Writing through the ache, the joy, they lessons I seem to repeat—trying to find meaning and light in the dark. Always from the heart & honest even when I look bad.
Feedback is always appreciated.
Everything is beautiful, and everything hurts. Everything is beautiful, and everything hurts. The sun shines brightness on roses not meant for me.

You’re struggling to carry the heat of what I left behind. Each memory is a spark that refuses to go out. You let it settle where it wants.
Finally, I can acknowledge hope keeps me returning there, even when I know it is nothing, that there’s no residual sweetness
Still, I reach out for your heart. You brag you have none, strangely proud of your hollowness.
Know nothing Know your worth Worth a damn Worth a shot Shot in the dark Shot through the heart Heart to heart
Sunlight pours over me Sunlight strengthens my soul Soul carries me forward Soul seeking Seeking joy Seeking love
hot fire licks my lungs, each breathe a stubborn ember, winter settles in

subtle touch lingers a spark curls inside the chest winter holds its breath
Flames jump between us. Discarded clothes catch the glow. Winter is blushing.
Heat sparks between us. Layers of clothes on the floor. Winter is screaming.
A bed time huddle. Several seconds of fire. Winter exhales slow.
After-hours pulse. A private spark lights the dark. Winter blues can't stay.
