking arms
To hold her like she wants to be
Held in where she felt safe and
Warm and completely comfortable
