Taking a long overdue mental health vacation. I will check in when I can.
We shared a running joke
That luck was never on our side
But my skies are getting brighter
While you withdraw and hide
Our worlds both crashed and crumbled
Rugs ripped out beneath our feet
Repeatedly, that feeling taught us
Not to miss a beat
Some believe our thoughts
Can manifest themselves
So I stopped believing luck exists
To save me from myself
The beauty of destruction
Is that the brokenness leaves room
For light to find its way in
Allowing seeds of love to bloom
We shared a running joke
That luck was never on our side
The more I look around me
The more I think that it’s a lie
I surrendered to the chaos
Allowed myself to feel the pain
And finally my seeds are sprouting
Nurtured by the rain
Some believe our thoughts
Can manifest themselves
If that’s the case, my darling
You bring your luck upon yourself
Seems I’m always on the move
Once again my world upended
But I never missed a beat
I think I finally found my rhythm
We shared a running joke
That luck was never on our side
I’m here moving on without you
While you withdraw and hide
Our worlds both crashed and crumbled
Rugs ripped out beneath our feet
I thought this time you’d catch me
But instead you missed the beat
Some believe our thoughts
Can manifest themselves
It's impossible to love someone
If you can’t love yourself
I found a lucky coin last night
While cleaning before I moved
In case our paths might cross again
I saved it just for you.

These lines are truly amazing and insightful! This is outstanding work Hannah.
Thank you Coyote for the positive feedback yet again 🙂
You can only do just so much for someone when they won't do for themselves what they need to do. Eventually the time comes to move on and wish them well. Believing in oneself is key to having faith in oneself. Great write Hannah 👍
Thank you Accidental Poet, sadly that's been the toughest lesson for me to learn. But I think I'm finally there. I greatly appreciate the kind words 🙂
Creative and well expressed ... like how it flows ! 🙂
Yellowrose, thank you for the kind words my friend!
