queen/king…

one that shouts to the heavens in your honor

you’ve been chasing down
the kind of love
that greets you with nothing more
than a shoulder shrug…
the kind that whimpers your name in apathy,

don’t you know that you deserve a love
that holds so much abundance,
one that shouts to the heavens in your honor

i’m going to learn from this… and i’m going to grow…

somebody that someone, somewhere is recovering from

someday i’m going
to love someone, and i’m going
to lay at their feet more love than they
could’ve ever imagined

more to anyone than somebody that
someone, somewhere is
recovering from

i hope that one day the person who hurt you sees you from afar…

standing strong in your fully mended bones

i hope that one day
the person who hurt you sees you from afar
dancing in the radiance of
your unburdened spirit and standing
strong in your fully mended bones…

and that for just a moment you feel their gaze,
so you can forever know, without question,
the powerlessness of their
perception over you
