The maiden . . . more

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
Bury them deep inside yourself
and put on your fake disguise
You thought the world
would believe them

When did you start . . . more

My heart breaks a little
every time you share
what's been going on
You've held it in too long this time
Don't you know I care
I wish I could be there to hold your hand

Sadness seen in winter's white blanket
covering lush forests
green like the color of her eyes.
Lakes and rivers are quiet and serene,
but with sun and rain comes rebirth.
Then, water . . . more

You slither slowly
through the garden grass
trying not to make a sound.
Slowly spinning tales made of lies.
Others don't see the real you

I don't OWE you anything!
No explanations, No apologies
My insides were hollOWEd

I started to cOWEr in fear
and hide in . . . more

Gifts of autumn
Fires blazing under the harvest moon

I can still see your face,
and feel the touch of your skin.
There is such comfort in your embrace.
Safety, warmth, love
You tell me it's o.k.
Everything will be o.k.

at night when I close my eyes.
I sing in my dreams.
Unecumbered and unashamed
My voice is loud and my heart

of her former self.
Eyes the color
of clear blue pools
and hair the color of ginger.

suffocating under the weight of it
motionless and gasping for air

no boundaries
You smothered me and
