Your presence
Has penetrated my soul.
Slowly filling cracks
And depths I have left
Unguarded.
I am no longer
Dreaming
Nor
Breathing
Without thoughts
Of
You.

Hiding
But
The little girl
Badly beaten and bruised,
Frightened and confused,
Hides in the closet
Amongst
The boxes and shoes
And
Holds her breath,
Holds herself as still as a mouse,
Because if she does not breathe
She does not
Exist.

It Happens
It happens
At night.
The doubt climbs
Onto me
From the inside out
To sit upon my chest
And steal my breath.
There it encourages me to stay.
Safe in my head.
Begs me to lay
Safe in my bed.

These Moments
These moments,
They pass us by.
Before we can catch our breath,
As we begin to smile.
Between each heartbeat
Memories meet
As souls
And love
Simply
Become

Breath By Breath
I am
Trying to revive myself.
I often catch myself holding my breath
And just standing still.
Staring into the distance.
My mind
Wandering through
Unbelievable realms.
My soul trying to escape.
I am
Doing my best to pull myself
Away from a past lifetime that
Has left me
So broken,
And somehow
Stronger than I once believed.
Yet step
By
Single step
I am managing.
And bit
By little bit
I am holding my head
Higher.
Breath by
Heavy
Breath
The air is getting lighter.
And
With each
Beautiful
Note
I add to my new song,
My soul is shining brighter.

Consider
Have you ever considered?
Has it ever crossed your mind
That some of the quiet people,
The ones you think have no opinion,
Have been slapped around
Have been shoved around
Have been belittled
And made to feel so
Insignificant
They believe
Their voice makes no sound
That their opinion has never mattered.
They have been
Gagged and bound
And pushed down to the point
Of suppression?
Maybe they are quiet
Because of the chaos
They have been
Through
And peace is the only thing that will save
Them.
Maybe they have almost run out of air and
They need the
Breath
They have left for living
Not words.

Just Say The Word
I can hold the weight of the world for you.
Just say the word.
If that’s what it takes for you
To take a breath,
I’ll hold it even if it drives me to my knees.
Just to hear you breathe.

Always
Catch my tears
with your cheeks
As our lips
They meet.
Inhale
My breath
Into your depths
And don’t forget
The path your
heart drifts
Is no longer alone.
Memories of
the soul
Always
Return
Home.

Breathe
You make me feel beautiful
You make me feel like I am real
Your eyes look into me
They don’t look right through me
Others see me breathing
When you know I am only holding my breath
Waiting, waiting, waiting to breathe
Your hands reach out and gently touch me
While others go by without even
Noticing
Noticing I am
Waiting, waiting, waiting to breathe

Underwater
If you see me going under
Don’t try to save me
I’m learning how
To breath in the depths
Of the sea
The depths of me
The sounds are muffled
It’s harder to see
But the sway of
The waves,
They carry me
And somehow,
On most days
I can say
I’m doing okay.
