Hope
Is a dangerous thing
Balancing
On gnashed teeth
The let downs hit harder
Than they used to
As time slips
Away faster than
I want to
The distance
Between where I am
And where I’ve been
Takes constant
Momentum
While
My blues and anxiety
Train daily
In an attempt
To outrun me.

I am filled with
Flowers and gratitude
That my limbs
Love me enough
To inspire movement
That my lungs
Know how much
Air I require
To be thankful
For every breath
That my heart
Loves the challenge
Of beating
Just
A
Little
Faster…

Dressing for that
Sunny disposition
That always seems
To escape me
I will find a cloud
To get lost in and
Dig up all
My painful memories
How do others move on
While I stand still?
Analyzing the wreckage
Has gotten me nowhere
How does a heart
That’s been betrayed
Heal?
How can you
Reach inside to find
The wound
Whispering
I promise
You’ll be safe here.

These wounds they say
That make us stronger
What do they do
In between
The rawness &
The scar tissue
How do we carry
Around
This aching flesh
Protecting it
From a world
That wants
To tear it apart
How do some of us
Recover
And others get
Consumed
What does survival
Look like to you?

I have never
Had a winter
So surrounded
By death
I should be
Thankful
For each
And every
Fucking
Breath
Still
I’m frozen
In memories
Of the past
Afraid to hold on
To anything too
Tightly
As the waves of grief
Ebb and flow
I feel tied
To an anchor
Unable to
Let go.
💫Amber Comber
I’m filing a nail that has been
Jagged for over 2 weeks now
I’m choosing to ride my bike
In the sunshine
Instead of doing the
Laundry and vacuuming
Like I should
Because
I leave for work in the dark
I come home in the dark
And I feel my life
Painfully
Passing me by
As I am just trying
To fucking
Survive
Winter always
Brings a heavy
Blanket of grief
And no time to
Process and rest
My aching bones
Beneath.
💫Amber Comber
I don’t remember
Much about that night
I do recall the tiles of light
That adorned my hips
Moving and stretching
With each frantic breath
Professing earnestly
That
I’ll love you harder
I promise
Dissolve you
Under my tongue
Like a sugar-cube
With the vow
Of sacred visions
In a jaded world
The past is dust
Let us create
For one another
What we never
Have before.
