On Facebook just submit in the comments of the post or in my Visitor’s Posts section on my Facebook page. 

I’m really looking forward to reading all your submissions. If you have a poetry account you would like me to promote be sure to DM on me Instagram the details.

Also feel free to submit topic ideas, suggestions and other things. Also, if you just need to vent or talk my door is open to you! Everything will be totally anonymous and kept between you and me and the universe.

You Ran

When your insecurities reared their ugly heads

And reminded me of past experiences,

I didn’t give in to doubt, 

I pressed on,

When others warned me about you,

Who’s intuition I had grown to rely on,

I ignored them and stood by your side,

I pressed on,

When I was presented with yet another chance 

At putting my family back together again,

I said no thank you and stuck by you,

I pressed on,

When a side of you I had never seen,

Jumped through the lines and shook me to my very core,

I didn’t let it scare me away, I forgave you,

I pressed on…

YET…

When I was at my weakest point,

When I pushed you away as a cry for help,

And needed you to be the warrior for me

You had claimed to be,

You ran,

So fast and so fleeting,

And with you took all the titles that 

I had fought in previous times so adamantly against

Yet had finally began to embrace,

And gave them so effortlessly to another,

And all the vows have crumbled,

And all the dances have stopped,

And as the darkness closes in,

It doesn’t consume me,

I simply wear as a cloak,

And in the end,

Talk is cheap

Words are just words

But actions scream and echo through my mind,

Yet I’m the crazy one for being upset

At the fact that when I needed you the most,

You ran,

And stripped me bare,

But the cold is only cold when your heart is warm,

And I’m not shivering…
