oh how you whispered
sweet honeyed lies in my ear
now you’ve left and
you say:
‘girl, you’ll learn to love again’
let me swallow these sickly sweet
saccharine pills
candy-coated lips and
sugar-crusted tongue
belly full
left unsatisfied
wanting more because
it’s something
anything at all
better than being
empty

My musings, and what I've learned so far on the journey. Interesting perhaps only to me. But maybe you too.
This is beautiful! 🙂

I love that EC. I sort of said something like that to my ex-husband. Fortunately we are friends and he knows I genuinely mean it.

Yes, I’ve been here. Learning that empty is not so bad. Or maybe that I am already full. ❤️
