from the moment we met

i felt a tingle in my toes

like i was standing on top

of the tallest building

i guess i never should have jumped

#heartbreak #poemoftheday #breakup #risk #lovepoem #failure #pain #writtenword

darling, i cannot lie to you

i dream of the day

the world forgets

i was ever its lover

and i wait patiently

for the moment

i leave the burning bellies

of my protectors

so that finally

i may rest

#mentalhealth #spokenword #depression

if you are still here with me

can you whisper something warm

or send a bird in your place

to bat its wings in my direction

and if you are not here

maybe you could somehow

emerge from wherever you are

(wherever you went)

to bundle me up in your sweet scent

if you find me today

and i’m still crying on this wooden bench

then maybe you could tell me

that you miss me

and that you’d do anything

to make your way home

to me

all these poems about honey

and sweet words dripping from heavy lips

we should be rhyming about bee stings

not the taste of tea at two

or honey combs

just swollen shoulders

from the labor of this love

dog bites

not cherry stems
