  • He Was There, But Not With Me

    Some love doesn’t leave with slammed doors or final words. It stays like a ghost, breathing in rooms where it doesn’t belong. This is for anyone who’s ever had someone stand close enough to touch — but never truly be there at all.

    He was there,
    but not with me.
    His body — a shadow draped across the bed,
    breathing in my air,
    but giving none back.

    He stared through walls,
    eyes fixed on a place I couldn’t follow,
    and I learned then
    the sharpest kind of loneliness
    is the one that wears familiar hands.

    Love shouldn’t feel
    like waiting for the same heart
    to show up twice.

    This poem lives inside my book Rage & Rise: The Goddess Spoke Back, a collection for every woman who’s ever burned quietly, then rose loud.

  • Reflection: On Silence and What It Teaches

    Silence used to terrify me. I filled it with apologies, explanations, too many words trying to patch the air before it cracked. But silence doesn’t wait for our panic to pass. It sits there, patient, holding its ground.

    I learned that not all silences are empty. Some carry the weight of things unsaid. Others become the softest room to lay your tired heart down in. When someone walks away, their silence will cut. When you finally stop chasing, your silence will heal.

    There’s a difference between being ignored and choosing quiet. One leaves you hollow. The other leaves you whole.
