My darling niece. She looks up at me with pondering blue eyes. Confused and comfortable in one look. “Her face is sort of right, but its not mummy” she thinks. So there she goes, concerned, Her face scrunching and then softening like she’s making up her mind. A soft voice reaches out to her fromContinue reading “My darling niece”

Apologies for Yesterday
Would you give me a moment to say that I’m sorry for yesterday’s sadness and the night that was lonely. Would you give me a moment to explain what I can of the uncertainty I feel and then hope you understand. Apologies for yesterday, I think I’ll get better Soon I’ll move past this andContinue reading “Apologies for Yesterday”
I Look to You
For a second you were here. For a second that beautiful smell of that perfume wasn’t the brunette sitting opposite me in a beanie hat, it was you, next to me, dressed up on our way into London for a night out. God that smell, I miss it so much. I close my eyes andContinue reading “I Look to You”

Stay
I am trying so hard Not to want to be in your arms, And for the weeks that feel like forever I will pray that we are together, Because you mean so much more Than whatever I’m searching for, And I don’t know if it’s real But whatever I feel, I feel. I will seeContinue reading “Stay”
The Night Shift
Tiredness lurks in every cell of my body, Yet I am forcing my eyes to stay seeing, my ears to stay hearing and my heart to stay beating, For I have left you in the midst of my slumber and the start of your waking, Yet I am not ready to leave for an unconsciousContinue reading “The Night Shift”
To a Friend
It seems like the world is running away, And leaving you here, lonely, to stay. But I promise you that more is coming In each morning sunrise, smiling, breathing. For those who want more for another than they do for themselves, Will never be left in silent dwell, But will be given a home inContinue reading “To a Friend”
