I am only good
at being on knees
when I am worshiping
you
-- heaven cast me out by Abby S

I want to love you
and not be terrified
of it, of you
of what it could change
but I would love you poorly
if I loved with anything less than my full heart
and I would love you wrongly
if I didn't cherish each piece of you
please give me time
if you can grant me patience
I am creature of selfishness and fear
and you make me want to be brave
but casting off the long played roles
is more difficult than anything I have tried
but I swear
one day my lips will tell you all
-- until then, I am always half honest by Abby S

the days I love myself
are few and far between
for the world moves so fast
that I am unable to notice
when I have gained something precious
when I have learned something new
everyone I once loved has disappeared
and nothing new has filled the emptiness
All I have is yearning
this bitter brittle feeling in my bones
and no place to direct it
_ the days after a hurricane by Abby S

You are like the tide
rushing forward, pulling back
and my heart is a moon
orbiting around you

"if you want it hard enough
a chance is all you need"
I said, sitting in a car
with you beside me
as we drove to fight another battle
and my eyes flicked to yours through the mirror
and somehow it didn't matter that I was getting caught
up in you while still on camera
red alert, red alert
I have to pull back
red alert, red alert
because all I can see is the way you make me vulnerable
so maybe this can be something
quiet and wonderful
because when we lock eyes
the world only exists so I can see your face
stronger by abby s

all my roots have been ripped up
and I'm clinging to my last one
but I might have to dig it up
and pack it away
because life doesn't stop going forward
and I'll find better things ahead
but there's spite and sadness and restlessness
that doesn't go away
maybe I can grasp the light better
maybe my roots are scattered so I know how to plant them stronger
I can hear the sounds and see the bare trees this December
so much clearer than I did before
so maybe I closed my fist around myself
but thank god, I didn't shatter it
the clouds are out but I have made myself warm by Abby S

I wish I had listened
to the part of me
that whispered
"run"
the scarring on my heart
would have been so bad
I think I would be able to
recognize it
once I finally managed
to claw it back
from the box I'd given
you
like you'd taken a knife to the
bruised and healing parts
left a bloody gash
that I can't heal on my own
why didn’t I see the signs by Abby S

hey guys
so I know I haven’t been posting much, if anything recently. There’s two reasons for that:
one) graduating college, thesis, covid
two) all my writing energy went into writing a 167k Austen-esque BDSM romance novel. I just posted it on ao3 - https://archiveofourown.org/works/27659402/chapters/67682801
would love to hear your thoughts, I miss you and I’m excited to hopefully be sharing poetry again soon

I'll wait for you, darling
because you saw me
scared and lonely
and thought
"I want to learn you"
and you did
because you know my fears
you know the ways I want to be touched
you know my heart
(do you know that you've rewritten them)
(do you know that my body jumps at your fingertips?)
(do you know that my heart is now beating in your chest)
Time has nothing on us
and neither do the stars
I’ll holler “no” at the universe every day until you come back by Abby S
