Surpassed
A poem about being eclipsed
Elements of darkness and light
Carouse through empty rooms
Lingering in each doorway
Inspired by your absence.
Please don’t lie that you did this for me.
She is new and hopeful and loved, I know—
Everything I used to be.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
