A shipwrecked heart
Beaten against the shore
Pain buried
Instead of treasure
I find comfort
In a sea sprayed face

#poetry #poem #writtenwords

I would rather live
In a world of bleeding sorrow
Than leave my child
A world of their own pain

I will persist
Despite the aches and pains
Because I see her smile
And it bandages all wounds

#poetry #poem #thoughts #writtenwords

At times
I wish I had comfort
A simple hand
Held in mine
Or a kiss
To stay the night

Somewhere between expectations and silence, I lost myself.

The Bones of Validation
