for so long
i wanted you to hold me
until i realized how small you
needed me to be to fit
within your grasp
– butterflies rising
Read More →i’m here… wanting
to know the shape of you,
without having to lose my own.
but just not yet knowing how…
how to take you in, but keep me too.
how to breathe love and
wholeness all at once.

it’s some sort of holy thing, a sacred thing
…this love.

where the light falls
and the beautiful stays
when the stars settle in…
come with me.

Read More →don’t look for your
peace in getting back at them,
or trying to make them see your worth
and what they lost in you…
go more into yourself.
become a more beautiful, whole,
confident version of you…
one that doesn’t need anything
from them to feel free.

in front of you
and i thought of everything
that had ever broken me,
i thought of everything
that had ever shattered my heart,
and in that moment when i looked at you
i thought of how maybe
i’ll tell you someday.
but for now, i just exhaled.
and i spoke nothing of any of it…
because all
of it made sense now,
and none of it
mattered anymore.

the way all my senses shift,
the way my soul sways…
it’s how i know.
