It was the way

the taste of your lips

imprinted on my brain,

forever.

silent destruction

little by little

I have pieces of myself away;

you bettered yourself,

while I silently crumbled.

Unsaid

I sat terrified

of the things left unsaid-

words clung to the air

but refused to drop,

troubled thoughts

suspended between

lovers.

burned out

overwhelmed and overstretched

nerves burning with rage,

body running on tired

I can’t keep up.

Wet

your kisses

send a fire through

my veins, spreading

to my thighs- crying

out for you to sate

my burning desire.

My bed

all day

I longed for

your warm embrace –

to have you wrapped

around me, taking away

the sadness of the day.

A promise

I’m promising

to be gentle, calm and kind

to myself.

-Jas ©

Also promising to write daily even when I have nothing to say.

10 days

10 days since you came;

10 days since I lost myself, again.

trying to figure out

how to be human-

a mother, wife, a woman,

is completely overwhelming.

my 3rd was born 8.11 and everything just seems upside down.. at least he’s cute 🙃

Baby #3

anger swirls behind my eyes,

sadness mixed with nausea

settle in my stomach;

unexplained and undefined,

can’t pin point exactly what’s wrong-

oh, hormones you bitch.

the same

I imagine

a fish gasping for air;

flapping about on the shore

wide eyed and scared-

we aren’t so different.
