Horizon


 Where the stars kiss the ocean,

And the sky touches the horizon.

Where you kiss my lips, and I'm in heaven.

Free


 I believe that for the first time in my life, I'm comfortable in being on my own. 

I can tell you that it has always terrified me before but not anymore. 

I've broken the cage and gotten over my fear and I'm telling you it's the most liberating feeling. 

I've realised that everything's ok. I realised that I don't need to be in company to do things, because now I know I can do them on my own. 

Now I'm free.

Tragedy


 And when he said goodbye, 

I knew it wasn't the end but actually a beginning...

The start of my missing him forever. 

My heart sighed and my mind went into overdrive. 

How comforting, 

No tragedy ever goes to waste.

Marble


What have you endured? 

What battles have you fought?

How many did you win? 

And yet you never gave up. 

That's strength.

Leaf


 There are signs that I'll see. It's the Universe's way of nudging me.

It's telling me to look down, slow down, and pay attention. 

It makes me stop and smile. 

It allows me to maintain a child-like wonder of the world around me. 

It's so important...so important to do this. 

To realise there's something so small that can catch my attention and bring my thinking to a stand still. 

Just a leaf, a heart shaped, golden leaf laying on the ground signalling me to notice it. 

I did, I saw it's the perfect shape of a heart.

It made me think of you and that I'll ask how yours is.

A pause between heartbeats. 

A question asked. 

How's your heart? 


Empty


 A man does not love you. 

He lusts for you.

The attention he pays to you is only to get an outcome for himself. 

Once he has that, you are nothing to him. 

Do not mistake his talking to you as his interest in you. 

Or that he is vested in a friendship. 

Be guarded and respect yourself enough to say "no". 

He will move on very fast when he hears that. 

And you will see how genuine he was. 

Lust is not love. Attention to you is not a commitment. Persistence is not interest. Words are empty.

Bloom


 Even a heart doesn't stay broken forever.

Where is that person you thought you couldn't live without? 

Just look at your heart now, flowers have bloomed. 

Mine

These words that I pen are not about you.
