I didn’t place a wish on time this year. There’s a reason. I’ve been thing of the perfect gift for myself this year. A gift that is not too common or something I’ve had on my list year in year out. Last night was Christmas Eve and I felt I was selfish to gift myself.… Continue reading Dear Santa

A Love Unspoken
I wish I could get you off my head and my heart. I want to move on but it's not easy to do it without you. I'm sounding like a broken record, but, my heart is broken without you. It's hard for me to move on. I still feel something strong for you - it's… Continue reading A Love Unspoken
Betrayal
His words calmed her nerves,But, he can’t compare it with her patience.He can’t feel what she felt when she was watching on the sideline,When she was the cheerleader and not on the field.She loved him the first day she saw him.Its funny because she had just brought life into the world,And her heart had been… Continue reading Betrayal
Holding Onto Hope
Every day I get tempted to call. I'm scared of how you'll respond. I'm not ready for it. My birthday was two day ago. I wasn't expecting your message or call.

The Dagger
No words,His actions, louderThe dagger, sharpMy heart ripped apart. This love, he didn’t deserve.He twisted the dagger,And stole the only piece I had left;My broken heart

We've been back and forth about when we should mark our anniversary because there's the day we met, then the day we started dating officially. The dates don't matter to you, but being a lady who loves writing and… Continue reading Scars and Strength
A Letter in Limbo
Last time we spoke it didn't end well. You disconnected my call. No. You didn't pick up. I know that sometimes I get on your nerves but what I felt was real. It's 3 weeks now and I haven't heard from you. Truthfully speaking, some days I stare at my phone and hope you'd call.… Continue reading A Letter in Limbo
