Trust the process. Let go.

[c-h-guthrie]

right now I am in an inbetween state

in between loving you

picking up the pieces

and contentment in being alone with myself

I think back and remember all of our good times

tinged with scorch marks from fires we called passion

but the passion turned into something we both couldn’t contain

it burned blue and white with angry words and empty apologies

singeing our hearts and burning our tongues as they passed our lips

until we couldn’t taste the love anymore

but without those fires

my tongue has been tasting things it has long since missed

my grandmother's cooking

the words to my favourite songs

the mouth ache you get from smiling so hard

and the love that I thought I would never get to feel again

so i’ll taste it and savour it and cherish it

then swallow it

it will live in my heart to remind me

that love is still beautiful

despite the current absence of it

“chains wrap my ankles

they’re there of my own volition

for I am the owner of my fate

and I am the only one that can

set myself free

- sometimes you are the only one in your way”

“you escaped chaos

finding refuge between my thighs

and peace within my embrace

for you know

you have a home within me

always”

your lips on mine

so gentle and sweet

it felt like

I was finally home

[c-h-guthrie]

I knew we were going to end

when the bed felt colder with you

than without you

still figuring it all out, and that’s okay

a part of my photography poem mixtures

[c-h-guthrie]

it’s taken me a long time to even consider watching this movie, knowing how much emotional significance this has for me. All I know is I need to feel, instead of blocking my feelings. I want to let go.

[theshwritings]

My heart jumped Into the

Bottomless ocean

Because it couldn't

Take it anymore

It gave up

And

Hit the ground

But

My body was on the shore

Hoping that it would

Return.

Her

I wonder,

If she feels,

The shivers,

That I felt;

When your hands,

Whispered,

To my skin.

a letter to the one whom I still love, I hope that you learn to become vulnerable and nourish your inner child...I know how hard it is for you to be alone, so I don’t blame you for finding someone new. I just can’t watch.

[c-h-guthrie]

don’t you know the ones incapable of being alone are destined to be lonely

[c-h-guthrie]

drawing isn’t the best but it’s what I came up with for this

[c-h-guthrie]

and if you knew how she made it, you’d understand

[c-h-guthrie]

loving him after he leaves you

will not make him love you again

shutting yourself off to love

will not make him come back

being his “friend”

will not make him want to be your lover

so if he wants to leave

you have to master the art of letting go

- let the gone, stay gone
