ALMA-MAY NOABroken wings may be grounded now, but they will taste freedom again.
ALMA-MAY NOAThis heaviness inside my bones tells me, I still carry the weight of loving you.
ALMA-MAY NOATo be looked at and not found wanting —how beautiful to be enough.
ALMA-MAY NOAAll the scars I hide fearfully, you see; counting them carefully with your lips, and telling me they are beautiful.
ALMA-MAY NOAYou were consumed in running away from yourself, and I was just another way for you to get lost.
ALMA-MAY NOAI breathe out light pleasing, soft, and warm – I’m still learning to breathe out fire.
ALMA-MAY NOAIn the pause between your breaths and the space between your heartbeats, I think I heard forever.
ALMA-MAY NOAThe light of your love touches me in the hidden depths of my lonely soul. And I know beyond a single doubt, I am safe within your hold.
ALMA-MAY NOAI breathe in the first glimmers of freedom – it tastes of sweet hopefulness.
ALMA-MAY NOAHold me even closer than your shadow holds the dark; leave me in no doubt your arms are home.
ALMA-MAY NOAAlthough my heart has broken a thousand times, it has never lost its capacity for love.
ALMA-MAY NOAHealing was not found in mending my brokenness, but in finding peace among the pieces.
ALMA-MAY NOAAnd all I wish is that your happiness would reach beneath the surface of your skin, grow deep roots, and bloom.
ALMA-MAY NOAAnd you have fast become my weakness, even as you remain my source of strength.
ALMA-MAY NOAAnd love stopped being love when it began to feel like a trap, instead of freedom.
ALMA-MAY NOAHer thoughts are poetry, sheer beauty to behold, pay attention when she gives you a glimpse.
