Each stinging swallow brings the lucidity I lacked in my sobriety. Why must I become lost to feel found?

Perhaps with darkness comes light, and the light brings truth. Truth in all, even the things I don’t want to see.

Tell me who I am. I only know what I’m not. #vss365

The light learned to stay away
As did her shameful eyes
All that was left was a brittle smile and
rueful lullabies

Did she tell you her name?
Did she speak to you?
To know the truth is to unearth
Sinister secrets in buried bones

Blood words
Inciduous thoughts
A mind obscured by social lies
Beneath the blur of yesterday’s sting
Today I pretend I have control
This is the way to continue forward

Shadows of #pain don't belong to me anymore, for I'm a night of whispered desires under your soft moonlight as you evoke intimate longing from tales of the heart...I'm crazy for you so handle me with care like the gentleness of zephyr, for our love is jeweled from the deepest part of our dreaming!...

There was no going back
Exiled to the ether
Banished to the perguatory of delusion and desperation

I’ll wait here for you
I’ll be the one dancing beside the fire
Fingers taunting the flame’s fierce bite
As pain devours my relic past #vss365

Four pages
Endless rewrites
Too many tears
So many I’m sorrys
But not even a text
What should i believe?
Usps sucks?
You’ve moved?
Or worse you’ve moved on and don't even care enough to send me a quick thanks but no thanks
These are the moments i remember
Why i isolate

[Ramona Brooks 💋💋 @RamonaWithLove]

@StephenKing Deep down in his what? I’m sorry Stephen, but I think that’s wrong for you to make such leaps and bounds

[Ramona Brooks 💋💋 @RamonaWithLove]

I wished you well,
you said your goodbyes,
but you never told me
if you even tried.

I shake my head,
angry only with myself.
I knew exactly what you were
before you even sat down—
before I started with all the excuses,
giving you chances you never asked for.

Shame on me for letting you in,
and shame on you for asking
me to let my guard down.
I should’ve listened
when you told me
exactly who you were:
predictable, simple,
animalistic, linear—
monochromatic,
just the one note,
the one flavor,
the one care.

Sorry, I don’t have time
for the same old, same old.
I need to go find me a rainbow—
colors that will make each day,
feelings that won’t ever fade,
songs that send me soaring,
and for that kind of love,
I’ll find the courage to keep on hoping.

This is me, one step away from falling apart.
There you are, tough and decisive, thinking you know who you are.
And maybe in the end, what will be will be,
regardless of my witty texts or the earth-shattering sex.
So what I feel, think, say, or text—be it sweet or irate—
is ultimately trivial.

We both show up as fractured souls. Every moment,
be it joyful, disturbing, boring, or gut-wrenching,
we stand here waiting to see what happens next.
What’s the point in hoping? Or holding my breath
in anticipation of tomorrow? It’s as silly
as wishing on birthday candles.

So maybe I should remain stoic,
not believing your words are more than they are.
After all, tomorrow will come either way,
and my ending may have nothing to do with yours.

In the shadows
Behind the fair,
Unseen or disregarded, she couldn’t be sure.
She held her breath while running red lights,
Kissing everything to God that fell to the floor.
She regards you with incredulous eyes;
Her tears only fall in solitude,
When the pain of loneliness brims over.
Despite it all, she’s still compelled to find that thing—
Her affinity seems to be rooted in pain.

She used her fingers for counting,
Moved her lips as she read,
Often clumsily tripping over her own feet.
Yet what she lacked was nothing; compared to all she was.
When she smiled, she stole your words—
For there were no words.
Innocence radiated from her entire being,
Touching even the worst of souls.
Her acumen lay in the way she loved—
Wholeheartedly and pure,
Forsaking none, yet shaking them all.

For the first time ever,
Her tears came fast.
Was it a sign of healing,
Or the bullshit from her past?

He seemed so entranced by her eyes;
She hoped this one would stick around a while.
Her cheeks aglow at the possibility
That he was sincere and not another expert beguile.

if i'm guilty of anything
it's of loving you,
completely
utterly
wondrously
loving you,
loving all of you,
for you have set
my heart ablaze
ignited my soul
with such an exquisite yearning,
& until i found you
i hadn't found me,
for you
& only you,
beautifully complete me.

“Just so you know, I know what you're doing. The whole aloofness thing. You don't want me to know that you’re really into me, but I know it's just an act. So, feel free to stop pretending.”

She blinks several times.

“Yeahhhh, exactly,” he said as his lips curled into a amug smile.

“Wow, you’re just, like so, just so wrong—actually straight-up delusional,” she shot back before turning on her heels and walking away as fast as possible without breaking into a jog. She was humiliated by her own lack of #awareness. How could she be that disconnected from reality?
