I dream of you often
At night
In the day.
.
My love for you,
Not reciprocated
I know and feel
This all too well.
.
But my love is not
Dependent on yours
As true love never is.
.
I want what I cannot have
It hurts my heart.
Tears fall.
.
You cannot be
What I want you to be.
My heart sighs. Continue reading

Poem – Lost, Now Found
So lost
In the abyss
Darkness
Garden of evil
.
She stumbled
Broken steps
Paralysing fear
Lost in dark fog
.
She tiptoes now
As darkness dissipates
Clearing vision
Fog lifting Continue reading
Yes, my eyes seem distant
I am no longer present
I have gone away
To my safe place
.
A place of love and integrity
Where I smile and laugh freely
Where my soul is nourished
Where I am accepted
.
Where I am held
Comforted
Without selfish intent Continue reading
I write poetry sometimes. I have nearly always has a good reaction when I’ve shared it, but sometimes people choose to criticise, choose to demean it.
Which is simply a reflection of their own issues.
I will keep writing, as I need to for me, and I know it does help others.
Poem – Solitary Bird
Strange solitary bird
Always was, will always be
Flying alone
Flying free
.
Surviving all weathers
Storms, gales & rain
Surviving chaos
Time and again.
.
No escaping their weathers
Forever unrelenting
Challenging painful climates
Never seem to be ending
.
Needing to seek safety
By staying alone
Seeking refuge within
Little world of her own
Poem……. Please don’t leave me, I’m begging you ~ Lilly Hope Lucario
Please don’t leave me
I’m begging you
.
Please, please forgive me
For all I have done wrong
All I said wrong
For saying you hurt me
I will be compliant
Please forgive me
.
I will try to be
What you want
.
I will try to do
What you want
.
I will try to say
What you want
.
Please don’t leave me
I’m begging you
.
I will let you hurt me
And be what you want
I wrote this poem while I was away..

Poem – Jesus, Alone
A lifetime of fearing alone
Now no longer lonely
Peace and tranquillity
In isolation and withdrawal
.
Always so scared
Of Being Alone
Now cherished and valued
Strength within solitude
.
Learning to cherish, enjoy
The beautiful freedom, of alone
Not needing people, only Jesus
Growth, maturity and healing
.
Peace is not found in other people
It is only found in the depths explored
Of one’s own inner soul
In the presence and peace giving gift
.
Of Jesus, alone.
Tense
Motionless
Hopeless
Blankly staring
Ahead
Sombre sea
Mournful horizon
Gloomy future
Reality
.
Dreams
Yearned needs
Hopes
Love
Safety
Trust
Drowning
.
Despair
Agony
I watch them drown
Disappear
Beyond my grasp
Sinking down
Into murky darkness
Until I see them
No more
.
Funereal sea
Death
All I ever wanted.
.
Gone.
Poem – You Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It ~ Lilly Hope Lucario
Is this my life
Trapped, until I die?
No peace, no love
But many lies
.
Is this my lot
This lonely, dark pit?
Yes, you made your bed
Now lie in it
.
But I need love
Security and trust
Tough, this is it
Accept it, you must
.
Tip toe around
Don’t voice your needs
Think of everyone else
Only their needs, to feed
.
But my needs never mattered
And they don’t, still?
No, you made your choices
It was your free will
.
But, I’ve only recently
Processed it all
I was harming myself
Still am, I bawl
.
Tough luck, too late
Choices were made
You will have to suffer
Alone, unloved, afraid
.
You worked it out too late
Your fate is sealed
Continued harm
Abusers’ internalised yield
.
So, I have no choice
I sob, this is it?
Yes, you made your bed
And you WILL lie in it.
.
~ Lilly Hope Lucario
