He is the river of light who i love and who i cling to while your wounds ripple.


I remember building a energy shield in your room tall as a pilgrim tree near the first little angle.

I want to drop my arms and take ur arm as we walk by the shore

Small

Ten small fingers attached to two small hands

Feeling new textures, grabbing on to their new lives


Ten small chubby toes attached to two feet

Kicking to the next milestone


Two beautiful eyes placed perfectly on a smal face

Gleaming with joy and love


One small mouth

Stretched wide to create the most beautiful smile, a jumpstart for the heart


How could something so small fill your heart so full...

Ramen šŸœ šŸœ

Something so tiny

If you look at it that way

To me itā€™s something big

Let it see the light of day


Turn the stove on

Get out a pot

Fill it with water

I canā€™t be stopped


Ramen

When I eat it I say

Ramen

You are more than okay


Beef is great

Chickenā€™s okay

Soy sauce too

Ramen all the way


I wish I could eat ramen

Every day

I wish that would be

That would be okay


The noodles make me cry

Tears that a...

Years

You said two words

A decade ago

Yet makes me

Feel as my existence is

meaningless


ā€œWeā€™re doneā€...

Walter

The look he gives me.


Playful. Mischievous. Daring.


What goes on behind those eyes? What goes on when he ignores me? Or when he invades my personal space?


To think, one day, his presence will no longer be felt.


His scratches, his bites, his meows.


How can something so small take up so much of my heart?


My dear Walter Mittens....

The Old Gold Frame

It has an old gold frame, a year etched into it.

I remember that year, as if it were yesterday.

It has a face so memorable that it hurts.

It wasnā€™t the place, but rather the way,

the way we got there, slathered in dirt.


2022 - Summer camp in Oklahoma,

Iā€™d never really had many friends, none at all.

July came by, I was prepping for school,

I was waiting for days to be shoved in the halls,

but camp...

See Love Grow

Heā€™s just a tiny person now

He takes no room at all.

But every time I look at him

My heart to me does call.

I know I ever love his mother

But of this I donā€™t know a thing

I never would have imagined

What new love a child could bring.


For the love I feel for my new child

Is different than for his mother

For when I said the day we wed

That I could not love another

I did not know the capacity

Of the...

Memories Of The Heartbroken

_I love you _


I hear your voice

God, what fool made that choice

How did I believe every word you said

How did I not see that it was a dead end


_I live for your smile _


Your favorite song is engraved in my mind

I still go out at night, hoping itā€™s you I find

I order your favorite drink when you said it was mine

And I still regret all of those tears I cried saying I was fine


_Where are yo...

Tease

Aw do you miss me that much that I canā€™t be away for a few seconds?


_HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEEHEH._


No dude I just gotta draw you and your all the way over there!

ONE PHRASE AND IM KICKING MY FEET AND SQUEALING INTERNALLY.


HOW COULD ONE GUY TAKE SO MUCH SPACE?


I shouldnā€™t get too attached because what if something happens.


On the other hand there is a lot of evidence to prove he likes me back....

Only

Billions of people

But youā€™re the only one my heart beats for

Billions of places

But youā€™re the only place I want to be

Billions of eyes

But yours are the only ones I want to see

Billions of voices

But yours is the only one I want to hear

Billions of hearts

But yours is the only one I want...
