Love

To learn how to love.
To learn how to be loved.

Feels like

Meaning

All
Worthwhile.

Red Rose Onion

I keep peeling back layers.
Deeper
Closer
More Tender.

Red Onion
Beautifully deep red.
Pricks my eyes

But each time my tears fall
I can breathe easier.

My shoulders feel lighter.

Red Red Onion
Deep red like a rose.

Makes my nose wrinkle
with both stench and sweetness.

Almost a Month

I turned around
and a month went by.

I really have no idea where it went.

Somewhere with the stars I'm sure.

I feel like life is surrounding me with tickling air.
Swirling.
Moving almost too fast.

Colors filling my vision.
Some hard to see.
Others brilliant.

I almost want to run away from it all.
But the delicious parts are too delicious.
And the scary parts are laced with lovely.
