I Thought We Had More Time

The hardest part of letting go
Are our plans that were laid out in joy
Those vague promises of adventure
All the experiences we'll never have
Abandoned daydreams and excitement
Of all we intended to do

Train for Me

It’s hard to be a marathon of a human being
When so many are looking for a sprint

The Queen of Cups

She appears to me consistently
Showing me what I hold
Intuition, compassion, strength
Calm waters at grounded feet
Holding space for others' emotion
Reflecting others' depth
Channeling transformation

She reminds me to hold my cup steady
That though I have the source
I do not need to empty it so often
That I should not fall into naivety
Not overlook the obvious for the sake of love
And to appreciate all that I already hold

Cleansed

Fire licked the remnants of lies
From my cup
After I emptied out
Your false promises

Cruelty

In retrospect
I’ve realized that you tried it
To segue into that conversation
You were too cowardly to start

I’m so naive
I didn’t recognize it
Because why would
Someone who cares about me
Treat me with
Cruelty

Deep Down I Knew I Wasn't Any Different

I watched your tidal waves
Wash away lovers
One by one

I stood on the beach
With sandy bare feet
Until I was dragged under too

Used

Yes, you did

Fed off my energy
I felt it drain
And I let it happen
I thought you'd refill me
You said you wanted to
Hold that fragile hope of mine

I "called you to arms"
To show who you are
But for someone else
So you go ahead
Tell yourself whatever you want
But you know you used me

No wonder you can't sleep at night
