it
by gabriella Blake

I wonder, were you it? Will anyone ever love me the way you loved me, or were you it? Will anyone ever lose sleep thinking about me, pining over me the way you did, or were you it? I think you were it. I can’t sleep because I think you were it. Because now there is nothing. It’s done. And I will never again be loved so deeply. And I will never again be wanted so deeply. And I will never again be the reason he can’t sleep. How could you have ever loved me. There is nothing here deserving of love. How did you see this mess as something worth loving. Will anyone else see me the way you did. Please tell me you weren’t it. Please tell me you were only the beginning. tell me there is more.

hello
by gabriella Blake

I’ve struggled to write your letter for so many months. That was supposed to be my closure. I could never find the words, nothing was good enough, nothing could encapsulate everything that is us. Words cannot describe who you are to me. Words cannot describe the impact you have on my life. Words cannot describe the love I will always have for you. No letter I could ever write would do you justice. There is too much to say, too many feelings, too much love challenged by pain. Ive needed That closure, the end, my last words to you. That is simply an impossible task. your role in my life is not over. I’ve tried to fight that, but it’s fact. The only thing to end is my suffering. That is an end I can live with. That is an end I welcome with open arms. That end brings new beginnings. A new chance for hope, love, friendship, and most of all happiness. I’ve let go. Not of you, but of the pain. I remember how to smile.

Juxtaposition
by gabriella Blake

Maybe it’s because of holding on to that I’ll learn to let go.
Maybe it’s because of all this pain that I’ll learn to be strong.
Maybe it’s because of all this sadness that I’ll learn to be happy.
Maybe it’s because of all this hate that I’ll learn to love.

Beautiful stars
by Tim Hager

Looking up at the sky
Trying to make sense of it all
How do the stars neither fly
Nor tumble and fall?

Isn’t it great
This unique ability
To contemplate
Our own fragility

Downpour
by Francis Shipp

As she walks away
To a new life
A new, alien life that I won’t be a part of
Thunder fills the untamed decibels in the air
The atmosphere shifts
With each vibration
As sound permeates every centimeter of earth
You can feel it coming
The water, meant to rejuvenate life on this planet
It means to start anew

Time Doesn’t Heal
by Reverie Thoughts

Made myself bleed
From anxiety
Baby don’t you see?
I don’t feel the heat
And I don’t feel seen
This physical fatality
I thought went deeper
But this mountain-
It’s getting
Steeper

Passerby
by baby panda

all these words never said
and the happy songs that
turned sad in my head
i should have given up by now

but you know how i am

i have no more a larger piece of your life
than that which you give me and
this is just another worn out story

Walk away
by Ciorstin Bd

I walk away, life is irony itself,
a payback for the past, a consequence without a cause

I walk away, not to run, but to find strength to go on
I am not what you need and I am not what you want,
you must chase your own personal mirage

I didn’t ask for this, I did not want it, I was content and at peace,
and here it is, a small crack in my defences and you blew open the wall
