As deeply as I feel, I want you to feel too. I give you me and I give you love. Welcome to my sweet escape.

-With Love, Risa Raquel

A Walk to Remember.

A Walk to Remember.

what has been avowed to me

has become apart of my identity I knew always existed 

or expected, as this silent cry grows louder I try to bring to light  

it has dawn to me that through it all, I have become gentle 

or maybe I was always so gentle on the other side of this wall  

perhaps secretly protecting myself

…in mystifying ways 

that were too obscure for others to see the bigger picture

but I never doubted you 

I know too much about you 

certain that you would see me in my true colors 

as you did, but painted me in a way that was hard for me to vision

better yet, in a way I hoped for differently 

while new changes are placed on our lives 

each step we follow on the same grounds 

never lost

it was Us again, we always found


but revealing who I am is my most treasured part 

no matter how much time we spend apart 

I have located my tenderness while you quietly stayed the same

there you sat in the same game of shame 

while you sit, 

I stand here trying less of uncovering your truth that you have yet to let shine

to see you move how you talk is still a desire of mine


yet the sweet motion of the walk back to me was inseparable 

if at any fortune there comes a day were we cannot find each other again

there’s one thing I know that will always stand 

Comfort in Disguise.

Comfort in Disguise.
