essence

Can't get you off my mind Believe me I tried since the last time You are engrained in my memory Etched in my heart I keep a piece of you with me In a place where secrets lie Slowly I inhale and exhale bits of you Your loving warm embrace constant on my mind Seducing my senses Driving me wild Leaving me sated yet wanting more

Feeling

Walking talking thinking Feelings Working playing Feelings Never ending Consuming Can't sleep can't eat Feelings Feelings of Depression hurt shame Up in the middle of the night Feelings Longing for more receiving less Feelings Being yourself without apology Loving who you see Feelings Unapologetic Take me or leave me Loving this Feelings

For you

One day I won't miss your kisses and being with you will Be a memory The time I've yearned for you And only your touch will be a memory posted up on a wall Not in my heart On my mind In my soul You I will bury in the recesses of my heart And forget your smile Your embrace When that day comes I will know that being with you Enjoying time with you was not in vain But today isn't that day and my heart still silently aches for you. Its as if I lost you yesterday and my days have been incomplete. You make me smile and show That shy girl inside that she is a strong woman I bet you don't even know the impact That you held on me But I guess that's why you were able to say goodbye Knowing you for a moment allowing you in I regret not Because I cherish the experiences The loving warm embrace that you always gave me. I wish you a lifetime of happiness Even now as my heart weeps.

vessels

Vessels The woman before you a broken vessel seeking repair I bow I break my life is crystal clear Looking for the remedy I search galore Search for beauty and peace restored Angst arises like the steam from the ground What happened to this queen Where is her crown? Wrapped up in worry Clothed in concern Never to utter those simple words I am beautiful this is me What you see before you Is truly me I am strong I am wise Look me always in the eyes Eyes that have strength Tell tales of past hurt shame and regret Windows to the soul of a woman scorned Take a look again and you will see Your mother aunt sister niece grandmother all the women in your life wrapped up in me.
