Don’t tell me to get over it
Until you’ve loved
With every bits and pieces
Of your soul
Until you’ve scraped up
Your dignity off the ground
And walked away
Leaving your heart
In the walls
And the floors
In the silence
And the promises
That were shattered
Yes
I’m in a better place
But don’t tell me to get over it
Until you’ve walked the walk
Of a desperate wife©️

She wanted more than hollow words and pretty smiles, she wanted the darkness that lived in her mother’s eyes to touched her. She wanted to understand how someone so fragile could carry so much pain tucked away beneath her rib cage. All the damaged years, every lonely nights tells the same story.
She found a way to shine through the pieces of her fragmented soul.

I never got to say goodbye
Death was swift
The finality of life
Crashed into me
And I’m left with
Feelings
Unresolved
And painfully
Alone©
It whistles in my bones
Closer
The world presses in
And I fight for absolution
Freedom from the gravestone
That walks ten feet behind©
