A zillion voices tell you
... What to do
Your own silent screams
... Fall on deaf ears
Your head is about to burst
... It is a curse
So listen to your own voice
... That is your choice
How do you say a final goodbye?
When you don't want to.
... and if my tears cried a million oceans
Each would whisper your name
My heart is broken
I will never be the same




❤I love and miss you Mum ❤
Miss you, mum. X
Will I continue to ache?
Or will the pain make my heart break?
Maybe best for my own sake
As the torment I feel when I am awake
To my core the sorrow shakes
Maybe when my last breath I take
This sorrow will forsake

.... And give me peace ❤
❤For you mum!  Miss you every second❤
Tea, the bittersweet companion

Who got me through my classes

And past late-night assignments

Tea, the reason my teeth are stained

And the reason why I'm sane

It was the bitterness of black tea

That took a course through my body

And shut off every racking nerve

Fiber that couldn't keep calm

Tea, my equivalent to a therapist

Who left a mark so clearly that

People will swear it's because

I have poor dental hygiene
We were criminals sneaking out at night
Stealing sleep, we were caught enchanting life
We were lovers at the simplest of the word
Never did we know, we weren't part of that herd

We were running away in that blue Chevrolet
An array of plans, coloring stars as they faded to days
We were something that almost had it fair
But I was left to hope you'd be anywhere but nowhere.
Doorstep arrivals are such a thing of haste
I was a last minute thought, nothing has changed
That little niece is about to be eighteen
She can count on her hand how much she has seen
Of you... My saddest truth
That doorstep never knew you again
That one Christmas note, it was your sin
I was delighted to get a letter from a stranger
But you never did write back again.
