Warm spaces

have disappeared because I'm trying to break away.
everything else is an attempt at something new, awkward, and cold.

The dark-haired man

seizes the stars, smiles and shines. He's mine.

your story

is a mess of words on any given day.
but tonight,
it's your words lying on top of my shattered ideals.
how can i write you like this?
i wanted you to be my hero...
i guess i'll settle for a protagonist.
that would make me a better writer, right?

I see them

in my mind's eye.

Mail

I love snail mail! Letters, notes, and especially postcards.
And that feeling when I open up a package and find a book inside!
It doesn't take much to make me smile ;-)

strength or insanity

It's all about perspective, I guess.

excerpt

"She can't speak. She simply can't. Why? Because of the anger. But other times, most times, it's because of feeling her soul break and lose grip on the last threads of hope."

Reconnecting

She asked about the 10 year-old me: "Do you still love to eat labneh? And is your handwriting still beautiful? What about the butterflies that you used to draw? I haven't forgotten anything about you."

Yes, maybe, and I draw other things now :)
