Your memory still lingers
There are places I can’t go
You may no longer haunt me
With every step I take
But you’re there all the same
No one could take you place
Because no one I know
That lies like you
Will ever get that close to me again
I’ve learned my lesson
Thanks for the memories
But so much more
Thanks for leaving.
I found my new beginning.

inspiration

Inspiration like lightning strikes.
Thunder pounds your soul.
Rain masks the falling tears,
Laugh until you cry again.
Empty of all aspirations,
Staring down your fears.
Simply out of desperation,
Watching with a sinking heart,
The dust that once blew so free.
Dampened down to mud,
Clinging to your feet,
Weighing down your steps.
Yet you soar,
Opposite of dust.
Each new roll,
And each new strike,
A beat of your newfound heart.
A flap of your newfound wings.
A push to move
Past the clouds
On to meet the sun.
Find what you seek.
