No one speaks of this pain
The pain that is carried with wisdom
However a pain that aches no less
It's a pain that seethes without ease
On the heart, it beats with unrest,
Yet on the mind, it lingers as peace
Coliwe Feb 23
The world dims without you near
My waning soul aches without you here
A craving unlike any I've known
An atrophying heart dying silently and slow

Hear my cries oh my love, as I dissappear in the shadows of fear
Please show your face, it's a great pain I won't be able to bear
You see me in my  muted torment, please don't let me drown
Ruler of a breath I no longer own

Grant me a wish, a universe bright and clear
A world where I can hold you close my dear

The breathe that I draw
The reason I am is because you are
Your comfort embodies the essence of ease
Something dependable - not a tease
Restrain not your hold
Claim me aloud - be bold

Your tender touch, a silken thread,
I pray your arms will hold me instead
My whispered name, a song upon your tongue,  Let promises of love, forever, be sung.
Enrapture me, my soul to yours entwined,
In your embrace, true happiness I find.

A villain I made you out to be
But the truth is what I failed to see
Rather hear 'cause repeatedly you didn't fail to say
But I guess I didn't want to see it that way

I played a part in your unjust blame,
Now remorse holds me, drowning me in shame
A human you are—not demon nor saint,
Not a battle to win, so I yield in restraint

Open my eyes, I shall finally do
I'm tired of lies that I disguised as you
I can silence my cries and let go of you
Finally my eyes are open, now I can say goodbye to you

I hope I give you the space
To grow up and learn at your own pace
To know you are loved in failure and grace
To find strength in independence and aid
And never let your worth be weighed by your face

The world is cruel - this I know
I won't shield you but prepare you to defend yourself so
I pray that you find faith, in yourself and others
But most importantly in the Lord above

I don't know you yet but I love you so
Try my best, this I will do too
With love, your mother that adores you

Your melody soothes the scars I hide,
A gentle escape for my restless mind.
Your rhythm hums with nostalgic grace,
A symphony that holds me in its warm embrace.

Your lyrics whisper what words cannot,
A voice that understands my every thought.
Your beat aligns with my heart’s own pace,
A soulmate’s touch in sound and space.

Your chords pull the strings of my smile,
Lifting my spirit, if only for a while.
Oh, melody, rhythm, and song divine,
My one true love—my therapist, mine.

your unravelled self
is my favourite mess to sort through

so that way I may understand
what kind of fabric
you were made from

soft, like silk running through my fingers

warm, like woolen gloves made for winter

in the spun threads I uncover a story
and how you are clothed

in beauty untold
