"Craving to be understood"

Ive gotten used

To the bittersweet

Taste

Of being alone.

My pain no longer

Marked across my face,

Just

The warmth of rage

Consuming me with its

Embrace.

I asked for

Diamonds..

But

All I got was

Bleeding

Rage.

Sometimes we

Spend so much time

Running from

Danger,

We don’t see the pit

Of death laid

Out before us..

You

Embraced me with

Villainous intent...

These chains anymore,

Out of breath,

Body sore,

My heart will not

Bare this

Anymore.

This life I’ve lived

Never mine

collections of

Sorrows ,

Gifted unwillingly

By time.

27 years

Lost ,

wiping tears

Of others

With a consoling hand,

burdens now

Mine…

Constantly stuck

In repeated time

Wishing for a second

Maybe,

I’ll be selfish next time,

And hold myself

Just a bit more gentle

Next time..

We make sacrifices in order to keep the peace. We deny our truest selves, instincts of human nature. We hide the animals hidden deep within, Speaking with our monsters in desperate times of solitude... Where there is room for love, also lives Hate. The decision left to the things our monster creates.

She’s worth nothing?

How did the little girls

Dreams wash away?

Left on an empty shore,

Withering in denial,

Drenched in questions of love.

Trying to remember

What it means to

Dream..

-Helen Lorane

I forget how to love

Myself..

Without you,

I am nothing..

-Helen Lorane

Simply to be understood…

It’s all I crave.

In the water’s reflection,

A stranger I see,

A lingering shadow of who I used to be.

Dreams so vivid, never to return.

Faded and grey

My soul has floated away.

Paths I walked, overgrown,

Full of decay.

Tripping over fears and doubts,

Of leftover threads

I’ve sown.

A vivid spark put to rest,

Lonely, lost in darkness

Out of sight…

In the garden of trust, where promises bloom, two hearts once danced, dispelling the gloom. laughter and secrets, shared in the night, a bond so strong, it felt just right. But shadows crept in, whispers of deceit, a friendship once golden, now bittersweet. promises shattered, shards beneath bare feet, the echo of betrayal, hard to overlook a lesson in trust through tear-stained eyes impossible to evade, a void in my life, where your presence once sang, confronted with pain.
