“Can feel at times too fragile.”

‘Round And ‘Round
“As the wolf tosses her head frequently, impatiently beckoning me to take her outside for a fresh round as I clean up her peed-onto-floor mess and the tiger yowls and loudly clinks his glass food bowl at me demanding, I am reminded of my life as a teenager when having to care on my own for my ailing grandmother – and she would ring the bell from her bedroom, summoning.”
And My Joints Say
“HEEEEEEEEEY!”
Alright!
“This morning – is about scrambling!”
I Just Like Being With You
My Lyrics To “We’ll Meet Again” By Jeremy Blake (More Tears)
By Athena Stairs – June 20, 2026
When I was young
I dreamed that I’d find the one
And every day my heart would look for you
But no one came and my life was just the same
And at times I felt my heart was split in two
Then ever did I wander far
Looking out for every star that fell to earth
Because I swore there’d come a day
Now reaching far beyond my faith
Daring not to hesitate I swear I’ll find a way to bring you home to me
Where you’ll stay
Here with me
So every day I won’t give my love away
Because I know it belongs just to you
Here I’ll stand without making my demands
Because I know your heart must feel it too
When you wish upon a falling star
Wondering how near or far just know
I’d give the world to see you smile again
And whenever you’re feeling blue
I will always come on through because I’ve come to see I’m where I long to be
I will stay
Here waiting
You belong to me

(Far Away – Nickelback)
Baby…
I Gotta Git
“Pain be damned…”
Yes,
We’ve both lived cloaked under the shadows of fear and alarm for way too long…
My Love,
In you I find the door that I was looking for, waiting to be opened…
Reality Check
“I need recovery time that I am just not getting.”
Compression Spasms
“I’d like to think that someday I won’t be in so much pain…
They say that death guarantees that…
But then there’s incorporeal pain.”
Every Where
“There, but not there…
Nit there, but there…”
Stranded
She waited there, exposed to the dry heat of criticisms’ vultures picking at anything still barely alive and breathing.
They could laugh and they could cry.
They could chide her and say goodbye.
But still, she remained, sensing what was coming from far beyond the horizon.
High Investments
“Two hours driving and $30 gas to make $100 = $70 minus taxes.
Still worth it for quality interactions.”
Trying To Rest
To fly off to work.
Next Levels
Pressure and Pain
These Days,
“It feels like my light is sputtering.”
Make Your Play
“Whoever said “absence makes the heart fonder’ liked staying on the benches.”
Jaw Clenching
“Agitation.”
And Then,
“The power is cut off for some reason, thereby shutting off any internal electricy such as light, cooking, and air flow modulation – and neighboring smells increase and come into my unit from all atound due to the construction zones large air large hole’s suction below.
Why Is It?
“The good guys hesitate and the bad ones infiltrate – thereby, in a way, having similar effects of ‘ruining’ positive potential’s synergy?”
Am I Not Supposed To Care?
“That this once pleasant unit is the one that I had specifically chosen when forced out of my home in desperation?
And now my body and all of my belongings are ash tray soak-choked, while I am offered the pittance of a smaller unit, further displacement into undesirable orientation and more exposure to increased road noise and infiltration of privacy without any loss compensation?
BTW, what’s to stop the same issue from happening at the “new” unit, when the untended factors are still going unaddressed in their influence?”
A Bruised Heart
“It seems that I cannot get out of my own way.”
Need
“Why aren’t you here?!”
The Wolf And Me
“I love how quiet and low-key that we can sometimes be together.”
Alone
“Being a canary in a cole mine is overrated.”
The Line
“Apparently, the workers starting up ahain brought in greater fumes magnitude – and I am supposed to sleep in it!”
Some Satisfaction
“I figured out why the ash smell is getting pulled into my unit, but not the source of the smell.”
Mustering
“Must every effort require more to complete – with ever increasing pain intensity?”
It’s Time
“To begin rebuilding separation of issues in my body’s muscularity.”
Round Two
“Of the knot in the shoe!”
(No matter what I do – untying them gets them tangled!)
(The Way You Move In Me – Mansionair)
My Love,
Yes, I agree it’s time.
It’s been time.
It was time.
These horses inside me just haven’t known how to settle at the exciting overwhelm of actually getting to be with you!
Sweat
“It is too hot to linger – let me tell you that!”
“Thinking Of You” (Song)
By Athena Stairs – June 15, 2026 Early AM
Don’t tell me that it’s too soon or late
No I can’t hesitate
Oh I just can’t wait for you
Every day it’s in my way
Oh I contemplate
But there’s no debating my love for you
Ooh
What should I do?
Feelin’ so blue
Don’t debate
It’s too late when you turn around
No solid ground where love used to be
Arms waiting for you

Mmmmmm, Yum-my!
“Finally bathing clean, to step out of the shower and dry off with a crispy towel reeking of cigarette ash!”
Four Months

Lives for love.
When Powerless,
“One can still find hidden power.”
Belief Can Take Many Forms
“Even if one is only able to barely cling to one’s integrity.”
The Ringer
He put her through the same trials that others had done before.
But she refused to do the same to him.

Hope Vs. Control
(The Love I Have For You – Colton Dixon)
My Love,
We do not need to cut off pieces of our selves to be with each other.
Hidden
She couldn’t let him see it.
No.
She couldn’t just give her self away.
But inside, she begged.
Yes.
Inside, she begged.
I Try To Flex,
“But this is intolerable ‘cruelty.'”
