To be loved is golden. To be adored, to be chosen. My windows are closed. But, I left a door open.

I love love. It keeps me going. Yet, some days I feel like my door is closing. I catch myself wondering if I should keep hoping.

I refuse to give up on love. That means I’d give up on me. I know that patience is a virtue, I know that patience is key.

He sle...

There’s a hole inside my heart, your smile sealed the deal. It grows bigger when we are apart, the words you speak, I intimately feel.

Caught up in the midst of emotions, destruction soon follows. Our feelings deeper than oceans, we try not to be swallowed.

A mutual agreement to seperate, too much to sacrifice. Our minds made up but fail to stay, two hearts beat agonized....

I pulled his hand and guided him to the back of the building as my heart raced. In this moment I felt brave. Be it authentic or liquid courage. I was ready to profess my love. We swiftly navigated through the crowd of people until the exit was in sight. I pushed the door and it swung open hard. My adrenaline was rushing and the butterflies in my stomach only summoned the frog in my throat. We stoo...

Where a few great men traveled to see God. Lifting up praises, eyes widen in awe. Evil too awaits for their feet to slip and fall, Yet agape love tramples enemies, beating temptations above all....

Your strong embrace nestles me safe. In your arms no weapon can prosper. An honor it is to be protected by you. Our love, our bond, it’s deeper than true. An amorous connection, from which our child grew....

Balancing on the foundation of self proclaimed resilience, Breaking in silence when the moon becomes brilliant. Resuming daily task with excellence and zest, though my home left in shambles and my mind a mess. The hope of a future pushes me through, everyday that passes is a chance to become new....
