You took my heart

A cursed apple from a fairytale.

Walking down every street

His cheeks

My blood filtering through your fingers?
I lay exposed before you,
in no way an inappropriate way.

Sometimes I feel like I’m all alone
even though I know You’re right beside me.
Sometimes I think I’m on my own
Winters Own Godsend.
Oh. Snowdrop, Perfect, Fragile, Pure;
Why Do You Bless this Season,
Which is Harsh Cold and Raw.
The Last Leaf of Winter
I Am The Last Leaf of Winter, Still Clinging to My Branch;
Though All Through The Autumn, The Wind Howled, You Haven’t a Chance.
In a Moment or Two.
Dear Friend I Miss You,
It’s Hard To Believe;
Life’s Journey You’ve Left,
Long Ago Days
The Chirp of the Sparrow, the Sound of the Thrush;
Strike Me as Not having the Time, for Our Work a Day Rush.
But I’m broken.
And now anger overflows within me.
And I still feel lost.
Not because I still love you,
this isn't even about you anymore.
by Ariel Douglas (19 February 2016)
Breath
In my lungs
Tears
On my face
Sun
Setting on
All my dreams
Desperate
Crying out
Stranded
No escape
Deserted
My beloved,
Here we are, my lips to your ears.
May the sound of truth echo a melody in your chest.
I have given all I had just to reach you,
