Grief came to visit long before death said hello Time threatened to run out once your fall became an issue Lost was found when I didn’t know when the clock will stop ticking I wonder if you knew you were drowning Signs were present but it still doesn’t take away the fact I wasn’t ready for t...Read more

Our first interactions became a dance I was not familiar with The beat threw me off like a kid trying to gain their balance on their first time riding a bike The movements of our bodies didn't mesh together One of us was dancing to a different beat Shortly after the music faded and the dance s...Read more

I want to apologize to all the women I may have led astray I have led you to believe forgiving a man was to give him chance after chance To allow him to string you along without consistent change To make you think this type of love means stay I want to apologize for showing my weakness in moment...Read more

Grief is Uncomfortable Sometimes it gives no warnings about how unpredictable it is No care in the world about feelings Life still goes on Grief likes to hide Behind the smile In the “I’m good” Underneath the facade of busyness Never wants to leave Pity loves the company Grief stings ...Read more
