Now if only at my worst had I known I was about to be at my best.
RHIANNON JANAENow if only at my worst had I known I was about to be at my best.
RHIANNON JANAEWith you, I’ve found my permanent home.
RHIANNON JANAETo the girl I used to be I appreciate you for a seed won’t bloom without its soil.
RHIANNON JANAEI love to watch you become everything she said you couldn’t be.
RHIANNON JANAEThe most peace I’ve ever felt was from letting you go.
RHIANNON JANAEThat night I fought and I fought but your hold was stronger yet I knew even your hands could not hurt me more than your love has.
RHIANNON JANAEAnd even in my waking hours, I still dream of you.
RHIANNON JANAEShe reminds me of sunflowers when she faced the light she bloomed.
RHIANNON JANAEYou pull me from my roots and dry me out but with these tears, I bloom again.
RHIANNON JANAEAnd so she left, whereas then, she realized that just because she was planted here, does not mean here is where she has to grow.
RHIANNON JANAEHe never deserved her and the empty pillow where her head used to rest tells him that every night.
RHIANNON JANAEI’m a prisoner with no charge a sack of bones in varnished flesh walking around hoping somebody will root me.
RHIANNON JANAEShe burns like hot water then tastes like sweet tea.
RHIANNON JANAEOur body is our home and how I saw you treat your home I should have known that’s how you would treat my body.
RHIANNON JANAEYou’re my crescent moon not perfect but beautiful.
RHIANNON JANAEAt night when I can’t sleep, I imagine I’m a sunflower trying to find the light to nourish my growth.
RHIANNON JANAE
