All I’m Sayin’ Is…🫦

Tonight feels
no better
than last night.

I used to love
the nighttime
—tucking the kids into bed,
turning on some music,
letting the house settle into quiet.

Back then,
night meant rest.

Peace.

Now,
I lay down
and my mind
immediately
runs
to the people I love.

Sometimes
that’s a sweet thing,
don’t get me wrong.

But
when you miss someone,
it can turn into torture.

The silence gets heavy.

The memories get loud.

So tonight,
instead
of sitting in that ache,
I’m choosing
to pour myself
into my book.

To let
the writing hold me,
and maybe
lose myself in those thoughts
for a while.

I hope you’re resting peacefully 🕊️
