rosemary for remebrance
fennel for strength
two ounces of gin from the cabinet
a squeeze of lemon from our tree in the backyard
i sink onto the left side of the couch, where you always sat
if i had known this would be the last outfit you would see me in
i probably would have chosen different underwear
i wouldn't want the paramedics to see these worn white cotton ones
I dreamnt once
That the world was ending
And my head was spinning
Over the thought that you were gone
You were gone
And the world was ending
December 10th, 2018.
A horrible memory.
Sadness swells.
Tears start to fall.
To everyone else that day is just a day.
To me,
That day was the worst day of my life.
Winter passes.
The day I lost you,
Was the day I lost myself.
You took your last breath,
As I shed a tear.
You left me with great memories;
I'll surely never forget
The lessons you have taught me,
Throughout my life I've met so few,
who ever were as kind to me,
as was my clever old Παππούς (papoo)
a strong yet gentle man was he.
His eyes they shone so dark and brown,
No wonder then why Grandma fell
Mentor by Michelle Angeles
Changes and mistakes, where are we now
So far from where we started out
I can’t remember how we began
Every day the sun shines brighter.
Every day the birds sing louder.
But to me, every day is dark and mute
because
every day, I have to live without you.
Heart breaker she was, who's apth was littered with crimson dipped pieces of her past.
Every broken promise was like a knife to her heart.
There’s never a day you don’t cross my mind.
As small as a word, to a memory relinked.
It’s only been a few years but I swear,
a face powdered with the tan dust that covers thick,
removing all lines and any last glimpse of life or being,
transforming to a body, a deadweight, there for last goodbyes.
how do you say goodbye if it doesn't remind you,
You came into my life causing a flood.Made my love bleed out like blood.But you stayed and nourished me.
I’m falling hard, flat on the ground
My heart and soul broken beyond repair
I don’t want to move, I don’t want to live
I feel so sad and lonely without you
You turned off the light in her eyes.
Her spirit slowly died.
You were her rock and her muse.
She doesn't know what to do without you.
She hides in the past to burry her pain.
You were her heart.
You turned off the light in her eyes.
Her spirit slowly died.
You were her rock and her muse.
She doesn't know what to do without you.
She hides in the past to burry her pain.
You were her heart.
Owen, you are an angel sent from up above,
A love that flew in my heart like a beautiful dove
A precious Angel sent to us from God to bless our hearts,
Life's not always easy.
Most people have it pretty touch,
But with my future so near in sight,
And I have no shame.
I can smile through the pain.
My fingers hit those metal strings,
Red rose grows atop a tiny grave.
It's brilliance proclaims a love -
Never to wither, never to end.
Morning breeze carries whispers of love
Every day remembered and returned.
I looked at him.
He was wearing a pink dress shirt.
we were both feeling a different kind of hurt.
He was much shorter than I remember him being.
It hurts me that this was all I remember seeing.
You've walked this side before,
And I've seen your time wary face.
Seasons made you older, lines are drawn
That cannot be erased.
