  • Thought it might be good to change up the content a bit. I can’t believe that I have been writing so much poetry. It’s been years since I’ve had the desire to write again. Too many years spent silent, unhappy in the dark. So much to say and yet no way to say it all. Poems express succinctly the deeper feelings within my soul. Though I write often in my diary, I do…

  • My heart is still paused in a hope.But I fear with the negative is what I will have to cope. “Don’t overthink”, I am told.But I feel as if what was started could be turning cold. Time is quickly passing by…Tonight I let myself truly cry. Too much I already careWanting to trust, to love is this snare. Do you feel the same?Or is it still too much to give this a name?…

  • For a moment I’d like to know you.For a moment I’d like to meet you.For a moment I’d like to be accepted by you. For a moment I’d like to feel your arms.For a moment I’d like to hear “I’ve missed you”.For a moment I’d like to be truly loved by you. Will that moment ever come?

They lack the skill and attitude of empathy.
