...one week has come & gone.

we are still waiting, little Bunny.

thank you for letting Daddy & I get lots and lots done before your arrival,

but we are very much ready to meet you.

mommy loves you so much already it's ridiculous.

xo.

..one more week.

it finally snowed here yesterday.

it snowed & snowed & snowed.

today marks our 39th week and what more perfect way to celebrate than

to wake up to 13'' of fresh snow, and pancakes with my favorite person ever.

soon we will be a little trifecta of love.

xx.

The Greatest News Ever.

This is the sweetest little creature to ever cross my path.

(Yes, the Mister & I are expecting. This beautiful baby will be in our arms come January 3rd.)

...I've been keeping a secret...

& it's been sewn tight, locked up safe within my heart just waiting for the right moment.

the tale of the exploding heart.

love is hard

love ain't kind,

love can shake you

make you blind.

listen here i'll say some truth

you were much softer in your youth

run from love and hide your heart

if you fall into it

you won't know the end from the start.

thank you for teaching me the definition of false.

i know our days are numbered

& soon help will come,

just try to make this work, Dear,

pretend i'm The One.

it's the rain that falls reminding

me i have made my mistakes

and thank you for trying to hide

what i should not take...

& thank you for complying

with all my strange requests

i'll keep this to myself and quiet

the bird singing in my chest.

try to not hate me, Love,

'cause i'll be gone so very soon,

we never lied, sure as hell tried,

but we will never to each other

be True.

ends bends & things that whiskey mends.

i watched a man walk down the road

and he was talking like he was rehearsing

a final goodbye.

i got my things, drank your whiskey

& left the necklace you gave me and drove away.

no plans of answering your call

or your whys,

didn't you know from the start

i was never good at goodbyes?

& these days I've been going back to my roots---dirty hair & hands howlin' at the moon and all.

she's a real WonderLand Wanderer.

xo,

Hb

the bed we don't make.

i found a piece of space

it may be small

& it may not be mine

but it's where i finally feel safe,

and when you look at me

you see all of me

not just a pretty face

you see the dirt

and you see the scars

you see it all and you call it ours.

we laugh at the sun

as it tries it's best

to wake us from

our perfect nest

but we have no care

& we have no clue

where we'll go from here

so we stay in bed for another day

and say all's fair...

tomorrow will show us what to do,

& we'll find our way ---

i know it could be a great one with you....

chalk it up to a detour until meantime

the writing's on the wall

i know you can't see it,

but Darling, trust me

it's down the hall

just a few more steps

& you'll read

that you and i simply cannot be,

maybe momentarily---

but definitely not for eternity.

[...]

on second though

let's sit & talk

look at the words they're only chalk

and it comes down unwanted goodbyes

know those lines disappear

with the help of our un-dry eyes.

for now we should leave alone

those stars in their skies,

not ask whys

and just live off our newfound happy sighs.

two sides/one coin.

It's that just lately...I see both side of the coin. A symmetric display of either/or, this or that, and the options are quite rattling.

I'm liking the view.

I'm controlling my urges.

I'm making better choices.

I am seeing the beauty & sadness all in a glance.

The beginning and end all on one page..

[...]

It is like a broken abandoned piano and all the time in the world to bring back it's song.

xx,

Hb

maybe, May baby..yes indeed honey, it's getting sunny.

it's written on my heart

the story of us from end to start...

I just know it.

I feel it in my bones like I feel the sun wanting to stay up late & play but damn that moon and the man in it for that matter...

Spring promises big things,

& I am ready.

the days drag like a last cigarette

i only save a few words

kept safe in place i let no one,

but you.

they're pure,

and they are sacred

every single one of them true.

unlike so many things

i let slip through my soul

like a sieve,

i have become a clouded muddied version

of what you remember of me

my heart a flooded river

with nothing left to give.

it's been years

too many emptied beers

& cheap back alley souvenirs.

and i've tried to call

to tell you that i am sorry,

& i'm okay,

and alone.

but you don't recognize my voice

& hang up the phone.

so i swallow another sunset

& chase it with tears

falling from blue eyes gone gray

shattered like a thousand mirrors.

this is 3am promises

and last cigarettes,

this is life when you forget you're way home,

because it's hidden in your chest.

My feet got that get-up-&-go-now-feeling again.

I wish someone could just hand me one already...
