she will find him…

there is a man
who will give her all the
love you withheld from her…
and she will find him

never capable of feeling anything at all

i finally stopped waiting…
waiting for him to feel sorry, to feel regret,
to feel guilty, to realize how much he had lost
in me and to feel some certain way for all
that he had done to me

i finally understood…
it really never had anything to do with me.
someone who is capable of all
that he had done was just never capable
of feeling anything at all.

never be ashamed
of how deeply and passionately
you loved someone who destroyed you,
because destroying things is just who they are…

but loving things deeply and passionately
is who you are

sometimes the healing
isn’t as complicated as it feels,
it just asks for space, and surrender, and release…

allowing time to turn the pages
and the memories to fade,
just letting all those messes untangle
and what’s gone to fall away

– butterflies rising

it’s just never been in me
to avoid loneliness with another
and try to call it love.

Lost And Found…

first, i got lost
in his eyes, and in his words,
and in his arms holding me…
then i got lost in all the lies he told,
and i was just… lost.

but then i looked myself
in the eyes, and i started to find my voice,
and i learned to hold myself up,
and i began searching for my truth,
and now… i’m finding my way,
and i’m finding myself.
