"Growth"

As she stares into his eyes 

Filled with love and adoration 

She thinks back to a time when she dreamed of this destination 

As she sits

She’s still not satisfied 

Something missing from the bigger picture 

Digging deep into herself

There’s something missing deep within her 

As she sips her tea

Flavored of lavender and camomile 

And inhales the aroma gently 

She lets out a sigh of

“Finally alone time”

Her day filled with pleasing others 

Now honing in on the little things

To satisfy needs of her own

Peace, quiet, and stability 

A nice warm blanket is all she needs

Not even craving the touch of another 

Just soak in her pool of petals 

Sipping wine as she winds down 

As she stares into her reflection

It’s hard to fully grasp her presence 

Since harsh thoughts distort her vision 

Of what she really sees 

Affirmations of kind loving words

As she fakes it til she makes it 

Help her manifest brighter things 

Like self-love, self-compassion

Light and understanding 

That she’s a soul having a human experience 

Yet only human is what she claims 

But each day inside she feels it growing 

Her mind on a new plane 

Of everything she desires 

Her own best-friend

No longer looking for love in a man
