“Grief has manners now.
It knocks, waits by the door.
Leaves notes instead of breaking in.
Sometimes I open it a crack,
just to say, “I haven’t forgotten.”
It nods.
And sits with me quietly, like an old friend.”
― A Shelf of Things I Never Said

“There is a kind of silence only hospitals understand, the kind that stands in the hallway after you hear 'we did our best' the kind that follows you home, sits at your table and eats with you for the rest of your life.”

“How I sometimes wish to pull you closer and kiss you to oblivion.
Other times all I want is to write you a letter.”

“No one told me
that bitterness can grow on trees
and still feel like home.”

“Some loves are beautiful on their own but ruin each other in the same breath.
How coffee and strawberries aren’t meant to belong to the same spoon.
Just meant to make you feel alive in opposite corners of the same morning.”
