The Saddest Part

And as a tear fell from her eye

She realised she couldn’t do this anymore

For every city that won her over

10 hearts were found and lost

The sweeter the memories made

The sadder the goodbyes became

If only she could wrap them up

Every heart that came to her

And take them with her to the next city

Where more hearts would be found…

But alas!

Life does not work as such

So instead each person becomes

a beautiful fragment that forms

a special piece of her mosaic heart

One so large, it could fit the world

Heights

I could have taken you to the highest

Heights

Ones that birds soar from

A meeting of minds

Bodies

Spirits

Oh you would have loved to taste it

(And taste more, that’s for sure)

But instead you chose to drink

the cup of cosy mediocrity

Because guess what?

It’s comforting and easy

To have lots of options

And damn less scary

to jump

But when it all ends

When the dust settles

And you wonder why

You don’t feel satisfied

Or that no one looks at you in the way I did

(Because let’s face it, I really did)

Or how bored you have become with her

Don’t come back

Asking to soar those heights

Experience what could have been

Taste the potential that never was

You had the option

But didn’t take it

So you’ll find me high in the sky

Where only brave souls fly

With you

With you it felt so easy

I didn’t have to ask what we were

Or try to prove anything

To me nor to you

With you it felt like breathing

Like a novel I had read before

Even though only two pages

Had been turned

With you it felt like floating

A calmness and strength

That made me realise

I needn’t worry

Because if this really *is* what it is

Everything will fall into place

Just like they said

It always would

Words words words

Words words words

Empty words without substance

Call me pretty call me gorgeous

Call me the most beautiful girl you have ever met

But at the end of the day

it all means nothing

Compared to the actions you make

I would rather have the man who makes me tea when I’m feeling sad

Than the guy

Who sprinkles me with praise but fails to show up in the hardest moments

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Thinking I’ll always be there

Even if I wanted it to be so

Life moves very fast -

That much I know

So keep me close

And do what feels right

(Whatever will mean you won’t stay up at night)

And if that means choosing me

Don’t be afraid to jump

Because before you know

You’ll be 10 years older wishing

You hadn’t let me go

Worth

I’m so ready

For the person who’ll soak me all in

Drink up each part of me

And put me first

I am ready for the person

Who won’t make me feel secondary

Or doubt my place ever again

I am not an unsure choice

A maybe

A passive option

For when it’s convenient

I am so much more than that

And would rather pour my heart

Into the cup that will savour

Every drop

Than the one that will waste

A lifetime’s supply of water
