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

Bittersweetness.

Bittersweetness.

The way you slipped away from my hands,

Slowly and lovely

I should’ve known you could do me like that

You crawled back, thinking you had what it takes

I looked at you with a hope that lead to my heartbreak

I needed it, you needed it, but that wasn’t just it

You wanted it, I wanted it more for own my benefit

Open doors, you walked in, forgetting to clean your dirty steps from the last time

Who told you, you could leave me behind?

then I’m only left to find…..the parts of you that became a part of me

Put together, you became all of me

When you would come and go, you had me at an all time low

When you would come and go, you took me with you not knowing you were killing me so slow

And yet I still crave you as if you knew what I knew, that this love was so true

You couldn’t see all the things I did for you, boy you had my love misconstrued

Your problems of becoming a man became my pain

I became less of a woman, thinking I had you to gain

Thinking you would never let me go as if they were facts

Bittersweet this love became to be

I loved you in all ways I had left in me

Yet I fell in love with the way you slipped away,

The person I found again was me anyway

While you are gone, I still imagine ways of loving you,

The inner woman become alive

Turning a heartbreak into a breakthrough

Not paying a piece of mind to lose my peace of mind

The love I gave to you is now a love that is mine

Mask Off.

Mask Off.

Me-You.

Me-You.
