Ignorant Heart
Years of life given in the blitz of loveSweltering in your arms, my heart encasedProtected and in comfort it was heldWhen all else seemed to fade away, you stayed. Under a myriad of stars, each night adoredIntertwining branches of an oak, stood mightyTwo constants in time with sweetness of wordsHeld together by currents in anContinue reading “Ignorant Heart”
Love Made Me Do It
I was running. Running so fast I could barely feel my breath as it entered and left my lungs. Running so fast that my head throbbed with blood and made my vision foggy. “What have i done?”I lay flat on the ground, the wetness on the street seeping through my clothes and cooling my back.Continue reading “Love Made Me Do It”

Apologies for yesterday, I think I’ll get better Soon I’ll move past this andContinue reading “Apologies for Yesterday”

All the same
These days are far away from the last time that we met, I rushed to meet you with my bad jeans on, a jumper and hair still wet. It wasn’t the same, and it was like that for a while, but I always miss your face, your eyes and your smile. At that point thenContinue reading “All the same”
As strong as her
LR was the first patient that made me feel like I was actually a nurse. She needed me and I, in some ways, needed her. She gave me confidence and hope and strength. Gosh, the strength of that woman you couldn’t believe. LR had lymphoma, the third life threatening cancer she has encountered in herContinue reading “As strong as her”
