Piece by piece we rebuild the moon each night.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYPiece by piece we rebuild the moon each night.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYYou are the sweet, soft, delicacy that delights my soul. I want to taste every part of your aura’s citrusy tang.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYWon’t you let me sail the waves with you, we can dive into the darkest depths of each other and if you ever feel like drowning, I promise I will be there to bring you back to solid ground.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYRun. Run as fast as you can it doesn’t matter where as long as you feel the wind against your skin. As long as you leave everything safe behind you and don’t look back.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYI’ve scattered poems all across this world so that if you ever decide to wonder about an old friend you could see that despite all my anger really- I just miss you.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYI can’t wait to collect memories from every corner of the earth to splash in the vastness of this beautiful world.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYLast winter was colder than usual. Maybe it was the warmth that died with the millions of lives covid stole, or maybe it was the way close people betrayed me and left a gaping hole.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYI’ll never understand how you dumped water on me but didn’t notice me drowning.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYThen the light came and swept me off my feet.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYWe lock away our secrets and push them deep down so they feel farther away but they will always be inside us, no matter how well we hide the key.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYWe left pieces of ourselves in each other.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYDo not compromise who you are to satisfy the ones that are always trying to change you, that are constantly disappointed in your love.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYI come as a full course meal, I will no longer hand myself out like a menu and wait for people to pick me out.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYI have no comfort left to offer you, no love I’m willing to give, I’ve learnt years ago that you will always ask for what you can’t return.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYBut maybe, We don’t need to be whole to be complete, maybe the fact that we are all a little unfinished is what makes us so alluring, so human.
JULIA KELLOGG HENRYWriting saved my life when it all became too much. I poured my pain out into poetry I let the paper absorb everything I’d been holding on for years.
