The gut punch

The explosion in my chest that mimics yours

When we are aligned my body buzzes with a fierceness that will bring any woman to her knees

I know this journey is ours to keep

But how do I separate my reality?

I twist and turn inside my own flesh just trying to keep my distance

You’re not mine to have

I am not yours

Yet we are the same

Two magnets desperately pulling towards one another only to find out we’ve got our facings wrong

Together, apart, always connected

When you are steady, I am whole

When I am well, you are healed

As it was many lifetimes before now it will be for every lifetime here after

The halves of our soul will find their way

As I watch the snow melting off the rooftop, I have an unexplainable knowing

A knowing that pulsates more and more with every tik of the clock

Our fates are growing

But now is not our time.

I am forced to resist the pull of your deep dark eyes

Eyes that match mine, keeping me safe inside

Damaged in union.

Mullets and Cheetah Print

Turned down blue eyes catch me in the corner of the room "Follow me into disaster" they say Out of the dimly lit basement and up to the top of the hill Where we isolate amongst 2 hearts, the highlife, and unkempt mattresses Sloppy teenage recklessness consumes our motives But Oh! Isn't it so beautiful? So sincere are our 3am kisses through till dawn But... as quickly as we go up we must come down Those same turned down blue eyes can't even look at me now The lack of choice was made to leave me collapsed on the treebelt That night 2 hearts spiraled away from one another Leaving a scar carved in the place where those glimmers used to live Time will inevitably heal us The scars, becoming warm reminders of our magnetic ways A snapshot of a life that could never be Yet will always live on Written by Samantha Gendreau

Timing is Everything

 It is in these hardest moments that the purest love shines through Broken open and raw with no where to go yet all the opportunities at your fingertips  No matter the time i will hold my hand out for you Not blindly waiting for anything that will cross my path but patiently providing stability to the soul who embraces me in a way that only the cosmos could understand  When i feel like a fool on the edge of a cliff Somehow the tests get overcome and the lessons become learned I try desperately to explain it with as many words as my pen can put on paper but none of it truly brings it justice Reality throws me curves like the side of my body laying still as I dream of your brilliant hands tracing it Time means nothing when it comes to this and that I firmly believe. So let me hold your hand at any cost because i want to be the one to help you up. Written by Samantha Gendreau

Oktober

  The darkness eats away at me Minute by minute Day by day In a constant search for the bright white light of life, I get pulled back inward. It's not that I don't see the sun shining through my windowpane Or that I don't feel the way the breeze whispers through the trees on a magical October day. It's that I feel it all... the beauty, the magic, the life, the death, the sadness, the pain All of it. Rushing through my veins with an intensity that plagues me. Someone else walking by me on the street, I get punched in the gut by their struggles. I see a new mother cradling her baby, and I cry her tears, not mine.  I am cursed. My curse is my own and for only me to harness.  And I must or else I will be trapped by it. There is light within me, I know.  Enough that it shall never get snuffed out. And for that I am grateful but growing tiresome of constant struggle within myself. I live everyday half in the light and half in the dark With each passing day, one w...
