“Healing is not a straight path
But a crooked road
Where every step counts,
Teaching us to honor our journey,
Even the missteps.
For nature shows that healing takes time
No matter how slow
Just like the seasons,
It takes time to bloom again”
― Marjory Qwen, From Scars to Stars: Pieces of a Healing Heart

“The bird asked the tree,
“How do you heal from
a broken heart?”

The tree replied,
“You don’t heal.
Like my leaves,
They come and go.
You wait for the winds to rise,
So they can carry away
All that weighted you down,
Making space
For new growth.”

“People often say that true love always finds its way back.

Yet, in the depths of my heart.
I hold the believe
that our love was indeed true.
Still, our paths, it seems,
are destined to remain parallel,
Never to converge again.
And so,
I release you to live in peace,
Knowing that what we shared
was indeed true love.

But true love doesn’t always mean it will come back.”
― Marjory Qwen, From Scars to Stars: Pieces of a Healing Heart

“The star asked the sky,
“Why do the olive trees
blame the desert roses for drinking the rain,
and why do the desert roses
blame the olive trees
for reaching so deep into the soil?”

The sky replied,
“Because both are longing
for a place to belong, 
yet neither will find peace
in soil or rain alone.
For roots without truth
grow restless,
and religion without love
turns to hate”.

The star whispered,
“Will they ever see the truth?”
The sky looked down at the earth, 
and said,
“Only when they lift their eyes 
to the Prince of Peace.

Only then will they remember:
 they were created
in the same garden.”

“In a world of swipes and likes,
She is a love letter kind of girl.
She doesn’t need pearls or fancy dinners;

Just a bottle of whiskey,
A car radio, and a blanket
Beneath the stars.”

“Maybe healing
isn’t about becoming
whole again.

Maybe it’s about creating
something beautiful
from the fragments that

“For me,
You’ll always be an endless love,
a tattoo I can’t wash away.
But to you, I’m just a fading memory,
a drawing that was easy to erase.

For me,
You’ll always be a treasure pearl,
jewels I can’t forsake.
But to you, I’m just a key,
a possession easily misplaced.

For me,
You’ll always be a song I keep singing,
even after our goodbye.
But to you, I’m just a lullaby;
you know the song but you forgot the line.

What was meant for me wasn’t meant for you.
And when my heart broke,
it didn’t just broke in two…”
― Marjory Qwen, From Scars to Stars: Pieces of a Healing Heart

“TRAUMA SAYS:
I am unlovable,
I wasn’t enough for him,
He left because he said I wasn’t worth loving.

HEALING SAYS:
I am lovable, just as I am.
I deserve a love that stays,
Even when it sees all of me

I was always enough
His leaving was never a reflection of my worth”

don’t chase closeness
that costs your peace.

Let go of friendships, family ties, or

“If God grands me another hello to you
May forgiveness be the first word,
And love our lasting companion

I hope you’re happy,
wherever you are —
even if it’s without me,

But I admit, it still hurts
But I pray that God is working on you
the way He’s been working on me.

I hope we meet again
as better versions of ourselves.
But till then,
I let go with love
and pray that life is gentle with you.

I no longer walk this road with you,
but I‘be found peace walking it with God
and I trust He’s leading me
exactly where I need to be — home.

Until that day comes,
I’ll carry love for you
And hope our paths cross again

maybe it will not be on this earth
But by the grace of God,
He’ll grand me my last wish —to find you in heaven.

They say love is never wasted,
and maybe if I see you there,
i’ll see God gently wiping every tear away.”

“i used to pluck petals from a single flower, whispering questions i was too afraid to ask. he loves me. he loves me not. over and over, hoping the last petal would tell me what i needed to hear. hoping that if i wished hard enough, i knew love would find me. but the petals fell; i was disappointed, but relieved that there was a garden full of other flowers to try again.

then i met you, and i think of us in reverse. at ten, i hold the flower you gave me. at nine, you pull the first petal. at eight, i wish for things to get better. at seven, you promise they will. at six, i start to doubt. at five, i feel the distance between us grow. at four, i realize i'm the only one holding on. at three, i whisper you love me not. at two, i wait for you to prove it wrong. at one, i let the stem slip from my fingers and walked away.

i am relieved, and disappointed-in the end, i wonder, after all this time, if you ever wished for me the way i wished for you.

you were the one flower i begged the petals to answer differently.”

His mercy stands
And when I forget
He writes it again in the sky”

“in the in-between
God met me
where the old me faded
and the new me trembled
and slowly i realized
home is not a place
but a heart held by Him
and by those i love”

“I know what it is
to be hated, rejected, betrayed
but I also know what it is
to be chosen, loved, redeemed
my story is not what they did to me
my story is what He did for me"

“In another realm, perhaps,
We’d find our way,
You’d be mine,
and I’d be yours.

We’d stroll along shores
kissed by moonlight’s embrace,
You’d be my North Star,
guiding me through the night,
And I’d be the echo
of your whispered dreams.

In that alternate reality,
You’d have chosen me
above all else,
No room
for doubt or hesitation,
Our love would surpass
the limits of time.

Yet, in this lifetime,
I’ll bear the weight of this ache,
Though with each passing year,
Gratitude slowly finds its place.

For I cherish the thought,
The privilege of once being yours.”
