Don’t Stay
Don’t stay.
You can survive on your own.
You don’t need him.
You are capable without her.
If he puts you down, walk away.
If she hurts you again, shut that door.
Walk away.
Don’t stay.
Get out of town.
Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.
Do it for him.
Do it for her.
Most of all, do it for you.
Don’t stay.

Protection
You cover me with so much love.
You have helped me feel safe.
Making sure there is a balance so I can still feel independent and gain more self-confidence, in my own space.
Yet, however you can, you protect me.
You keep me covered and safe through all of the storms.
Wherever I go, I know you will be close.
Near or far, you are always there.
Thank you, you have become my safe space.
I didn’t know how much I needed you until I finally found you.
Now here we are, so far, yet closer than ever before.

Sit with Me at Sunset
Today day has been another one of those long, dreary days.
I watched you as you pushed through until the tail-end of an overly draining day.
The waves are calling, I hear them rumble.
The sun is setting, I feel the coldness starting to set in.
The sky is turning into layers of deep shades of orange.
I know of a place that we could go and watch the rest this day fade away.
Come with me, we can listen to the waves rumble, and smell the welcoming salty sea air.
Sit with me at sunset, we can watch the day turn into night.
Sit with me, we can watch the daylight fade away.
Tomorrow is on its way.
Lets go sit and watch all the colors and let the rest of today just melt away.

North Beach
Your beauty captivated me.
I longed for warmth, for the touch of the sun-rays.
Searching for a place to be at peace, a place that could take me away.
I was guided to your shores, locals told me about you directed me your way.
Driving through the streets of Port Townsend, I felt anxious, hoping you would be the right place.
Time was passing by so quickly, I tried to keep driving at a steady pace.
It was getting colder and the darkness was coming in, it was starting to take over.
All alone, trying to let someone go, I sought out your expansive waters to watch the sunset glow.
You helped me heal, like a helping hand.
You became like a dear old friend.
Stepping onto your sands, I felt like myself again.
You lead me to a place of mesmerizing beauty, full of peace.
The loss of love is never easy, but walking through your waters made it feel much easier, at least for the end of that difficult day.
A night alone with you, watching the sunset sky, as it drifted away, turned out to be all I needed.
Thank you, North Beach, you gave me a kind of love that is, in my opinion, much more ideal than the love I lost, a love that I thought was something that was real.

Timeless
Your presence, it grounded me, yet it also gave me wings.
You were far, yet you felt so near.
I saw your scars and felt your tears.
Your energy was freeing, it made me feel like I was riding on the waves.
You were new to me, yet your timeless beauty and wise old soul was like nothing I had ever seen.
How did you lose so much of yourself?
Over time, I guess we all do.
It feels like through many ages, that I have known you, yet it has been only minutes, and hours, not even a day, not just yet.
You stand there, by the waves, feeling it all, taking it all in.
I am so astounded by you.
There is so much to learn from you.
Now I keep finding myself wondering, where I would have gone, what I would have done, had I not taken that chance.
Yet, here we are, so close, yet still so far away.
-M.
Waiting for You
I waited for you, then I decided to search for you.
For years I looked.
For years I tried.
I finally found you, but it wasn’t the right time.
You wanted to come to me, but you just weren’t quite ready.
Its okay.
I will wait for you.
I can keep waiting, until the time is right, until you are ready.
Until then, I will be watching the sunrise and set, walking along the beaches, feeling the breeze, wishing you were here with me.
Until we meet again, I will hold you dearly, in my memory.
-M.
Waiting
There was a time when I would wait for almost anyone.
I would let them lead me, guide me and tell me what was what.
Now you are the only one I will wait for.
You are the only one I can trust.
You heal me.
You give me what I need without asking for anything back.
There is no control.
There is no pain.
There is only love.
Only peace and healing.
Thank you for being you, and allowing me to be me.
-M.
Sunset to Sunrise
Sun, when you fall, I don’t know what to do.
I want to catch you in my hands, and set you back into place, among those brightly colored clouds, in that ever present sky.
The colors that you bring, when you set, are unbelievable.
Then, again, when you rise, I am in awe.
You bring beauty and life, for us all.
The colors sing to my eyes.
My soul feels the joy of each night and new morning, sky.
Yet, I still feel as though, when you fall, I must catch you.
I watch as you decent and disappear, to who knows where.
There are stories of the sea taking you, but they must just be tales.
For you wake us up each morning with your glowing breath of life.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I am grateful for you, for all that you do.
Sun, thank you.
I love you, I really, truly do.
-M.
