My heart #tissue
still shows the damage—
your absence, acute.

The night began as a whisper
and ended with #pillows on the floor.

Morning arrived in soft disarray,
finding our outlines tangled in linen,
our bodies still holding
the shape of the night—

with nowhere left
for distance to hide.

2/2

[Finley @finleyverse]

A quiet click of glasses
resting on the nightstand,
and the sharp world surrendered to touch.

Contours dissolved into warmth,
guided only by breath
and the slow drift of hands,
finding what sight could not.

I read the stark ink
before I dared to meet her eyes,
each letter weighted with salt and distance,
each word drawing the world inward
until there was nothing left
but her,
and me,
and the impossible space between us—
a place neither of us
knew how to cross.

[Finley @finleyverse]

The crowd dissolved into a wash of grey noise,
and suddenly, the air grew thin.

In her hands, a #poster held a message for me—
cardboard trembling against her knuckles
like a pulse she could not quiet.

I still want one.
Just saying.

Reminder that Dolly Parton didn't leave this world as some fragile lady, she left like a hot rockstar in heels & leather.

[Dolly Parton @DollyParton]

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.

In english we say:
I love you.

But in poetry we say:
You are the poison in my veins, the ruin of my sanity, and I would tear my own chest open just to watch you press your hands deeper into the wreckage.

[Finley @finleyverse]

a damp, stubborn shadow
where your warmth once lived.

I press harder, as if grief
might yield beneath my hands,
but the grain remembers everything—
even the shape of what is gone.

2/2

[Finley @finleyverse]

I try to #sponge the memory of you away,
pressing cold water into the grain,
hoping the salt will lift
before the cedar learns to warp.

But every stroke only deepens the circle.
The wood drinks what I cannot undo,
and your absence settles deeper—

[Finley @finleyverse]

the air still humming where we touched,
our breaths untangling like vines in the dark.

There is a pulse in the space between,
a slow, sweet ache of becoming unbound—
not broken, but opening into our own light,
two bodies learning the quiet language of alone.

2/2

[Finley @finleyverse]

I feel the #cord should be cut—
not with a blade, but with a sigh,
like silk slipping from warm skin,
like moonlight loosening its hold on the tide.

Let it fall as a whisper leaves the mouth,
soft as fingertips tracing the edge of a name;

Never overestimate your worth to anyone, even when they swear they love you.

Love is not measured by what someone says when their heart is full, but by what they are willing to protect when it becomes difficult.

Do not mistake being desired for being cherished.
Do not mistake being needed for being valued.

And above all, never make yourself so certain of your place in someone’s heart that you forget they are capable of leaving you outside it.

Love deeply.

But never surrender your worth to someone else’s hands.
