WATCHING IT CHANGE
Hues of soft flame
burning through the sky.
Pink whispers.
Orange bleeding through.
Blues fade—
clouds turn.
Then
midnight
takes it all.
And I stay
to watch it
become something else. -
BUILT IN RUIN
Holding roses,
bleeding out on the floor—
the witching hour waits,
voices at the door.
my love,
built in ruin,
wounded.
there’s blood in the water—
and still
I ruin more. -
NOTHING LEAVES CLEAN
I learned early—
nothing leaves clean.
Not grief.
Not love.
Not the versions of you
you had to bury to survive.
Fallen tears.
Coffee stains.
Sunlight
cracks through the window—
soft,
but unforgiving.
Heaven—
a state of mind.
Hell
lives deep in the heart.
Smoke without fire.
Footsteps that don’t return.
And something in you
still counting the dead. -
FUEL
Yesterday’s faults
become tomorrow’s sorrows.
In the dark corners of my mind
I string stars like fairy lights.
I take thunder in my chest
and turn it to fuel—
to light the fire within.
