Words That Help You Heal

Love

  • ECHO OF ALMOST

    Echo Of Almost I thought you were my one, true love. Instead you’re my eternal ache. I thought you’d always cherish me, But you caused my heart to break.   I thought you were my forever, Not my echo of almost. Now I cry myself to sleep each night, In the house that holds your… Read more

  • Lost In A Memory

    What makes you feel nostalgic? Being nostalgic is a wonderful thing. Reliving your past. The joy it can bring. But don’t get too lost in an old memory. Lest you forget how good this life can be. I love to remember my son’s younger years. How proud I would be when he conquered his fears.… Read more

  • Her Downward Spiral Have you ever stopped to wonder That it’s not just your heart that’s broke Your choices are much louder  Than the words that you have spoke   Now you’re sinking deeper  With every line of coke you hit Shooting up your heroin Till both your mind and veins are split   You’ve started falling faster  Down into that… Read more

  • A LOVE WORTH WRITING ABOUT

    A Love Worth Writing About I don’t want to be someone’s short story,  in a tale they tell to all their friends. I want to live in every chapter,  in a book that never ends.   I want to be the kind of woman,  that my partner can’t resist. And deep inside I know,  this type of love has… Read more

  • THE SCENT OF US

    The Scent of Us My pain is my perfume, You wear grief like cologne. The fragrance surrounds us, Each scent stands alone.   We linger in silence, Our sorrows entwine, Yet even with distance, Your ache mirrors mine.   The air feels familiar… A blend of regret. The ghosts of our losses, We cannot forget.… Read more

  • INTO THE THAW

    Into The Thaw   You come off cold. Your heart encased, In layers thick with frost. But if you let me help you thaw, You’ll find what once was lost.   If you choose to stay this way, The ice will surely spread. Yet if you let me through your walls, I’ll melt each frozen… Read more

  • THE TRUTH OF LOVE

    The Truth Of Love   Love means giving someone freedom While nurturing your bond And although it is magical It’s not made with a wand   It isn’t built on fairy dust Or sealed with just a kiss It takes deep roots and daily care To grow a love like this   It’s not control… Read more

  • IF DRAGONS WERE HEARTACHE

    If Dragons Were Heartache   If dragons were heartache Then mine would be slayed If love were a color You’d be my favorite shade You brighten the darkness With your light that won’t fade You’re a blanket of grass And I love every blade   If stars were your laughter I’d live for the night… Read more

  • IN THE AFTERGLOW

    In The Afterglow I’m sitting in the afterglow of your wicked, raging storm. You tried to break me with the winds, but I have been reborn.   You thundered through my open skies, with fury, fire, and rain. You carved your name in lightning just to watch me bend in pain.   But here I… Read more

  • THE PURGE

  • THE PURGE

    The Purge   It’s like my trauma is an illness That you think you need to cure And the way you try to change me Just shows me that you’re insecure   My past has helped to grow me All the way down to my core And what you’ve done is more than enough For me to walk out… Read more

  • FROM THE FLAME

    From The Flame   I loved you more than words could show, But love can’t bloom where cold winds blow. You left, and still I learned to stand, With trembling heart and open hand.   At first, I begged the stars to mend. The silence carved where once was friend. But prayers can’t hold what… Read more

  • MAMA, HOW I MISS YOU

      Mama, How I Miss You Mama, how I miss you Life is not the same I have survivors guilt I feel like I’m to blame   I’m supposed to carry on But I don’t know how to do it How can I keep going Without you here to help me through it   Some… Read more

  • WATERFALLS

    Waterfalls You see a blank canvas. While I see bare walls. Where I see leaky faucets. You see waterfalls.   You hear a dad joke. And laugh throughout the day. Where I just roll my eyes. Shake my head and walk away.   They say opposites attract. You’re the Yin and I’m the Yang. I… Read more

  • BY YOUR SIDE

    By Your Side You got some bad news. Let me hold your hand. No matter what, By your side I will stand.   I want you to know, That I’m here for you. Together, we’ve got this. We’ll get you through.   We’re wading through waves. In an ocean, so deep. But I’ll stay by… Read more

  • PURE AND TENDER

    Pure And Tender I’m falling to pieces Like a puzzle unfinished I move like a zombie With my vision diminished Which way do I turn My path is unclear Being lost and alone Is my greatest fear If I reach out my hand Will you pull me close I need your courage Like I need… Read more

  • BEAR

    Bear How does no one see the real you? Are they looking through a different lens? Because the first day that we met, I knew we’d be the best of friends.   You are such a gentle giant. With the biggest heart of gold. The way your aura shines so bright, It’s breathtaking to behold.… Read more

    My Parent’s Advice    Don’t go around picking  Everyone’s noses  You don’t want to be friends  With someone who bulldozes  If a man buys you flowers  You deserve roses Don’t date a musician  Who only composes    You can’t climb a ladder  Without using the stairs Not every person  Is someone who cares We’re all… Read more

  • PUTTY IN YOUR HANDS

    Putty In Your Hands   Like a sunrise chasing a shadow Or an aura embracing its glow Like words that rhyme on paper Or a melody’s gentle flow   To me your love’s the rays of sun That light up the darkest days And I can hear the music When I get lost in your… Read more

  • THE COLOR OF EMOTIONS

    The Color Of Emotions Emotions are colors And hatred is blue. The deeper the hatred The darker the hue. Some can be pretty Some too ugly to view. But I’ve never seen this When I’ve looked at you.   To me you are gorgeous The pinkest of shades. When God gave out goodness You got… Read more

  • DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND

    Devil’s Playground You always make jokes, saying you want to play around. But I’m not sure I want to play, on your Devil’s Playground.

      The Thaw My heart is now open. You planted a seed. At one time it was barred, But now it is freed. Love is an option, I thought I had lost. My heart feels the warmth, Instead of the frost. Thank you for the gift.  I’m starting to feel. Something so deep. Something so… Read more

  • HIDDEN IN THIS MASK

    Hidden In This Mask I’m so quick to say that I enjoy being free. But that’s not always my reality. I’m actually afraid of what others might see.   I say I don’t believe in love but that’s not true. I’m afraid of how I’ll handle it. If I lose another you. So I stay… Read more
