Your Integrity isn’t worth much
If Pride keeps you from apologizing
Or Fear lets you justify hurting someone…

Petites Pensées
Petites Pensées ~ Casual Cruelty
The effort of this passive-aggressive … it’s staggering
So when you’ve ignored me so hard that I’m bleeding internally,
Don’t be surprised when you find that this… friendship… has flatlined

Petites Pensées ~ What Might Have Been
Another of those very rare dreams about you last night
Let me be clear, this isn’t me pining, not in the least
It does strike me as rather sad though
Two people who once had so much to say to each other
Can’t find it in their hearts to observe even the social courtesies
Using technology instead of words
Maintaining the most tenuous of connections
Where once the sound of each other’s voices
Was the only sound our hearts could hear

Petites Pensées ~ Just Do It
Apropos of nothing specific, just on my mind
How much nicer would the world be
How much needless hurt and resentment gone
If only humans would rediscover the lost art of personal responsibility
The simple fact of owning that you did something wrong
instead of blaming the bus, the fax machine, the dude next door
Just say, “I messed up and I’m sorry”, “It was my mistake and I apologize”

Petites Pensées ~ Come Too Far
I don’t think it’s too much to ask
To be someone’s priority
I won’t put my life on hold
To be an afterthought

Petites Pensées
My words may now seem more rare and few
I simply choose to share the best with you
Who else would understand the shape and sound
Of words formed in my heart a lifetime ago
Traced onto yours with tentative hope

Petites Pensées
No words can possibly convey
This depth of union
This sweet abandon
This ordained reunion
Sharing every inch of our souls

Petites Pensées ~ Picture Perfect
My imagination is captured every time I see it
Your long, strong fingers
Casually wrapped around a frosty glass
Beads of water move slowly downward
The sinuous paths urge my thoughts similarly
And I wonder how those fingers would feel
Tenderly stroking my heated skin

Petites Pensées ~ Lonely
I think Introverts have a different definition of lonely.
It’s not that we feel alone without people.
It’s that we feel lost without the people who we understand to have defined us.
