Once in a lifetime.

I am strong. I am the author of my story and no one can ever hurt me without my permission. I'm smart and resilient and not afraid to walk away. I can be bent but never broken. I am loving, kind and giving. I take care of myself and the ones I love. I am a good woman and I deserve to be cherished and fought for. I am worth waiting for. I am never too much and always enough. I am not a one in a million kind of girl I am a once in a lifetime kind of woman.

Little bird

I wish to be a little bird
That flutters into your room
And lifts your eyes toward the sky.

You weren't supposed to leave me behind...
I believed you when you said we would make it through...
you had changed my story,
You had rescued me from the lonely gypsy I was and I thought my heart redeemed.
Now I am more lost and more broken then ever. It was manageable to be alone never knowing anything else, but then I met you and all the sadness melted away.
It would have been better for me if you had never come in to my life. Because now there is a sad gravity to my heart I cannot fix with smiles.
I cannot soldier on and make the best of things as before.
Nothing is as it was.
I know I will forever live in the wake of your love
And mourn what once was mine for a brief moment in time.
I cannot manage this.
