Sometimes falling in love can be the end of you. I wrote this piece remembering how fragile love can be and how temporary it can feel. Sometimes the people who claim to love you are the people who should have left you alone.
This poem emphasise what it feels like for many women when they walk alone. I originally wrote the piece as a way of contextualising my feeling in regard to the Sarah Everard case; I didn’t post it at that time simply because it felt too soon. After sitting on this piece and adding it into my chapbook (Hear Me Scream) I’m finally ready to add my voice to it.
Confusing lust and love can ruin you if you let it. In this poem, I try and touch upon the moment I saw the truth between me and a lover. Like most things in like, nature has the perfect simile for this moment.
The Longest Walk is a short story of Mia’s graduation ceremony. With emotions running wild, friendships at an end and never ending speeches, will she every make it across that stage?
Please enjoy my first poem post of many. This piece is something I wrote when trying to let go of a person I loved. For each moment of our relationship, I wrote poem after poem; it only felt right to end with one as well.
