Pep talk

Darling, love who loves you back.

Care for who returns the care.

That waiting room is long,

and no one there is amused.

Don’t let others wander

into your tiny head.

Stop making choices

that place other people

before you.

Romanticizing the Past

Soft Launch

You slid into the DMs

Before sliding into me

Words warm as a late-night glow,

Promise humming between the lines.

I cannot forget that kiss,

That touch so serene,

The way time leaned closer

Just to listen to our breath.
