Where the quite becomes words

  • Rest

    Go rest now precious one,Your life in eternity has just begun.Now you can walk, your legs are brand new,All of heaven is now in your view.Look all around, it’s all in your sight,There will never be another dark night.Flowers and jewels, the street of pure gold,I can just imagine the smile on your face as… Continue reading

    I said I needed distanceI said I needed spaceBut now I lie awake wonderingWhy the silence feels heavierThen anything we ever sharedI miss the way you touched meLike you weren’t sure if you shouldYet somehow you always knewI wanted you toI miss the way we flirtedIn that soft, secret languageOnly we seemed to understandA smile,… Continue reading

  • Distance Between

    Once, his words were lanterns – Soft flames drifting toward me,Lightning corners I didn’t know were dark.Laughter moved like music,And the air was warm with maybe.Now, the melody falters – He steps back,And silence grows strongI watch the spaces widen,A quiet oceanWhere no bridge will hold.The thought lingers – A fragile petal pressed between pagesWhat… Continue reading

  • Sad but Hopeful (Mirror)

    I paused at the mirror todayCaught off guard by a flicker of recognitionA shadow of the girl I used to beRising beneath the surfaceBut the moment slipped awayLeaving me staring at a faceThat knows how to smileEven when the heart beneath it tremblesHer eyes tell the truthHer voice never doesThey hold storms behind their shineQuiet… Continue reading

  • Rooting For You

    When the days feel endless and the nights grow long,When the drills seem heavy and the steps feel wrong.Remember this truth when the struggle breaks through:You’re not alone – someone believes in you.Bootcamp was made to test every part,To challenge your body, your will, and your heart.But quitting’s a whisper you never should hear,Because strength… Continue reading

  • The Quiet Ache of Wanting

    He walked in, looking amazing, and I felt myself light up under his gaze.But as I replay each moment, I wonder – did I lose sight of who I am?What started out as simple exchanges became months of blurred boundaries.He never spoke of her, and I never asked, but was that my own denial?When I… Continue reading
