Hi everyone,
Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty! Happy Valentine's Day <3 I am sending you lots of love & sensual energies.
Monday
I wrote this poem listening to 'Yesterday’ by J Dilla. I hadn't heard of him till earlier in the day when I read this poem by Rudy Francisco called ‘J Dilla’. I’ll include it below. The poem struck my heart so I went on spotify and 'Yesterday’ was the first thing I played. I’ve also attached the song below! Listening to it, it kind of feels like there's something breaking forth, like bursting open or this yearning. I hope you enjoy the poem <3

It’s funny, sometimes you think you’ve let go but there's a flash of a memory and it's like you’re still back there. In the heartbreak. But emotions pass and I’m a different person, stronger.
Thursday
trigger warning for suicidal ideation.

I am saving myself for something holy. I know what I want :)
