Breathing or Dying

Posted on April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 by Erin B.
She was the sort
to fall for
people who ran away.
Love is
a variable so wild
it can feel like breathing
or dying.

to bring happiness.
Only your heart

for growth.

Bears The Blame

Posted on October 22, 2022October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
People criticize a woman
who gives up love,
yet no one criticizes the man
for the same story.
The woman bears the blame
in love and life.

Illusion

Posted on May 31, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
I reflect at the people under
the spell of illusion,
they start the day confident and speak
with self-assurance
but have no power.

Run Madly

Posted on July 21, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Do not sit
instead,
run madly
in a crowd of busy people.
It is so easy to drift
and rush, or rather,
flail
in aimless routine.
